Tokito Oda｜What Are You Working On?｜Nike

Tokito Oda is an unstoppable force. Diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 9, Tokito was forced to give up his dream of becoming a soccer player. However, he soon became obsessed with wheelchair tennis after his doctor recommended it to him. Five years later, at the age of 14, he became the World No.1 in the juniors, and since then, Tokito has set numerous world records as the youngest professional wheelchair tennis player in history. Currently touring around the world, we join Oda in his hometown of Ichinomiya in Aichi to reflect on his roots and document his pursuit of his dreams.

We focus on Oda, who is trying to be a role model for others so they can dream in the same way he did while in his hospital bed.
