Two champions at the Japanese volleyball cup in the 2022-23 season belonged to JTTKT Stings and NEC Red Rockets.
Accordingly, the finals of the Emperor Cup and Queen Cup 2022, a long -standing tournament of Japanese volleyball have been held. The two men and women champions were crowned after surpassing rival Toray Arrows.
Two hands beating the MVP of the tournament are Masahiro Yanagida – former captain of the Japanese men's volleyball team and Sarina Koga, captain of the Japanese women's volleyball team.
This was a disappointing tournament of this team when both men and women lost in the final. Worth mentioning, this was the third consecutive year Mayu Ishikawa and his teammates returned to the enemy in the position in Quan.
Masahiro Yanagida, meanwhile, the former Japanese male volleyball team captain had his first championship in the new team shirt after two consecutive years of winning the Japanese championship with Suntory.
Worth mentioning, in the new shirt Masahiro Yanagida reunited with the leading star of the Japanese volleyball, Yuji Nishida. For Japan to return home after a year of playing abroad is not too successful.
With the presence of the couple Masahiro Yanagida and Yuji Nishida, JTikt Stings is considered the No. 1 candidate for the Japanese volleyball championship championship after many years Suntory dominated.
