The 1964 Paralympic Games also served as the catalyst for Japan to promote greater participation in society of people with impairments, and the establishment of a support framework.

14 Venue Plan Tokyo 2020 s promise to deliver the Olympic and Paralympic Games that puts athletes first is embodied in the overall compact concept which places the athletes at the physical and inspirational centre of the Games in the heart of one of the world s major cities. The Tokyo 2020 Games will utilise a total of 43 venues 8 new permanent venues, 25 existing sites and 10 temporary venues most of which are located in two central zones of the city. 42 of these 43 venues will be used for competitions of the Olympic Games, and 20 of them will be used for the Paralympic Games. Each venue will allow athletes to perform at their best. The venues are located in two separately themed zones, one demonstrating a vision for the future and the other respecting heritage. The Heritage Zone, home to the legacy of the Olympic Games Tokyo 1964, and the Tokyo Bay Zone, a model for future urban development, will offer unique reflections for the world of both the history and the future of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The two connected zones appear on the map as an infinity symbol, embodying Tokyo s infinite passion for athletes and sports, infinite potential to reach out to young people around the world and infinite legacy stories, Tokyo 2020 will be the Games with Infinite Excitement. The Athletes Village will be located right between these two zones, further reinforcing the compactness of Tokyo 2020 s venue plan. With almost 60 per cent of the venues utilising existing facilities, Tokyo 2020 has embraced the Olympic Agenda 2020 to create a sustainable legacy for the city of Tokyo and Japan, while minimising construction costs. The existing venues, including some inherited from the Tokyo 1964 Games, will be modernised and refurbished to extend their legacy for the next generation. The new permanent venues will herald a new legacy, bringing welcome new facilities to citycentre living. Last but not least, the temporary venues will be located in spectacular settings, offering incredible backdrops for competitors and broadcasters alike. Hosted in one of the world s most exciting and forwardthinking cities, which is home to some 35 million people and welcomes over 10 million overseas visitors each year, the Tokyo 2020 Games will be fully integrated into Tokyo city life, and the city will itself serve a similar function to an Olympic park, providing a festive and celebratory atmosphere that engages visitors and spectators far and wide.

A special panel set up by Tokyo 2020 last year decided there should be a mascot design competition open to the public, with the winning design set selected from a shortlist by elementary school classes across Japan. The children learned about the Olympic and Paralympic values during their discussions, and were encouraged to evaluate the designs on the basis of these. 2,042 mascot design entries were submitted from across Japan in the submission period during the first two weeks of August Following a review of the entries, the Tokyo 2020 mascot panel shortlisted three design sets each containing one mascot for the Olympic Games and one for the Paralympic Games and unveiled these on 7 December From 11 December 2017 to 22 February 2018, schoolchildren at every elementary school across the country were given the opportunity to review the shortlisted designs, with their classes casting a single vote in favour of one of the sets. International schools in Japan, as well as Japanese schools overseas, were included in the voting process. On 28 February 2018, Tokyo 2020 unveiled the winning Tokyo 2020 Games Mascots. 205,755 classes at 16,769 schools took part in the election, with the winning Design Set A receiving 109,041 votes. Design Set B attracted 61,423 votes and Design Set C received 35,291. The Mascot Selection Panel will now decide names for the winning mascots, which will make their official debut in July or August [Download file] Creative Brief for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 Games The timeline for the design and selection process will be as follows: mascot panel selects shortlist of design sets mascot panel decides names for the winning mascots design submission period elementary school children vote on the shortlist (submission via a special website) design set with the largest number of votes is announced as the winner to14 August 11 December February 28 February July August Volunteers Volunteers will play a vital role in the smooth operation of the Games, providing support and information at competition venues and in the Athletes Village.

25 Tokyo 2020 Medal Project Tokyo 2020 has commenced the nationwide collection of discarded and obsolete electronic devices, including smartphones, digital cameras, handheld games and laptops, in order to use the metal they contain in the production of the medals that will be awarded to athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo Since the launch of the project in April 2017, athletes, students from partner universities and people in Japan have been cooperating with the project by collecting used small electronic devices. Tokyo 2020 partner companies have also been supporting the project in various ways, for example by collecting their employees used mobile phones. As of December 2017, about 2,400 NTT DOCOMO stores and a total of 1,262 municipal authorities across Japan approximately 90% of the authorities that regularly conduct the recycling of small home appliances are acting as collection centres for discarded devices. Collection update (April October 2017) approximately 1,874 tons of discarded devices collected by municipal authorities across Japan approximately 1.8 million used mobile phones handed in at NTT DOCOMO stores across Japan Licensed Merchandise In 2016, Tokyo 2020 launched its merchandise licensing programme with the sale of products featuring Tokyo 2020 Games emblems. The chosen products are of high quality, showcasing Japan s worldleading technology, culture and traditions; they will enhance the image of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and become souvenirs that evoke vivid memories of the Tokyo 2020 Games. JOC & JPC Official Licensed Products include the Character Design Series, a collection of designs featuring eight wellknown Japanese animation characters. This is a collaborative effort by several Japanese publishers attempting to engage not only people in Japan but also those visiting from other countries. Tokyo 2020 has licensed various kinds of merchandise, wiht categories including Original Merchandise, JOC Official Licensed Products and JPC Official Licensed Products. These are available for purchase through an official website by residents of Japan and at a number of retail outlets across Japan, including those at the two main international airports, Narita International Airport and Tokyo International Airport Haneda.

