The Technicolor (TC) model is a dynamical theory without fundamental scalars. Due to the pseudo-Goldstone bosons, there exist some new flavor-changing (FC) couplings in the TC model which can contribute to the production rates of some FC processes. In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text] production process in the one-generation technicolor model (OGTM) at the ILC, i.e. [Formula: see text]. We find that the cross section [Formula: see text] with the OGTM's contributions can be largely enhanced and the [Formula: see text] signal should be observable at the ILC. Our predictions can be viewed as valid estimates of other TC models. Therefore, the process [Formula: see text] may provide a unique window for studying the TC theory.
