The Tokai team participated in the All Japan Team Competition today. For the past weeks, the selected athletes have been practicing hard and preparing for this big day. A few years ago, Tokai won first place at this same tournament. But since then, the team hasn't been as strong and they haven't managed to regain that title. This time as well, unfortunately, they didn't manage to win either. They made it to the semi-finals, losing to the same team they lost to last year. So it was a bit disappointing for everyone I think.

| The fighters lined up for the first match |
 |
| For the tournament, the girls had these cool t-shirts made. In the front, the "kai" part of Tokai |
 |
| And in the back, the remaining "To" part as well as the slogan: Champions again |
 |
One one sleeve, there are four kanjis written. These four kanjis are very hard to read, even my dad had some difficulty. Kanimaiou (かんいまいおう), which apparently means (according to the Internet): advancing in defiance
of difficulty towards an aim. |

| On the other sleeve: this stands for Tokai Joshi (girls) Judo, the 35 stands for the 35 girls in the club |
