Their participation represents Toyota Motor Asia's continued partnership with athletes across the region, supporting them not only as they pursue sporting excellence, but also as they inspire others through their journeys on and beyond the field of play.
Sport as a Force That Moves People Forward
Sport has long been an important part of Toyota Motor Asia's Move Your World promise, reflecting the belief that movement is not only about travelling from one place to another, but also about having the opportunity to participate, pursue ambitions and progress.
Across moments of victory and defeat, the journeys of Toyota's athletes reflect this in various ways, from adapting to new sporting pathways and reaching new levels of competition, to inspiring the next generation and creating impact within their communities.
Through its partnerships with athletes and sporting communities, Toyota Motor Asia seeks to support this spirit of progress across the region. Since 2018, Toyota has partnered with more than 20 Global Team Toyota Athletes in Asia, supporting athletes across different markets, abilities and sporting disciplines as they work towards their goals on the international stage.
Toyota Group will also support the Games through a range of mobility solutions, providing more than 1,900 rental vehicles to transport athletes and officials, alongside 15 eco-vehicles and more than 100 small mobility units to support movement across competition venues.
"At Toyota Motor Asia, this belief is central to Move Your World and to our continued partnership with the Global Team Toyota Athletes. As they represent their countries at Aichi-Nagoya 2026, we are proud to stand alongside them, celebrate their journeys and support the communities they inspire," said Preston Tan, Vice President, Toyota Motor Asia.
Moving Through a Shared Beat
Sport is one of the most powerful ways to move people, but the feelings it creates—hope, excitement, belonging and shared pride—can extend beyond the sporting arena. Music carries a similar ability to transcend language, bring together different voices and create shared experiences across communities.
As part of Toyota Motor Asia's regional Move Your World brand platform, Move Your World Beat is a music-led activation that brings together six musicians from across Asia to explore self-expression, connection and collective identity through sound.
Toyota Motor Asia is bringing this idea to life through six original tracks, each created by a different artist using sounds sampled from Toyota vehicles and blending them with the musical influences, instruments and cultural identities of their respective markets. The result is six distinct interpretations of what it means to move, each shaped by a different voice and sense of place.
These individual tracks will ultimately come together in one regional collaboration, bringing different sounds and perspectives into a shared beat. By combining their individual contributions into one composition, Move Your World Beat shows how different voices can retain their distinct identities while contributing to something greater together.
The athletes' journeys demonstrate how sport can create opportunities, challenge perceptions and bring people together—and how movement, in its many different forms, can help move the world forward.
The Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games are taking place from 19 September to 4 October 2026, followed by the Asian Para Games from 18 to 24 October 2026.
