Softball
Softball first arrived in Japan from the US in 1921, soon gaining popularity as a women's sport. Japan eventually grew to become one of the world's top teams, spurred on by their rivalry with the US, traditionally a dominant force in the sport.

We speak to former national coach Taeko Utsugi about Japan's unique approach to softball.
