I didn't see that anyone has shared this awesome news that Shoma will be one of the runners with the Oly torch this summer. Pretty cool.

Adding -- Now I am seeing that he is NOMINATED to be one of the runners, so maybe it's not 100% sure yet?
It's now 100% sure, Congratulations Shoma for being selected as 1 of the 42 Olympic Torch bearers for Aichi Prefecture!
Shoma's relay route will be on April 7th, 2020. His senpai, Akiko Suzuki is also selected to be another Olympic Torch bearer for Aichi.
Great news on his birthday!
