Before that, their best result in the tournament was a fifth-place finish the year before, in 2022. The recent results show Japan\u2019s growth in the international scene as they had previously ranked 12th in 2018, tenth in 2019 and 11th in 2021.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/cspa8Bo6eSw\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/cspa8Bo6eSw<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.volleyballworld.com\/volleyball\/competitions\/volleyball-nations-league\/teams\/men\/6592\/players\/\"><b>The squad<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Japan currently have their most talented generation in quite some time and trust them to take the country back to the place it occupied in the 1970s. Captain Yuki Ishikawa is one of the biggest stars of international volleyball now and is the heart and soul of the team. He\u2019s in good company at the outside hitter position with Ran Takahashi, who had a brilliant season in Italy with Mint Vero Volley Monza. High-jumping opposite Yuji Nishida is another important weapon in the offense orchestrated by the crafty Masahiro Sekita. Veterans Taishi Onodera and Akihiro Takahashi bring experience in the middle while Tomohiro Yamamoto has been the most frequent option at libero.<\/p>\n<p><b>Player to watch<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Kento Miyaura had to step up to replace Nishida while he battled some injuries in the last two years and delivered what the team needed at opposite. An explosive left-handed player, he\u2019s very strong offensively and also extremely dangerous from the service line with his potent serve. The 25-year-old Miayura has produced remarkable performances against strong opponents in 2023, tallying 28 points against Argentina and 24 against Brazil in the VNL and 27 against the United States in the Olympic Qualifier.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eAvrVAdl78I\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/eAvrVAdl78I<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>The coach<\/b><\/p>\n<p>French Phillip Blain was promoted to the head coach role with Japan in 2022, after working for five years as an assistant under Yuichi Nakagaichi. Under his guidance, the Asians took bronze at the VNL 2023 and also won the Asian Championship last year. Before working with Japan, Blain led Poland to gold at the 2014 World Championship and his native France to take silver at the 2006 FIVB World League and the 2003 and 2009 European Championships.<\/p>\n<p><em>&nbsp; <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-126989\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-580x326.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-860x484.jpeg 860w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-1160x653.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-500x281.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-1280x720.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-1920x1080.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-1320x743.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/jijqtmu9g1tabxlpc9kx-600x338.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Blain has been working with Japan since 2017, including the last two seasons as the head coach<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b> Get your VNL merchandise now by clicking <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.volleyballworld.com\/collections\/vnl?_gl=1*kldvuh*_gcl_au*NDUyNzAyMDg4LjE3MDgyNjc2MDk.*_ga*MTcxMDM5MzUxNS4xNjc4MDk1MjUy*_ga_R215V1S3VM*MTcxNTA2NDM2MC42NTQuMS4xNzE1MDY0MzcyLjQ4LjAuMTQ3NTMyODA2OA..\">here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><b> Sync the VNL 2024 with your calendar <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/ql.e-c.al\/3sFJM6p\">here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.volleyballworld.com\/volleyball\/competitions\/volleyball-nations-league\/teams\/men\/6592\/schedule\/#fromDate=2024-05-20\"><b>The match schedule<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Japan will make the trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the first week of the VNL 2024 and will debut against Argentina on May 21.
