In this season's Japan Table Tennis League Men's Club Finals, Tomokazu Chang represented Ryukyu Club against Kinoshita Tokyo, winning the championship 3-2 in Ryukyu in five sets, and Tomokazu Chang defeated Brazil's world No. 5 Calderano 11-4 in the tiebreaker to win the first title of this year. Ryukuro's world champion Maharu Yoshimura contributed two points in the men's doubles and men's singles competitions, still the top skill of the Japanese men's team.
Changmoto Tomokazu also played for Kinoshita Tokyo Club last season, and this season switched to Ryukyu to defect to his old club in the finals, Ryukyu also has 2017 World Table Tennis Championships mixed doubles champion Maharu Yoshimura, Kinoshita Tokyo has Brazil's Calderano and Ingra's Picheford, South Korea's Lee Sang-so and Japan's Shinozuka Daden and the men's singles champion of the 2021 All Japan Championship and Kawaniki Kawa.
In the first set, the men's doubles team sent the Yoshimura brothers to face Kinoshita Tokyo's Shinozuka Daiden/Oshima Yuya, the latter is a regular men's doubles pair who has represented the Tokyo club this season, but still slightly inferior to the Yoshimura brothers, and in the end, Maharu Yoshimura/Kazuhiro Yoshimura defeated Shinozuka Daiden/Oshima 2-1 (11-7, 10-12, 14-12). Then in the second set of the match, Kazuki Hamada of the Ryukyu Club lost 1-3 to Kinoshita Tokyo's Reki Wakawa, as a former Japanese champion and the third main player of the team runner-up of the Japanese men's team at last year's World Table Tennis Championships, naturally stronger than Kazuki Hamada in singles overall strength, and Ruiki Kawagawa equalized the score.
The third set of men's singles match by Tomokazu Chang against Daitō Shinozuka, the two ranked 1st and 2nd in the Olympic standings of the Japanese team in Paris, and the result was that Tomokazu Zhang 0-3 (8-11, 7-11, 8-11) lost to 19-year-old Daitō Shinozuka , Tomokazu Zhang was one year older than Daitō Shinozuka, but has been in the table tennis arena for many years, Shinozuka Daiteng has been selected into the Japanese team World Table Tennis Championships lineup, and also participated in 3 competitions like Tomokazu Zhang, due to the low world ranking of Shinozuka Daiteng, National Table Tennis in the past Grand Slam, The championship or even the challenge has not met the rising main player of the Japanese men's team, and being able to sweep Tomokazu Chang also proves that Shinozuka Daitō is by no means a weak brigade and may become a dark horse at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban.
In the fourth set, the Ryu team has fallen behind 1-2, sending 32-year-old veteran Maharu Yoshimura, who has already scored one point in the men's doubles with his younger brother, this time against Brazil's Calderano, Brazil's men's singles world ranking is No. 5, and just reached the semifinals of the men's singles at the Singapore Grand Slam, but Maharu Yoshimura defeated Calderano 3-2 without a way back, and the score was 11-6, 6-11, 11-3, 9-11, 11-7 in 5 sets, Although he has rarely appeared in international competitions, Maharu Yoshimura is still a threat as the only active world champion of the Japanese men's team, and he has contributed greatly by scoring two points in this championship match.
The two sides had to win the championship through a golden tiebreaker, with world No. 4 Zhang Benzhi and No. 5 Calderano representing their respective clubs, and Zhang Benzhihe defeated Calderano with a very easy score of 11-4. Tomokazu Chang participated in the All Japan Championship this year but lost to Hayasuke Togami in the men's singles final, and then lost to Nigeria's Aruna at the Singapore Grand Slam, and it was not until the finals of this league that he won his first title this year, but the loss to Shinozuka Daden was also a wake-up call, and the Japanese men's team Tomokazu Chang was not without opponents.
