Seto was canceled by ANA, which had a four-year affiliation contract since April 2017. It was reported on the women’s issue, and the ANA party offered it. ANA’s Public Relations Department explained: “We have supported Seto’s efforts as an athlete, but this case was not suitable for the image we expected and we canceled the contract.” The affiliation contract is the biggest pillar of the sponsorship contracts that athletes carry out. It can have a financial impact on future competition activities.
Seto won two singles mixes at the World Championships last summer and was named a representative for the Tokyo Olympics. However, it was reported that he spent about an hour and a half in a hotel in Tokyo with a woman other than Ms. Yuka on “Daily Shincho” on September 23.

It is expected that it will be difficult to participate in the tournament as the time to decide on a new membership approaches. He says he is considering participating in the next international league (October-November, Budapest).
Seto apologized through the management company on the 24th of last month and said, “I am very sorry.” Also on this day, the company announced the decline of the symbol athlete and the representative of the swimming race: “I would like to express my deepest apologies to all the people who support Daiya Seto, the companies that support us and all interested people. “.