26 Games for the Next Generation Sustainability Tokyo 2020 is embracing the entire concept of sustainability in its preparations for the Games, covering not only environmental issues, but also the consideration of human rights, working conditions and practices, and the management of supply chains. Tokyo 2020 has made sustainability one of its overriding priorities and will include sustainability in all aspects of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo Tokyo 2020 has commissioned various sustainability activities during its preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Games, including Operation BATON, a sustainability programme launched in October BATON stands for Building Athletes Village with Timber Of the Nation, an initiative whereby buildings in the Village Plaza of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 are to be constructed using timber from sustainable sources in participating municipalities, in line with the Tokyo 2020 Sustainable Sourcing Code for Timber. The Village Plaza will be one of the main facilities in the Athletes Village. After the Games, the Plaza will be dismantled and the timber will be returned to the municipalities for them to reuse. As part of the Operation BATON programme, Tokyo 2020 recently unveiled special wooden emblems crafted from timber donated by participating municipalities across Japan. The emblems were commissioned to celebrate the launch of Operation BATON, and are formed of trees such as sugi (Japanese cedar), karamatsu (Japanese larch) and hinoki (Japanese cypress), which are commonly used in the construction of houses in Japan. In January 2017 Tokyo 2020 published Version 1 of its Olympic and Paralympic Games Sustainability Plan. This plan illustrates the directions, the objectives and examples of sustainability measures being implemented during preparations for the Games, as a reference for all Gamesrelated entities. Detailed target setting and specification of roles will be embodied in Version 2 of the Plan, scheduled to be drawn up in the summer of The Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games Sustainable Sourcing Code (1st edition) was also formulated, aimed at ensuring the sustainability and economical use of all products and services procured by Tokyo 2020 during the preparation and operating phases of the Tokyo 2020 Games. In addition, the sourcing code defines the individual criteria for the sourcing of timber, agricultural products, livestock and fishery products. In order to realise a society that practices sustainable consumption and production in line with the UN s Sustainable Development Goals, Tokyo 2020 plans to undertake similar initiatives and will continue to work towards achieving widespread public recognition of the importance of sustainability.

27 Accessibility With the widespread installation of barrierfree facilities across Tokyo s extensive public transportation system and in public amenities, the city is already one of the most accessible in the world. Hosting the Games will be a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate to the world the ways in which cities can ensure universal accessibility and promote the health and wellbeing of their residents through the use of new technologies and architectural innovation. To achieve our goal of realising a universally accessible and fullyinclusive Games, Tokyo 2020 has formulated the Tokyo 2020 Accessibility Guidelines in conjunction with relevant government organisations, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, relevant municipal authorities and organisations for persons with impairments; The guidelines have been approved by the IPC. To receive a copy, send an to the below address providing your name, organisation and the reason for your request. The Paralympic Integration Department Games Operations Bureau The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games acsguidelines tokyo2020.jp Tokyo 2020 is also compiling an accessibility training manual. This manual is designed for the training of Tokyo 2020 Gamesrelated staff and volunteers, but we will also encourage all our Games delivery partners, private contractors and other relevant parties to utilise this manual for their own staff training purposes. Technology The Tokyo 2020 Games are an opportunity for Japan, for its capital city and for the Japanese business community to amaze the world in areas not directly related to the Games. Specifically, Tokyo 2020 is hoping that the Tokyo 2020 Games will act as a forum to showcase a diverse range of technological innovations. These will include hydrogenpowered vehicles, multilingual translation devices, and enhanced sportsrelated data devices equipped with the very latest ICT technologies. We are delighted that the Tokyo 2020 Games are stimulating Japanese companies and are encouraging innovation. Together with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the national government, Tokyo 2020 is working to encourage more and more Japanese companies to develop innovative products and services, especially in the sports industry. 24

