The Japanese team announced the list of Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships: Zhang Benzhi and Ito Makoto led Ishikawa Jiachun missed

The Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships will be held from September 30th to October 9th. As the competition period approaches, the participating teams will actively prepare for the battle, and the teams of this competition will also be announced. As the largest opponent defending the Chinese men's and women's team, the Japanese team has announced the list of players.

In terms of men's teams, Zhang Benzhi and leading the world's ranked fourth place, Dan Yu Xiaoshi, Toyo Hiroshi, Sichuan Ruiji and Heng Gu Sheng were listed. Compared to the men's team lineup, the list of members of the Japanese women's pong's participation is more surprising. As a member of the last World Table Tennis Team Group, Ishikawa Jiachun Heping Ye Meiyu was not selected. The list of Japanese women's team was ranked by the world. The third place is led by Ito Makoto, and Haya Hata, Sato Hitomi, Muhara Miki and Nagasaki Miki are famous.

Due to the cancellation of the Busan World Table Tennis Championships in 2020, the last World Table Tennis Team Tournament was traced back to 2018. At that time, in Halmestad, Sweden, both Chinese men's and women's table tennis reached the top. Among them, in the women's team finals, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 3-1, and the combination of Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling faced Ishikawa Jiachun and Ito Makoto Hepingo Miyu. Instead, the next three games swept the opponent in three games, and finally successfully completed the four consecutive championships.

In the men's team finals, the Chinese team led by Malone, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin all the way, and finally won nine consecutive championships. On the other hand, the Japanese team, Mizutani, Zhang Benzhi, Matsuya Jian Tai, Dan Yu Xiaoxi and Oshima Yoshiko lost to the South Korean team 1-3 in the 1/4 final, and finally did not even get the semi-finals. After four years of growth, Zhang Benzhi and the competition experience are more rich. Under his leadership, Japanese men's table tennis expects to play a "turnaround" in the Chengdu World Table Tennis Team Competition.
