The! Tetsuwan! DASH!! Fukushima reconstruction projects

Overview

Cast members of the Nippon TV program ‘The! Tetsuwan! DASH!!’ have launched several reconstruction and community-focused initiatives in Fukushima Prefecture.

In August 2026, the team began a project to construct a massive six-meter-long bow and arrow using local timber. This symbolic effort, intended to represent prayers for prosperity and family reunions, was organized in conjunction with the ‘24 Hour Television’ broadcast. Cast members visited tsunami-impacted areas, including Soma City, Okuma, and Namie, to prepare for the project.

By September 2026, the group shifted focus to the ‘DASH My (Rice) Dream’ initiative in Otama Village. This project involves building a custom, boat-shaped trailer house using local Fukushima timber to support their 26th year of rice farming. The construction effort has included participation from local high school students and J-League players, alongside community events such as a summer festival.