28 Harnessing the Power of Sport in Tohoku and Kumamoto Tokyo 2020 is committed to the revitalisation of Japan through sport. This includes supporting the recovery of the areas that were affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake. Members of Tokyo 2020 joined a traditional summer obon dance festival in Iwaki City in Fukushima on 14 August The festival featured a new dance performance created for the revamped version of the Tokyo Gorin Ondo song the first time it had been performed in areas affected by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The Iwaki obon dance festival dates back more than 60 years. In the aftermath of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the city welcomed and hosted many people who had to evacuate from their hometowns and who eventually settled there. Even during those difficult times, people in the community continued holding their obon summer dance festivals to lift everyone's spirits. Tokyo 2020 Sports Director and Olympic hammerthrow gold medallist Koji Murofushi regularly travels to the affected areas and keeps in close contact with local residents. Accompanied by local athletes, Murofushi visited two junior high schools in one of the most affected areas in Kumamoto Prefecture in September 2016, aiming to encourage the 900 students there by invoking the power of sport. The Olympic and Paralympic Flags Tour took place in the region and a Tokyo 2020 Education Programme event was held there as well. Through these and similar events planned for the future, Tokyo 2020 is hoping to bring hope and joy to the inhabitants of the affected regions, and to help them feel part of the buildup to the Tokyo 2020 Games and part of the Games themselves. In 2020, the world will witness a vivid demonstration of the power and values of sport not only in Tokyo, but across the entire country, where the Games aim to inspire new hopes, dreams and aspirations. Tokyo 2020 will continue to engage with local communities in the Tohoku region and Kumamoto Prefecture. The cultural programme, the volunteer programme, the Live Sites programme, the Flag Tour and the Torch Relay are just some of the milestone events that will be staged to ensure the people of Tohoku and Kumamoto are just as involved in the Games as everyone else in Japan. 25

29 A United Team Ready to Deliver Since its formal establishment in January 2014 under the leadership of President Yoshiro Mori and CEO Toshiro Muto, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee has wasted no time in preparing for the delivery of the Games, and great progress has been made so far. The Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 will have a fantastic impact not only in Tokyo, but throughout the entire country. That's why the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee is engaging with all delivery partners to form a tightlyknit team, united behind a single goal: the success of the Tokyo 2020 Games. Yoshiro MORI Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori was appointed as the President of the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee on the day of its establishment, on 24 January Since that time, Tokyo 2020 has flourished under his leadership. A team player, he has helped to set up collaborative structures between all Games delivery partners, including national bodies such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the national government, and the Japanese Olympic Committee and Japanese Paralympic Committee. As a former Prime Minister of Japan, Mori is using his extensive political experience to spearhead preparations to host the world s greatest sporting spectacle. With a clear vision and understanding of the enormity and complexity of the tasks that lie ahead, he is laying solid foundations to ensure the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 will long be remembered as one of the greatest in history. Accustomed to the international stage, Mori is working closely with the leaders of the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, with whom he has developed close working relationships. He was first elected to the Japanese House of Representatives in After serving as Minister of Education, Minister of International Trade and Industry, and Minister of Construction, he was elected as Japan's Prime Minister in Mori has a long history of active involvement in Japanese sport, having served as Honorary Chairman of the Japan Sports Association, Honorary Member of the Japanese Olympic Committee and President of the Japan Rugby Football Union. Toshiro MUTO Tokyo 2020 Chief Executive Officer Toshiro Muto was named CEO of the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee on the day of its establishment, on 24 January Since his appointment, he has played an instrumental role in developing the committee s organisational structure, creating the Tokyo 2020 Games Vision and the Games Foundation Plan, selecting Tokyo s proposed additional events, and formulating the Tokyo 2020 Action & Legacy Plan. Muto was a strong advocate for engaging the general public in the creation and selection process for the Tokyo 2020 Games emblems, and was the driving force behind the review of Tokyo 2020 s venue master plan, which has resulted in enhancing the sustainability of the Tokyo 2020 Games, and achieving substantial cost reductions. He has also overseen the Tokyo 2020 Sponsorship Programme, which is enjoying phenomenal success and continues to attract prospective domestic corporate partners Previously, Muto served as the Chairman of the Daiwa Institute of Research (DIR), and was a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo s Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology. Immediately after the devastating earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011, he and the DIR proposed the establishment of the Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Fund. Before joining the private sector, Muto spent over 30 years at the Ministry of Finance, rising eventually to Administrative Vice Minister of Finance in June In March 2003, he became a Deputy Governor and Policy Board Member of the Bank of Japan. In this capacity, he led efforts to return the Japanese economy to a path of sustainable growth by instituting a variety of antideflationary measures, and was involved in both the planning and execution of fiscal policy for the Cabinet. 26
