Yoshiki and Pokémon Lead Disaster Relief Efforts for Kumamoto and Europe
Pokémon Company donated 100 million yen to Kumamoto Prefecture, the Japanese Red Cross, and other relief groups after Kumamoto’s July 28 6.8-magnitude earthquake, while YOSHIKI personally gave 10 million yen to the Japanese Red Cross; he also contributed 100,000 euros to the French and Spanish Red Cross to aid wildfire relief in Europe amid a heatwave, as casualties rose and evacuations continued in Japan and wildfires burned across Europe.
