Toray Arrows (men's volleyball team)


Toray Arrows is a men's volleyball team based in Mishima city, Shizuoka, Japan. They play in V.League. The owner of the team is Toray.

History

The club was founded in 1947 in Ōtsu, Shiga Prefecture as Toyo Rayon Kurin Kai. They initially played nine-player volleyball. They moved to Mishima in 1964 and started to play six-player volleyball. They were described as the strongest team in the second-tier league but when they were promoted to the top-flight, they found themselves languishing in the wrong end of the table. However, since they returned to the Japan Volleyball League in the 1988-1989 season, they established themselves as a top-flight team. They won All Japan Championship in 2002 and the V.League in the 2004-2005 season.
