I am Rio Takeda, and I am thrilled to be sponsored by the Fujifilm Group.

Being a Kumamoto native, which is also home to Fujifilm’s semiconductor and display materials factory, and also being an instax™ hobbyist, I feel I have a special connection with the Fujifilm Group.

I was truly impressed to discover how at the Fujifilm Group, each employee is guided by their personal aspirations to take on global challenges.

My aspiration is to live by the “you can do it if you try” mindset. This is the spirit I wish to carry with me during my LPGA tournaments. I would love your support!

I am excited to share this website created with the Fujifilm Group. It is packed with content including clips of my golf shots and instax™ prints I’ve taken. Come and take a look!

This week was the Evian Championship!
The town of Évian has such beautiful scenery—it was healing every single day 😆
The photo was taken with the stunning sunset over Lake Geneva in the background 🌇
I’m already looking forward to coming back for this tournament next year♪

This week was an open week, so I returned to Japan for the first time in a while 🇯🇵
When I arrived at Kumamoto Airport, I saw a Fujifilm billboard and snapped a photo with it 😆
It was a great refresh before the tournament starting next week ✨

It had a different vibe from usual, and I had so much fun 😆

This week, I visited Shibuko-san’s house on a practice day and had a meal together! 🍚
Here’s a photo from when we made and enjoyed an acai bowl for dessert! 😆
Acai bowls are commonly sold at supermarkets in the U.S.!
We all had a delicious time!

Rio’s Aspiration

My dream is to win an LPGA major. I want my games to bring smiles to people.: Under its Group Purpose of “Giving our world more smiles,” the Fujifilm Group has engaged in a wide range of sports initiatives. In July 2024, the Group signed a sponsorship agreement with professional golfer Rio Takeda. In her third year as a pro, Rio attained her first win at the start of the 2024 season, went on to claim eight victories in total, and also became leading money-winner in JLPGA tour. Now in 2025, she is embracing the challenge of playing in LPGA tour with her sights set on becoming a golfer who brings smiles to people around the globe. We sat down with Rio — now competing in sportswear featuring the Fujifilm corporate brand and instax™ logo — to talk about her aspirations and the journey that has brought her to this point.
