Japanese table tennis championship

The All-Japanese Table Tennis Championship ( Japanese 全 日本 卓 球 選手 権 大会 , Zen-Nihon takkyū senshuken taikai ) determines the national Japanese champions in table tennis every January . The organizer is Nihon Takkyū Kyōkai , the Japanese table tennis association. The championship will be held today at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo District Shibuya instead; earlier the Tōkyō Budōkan in Adachi , in some years other cities as well.

The tournament is played in a simple knockout mode, at the 2010 tournament in January 2011 there were 270 participants in the men's singles and 263 in the women’s singles. As in national championships in other sports, the winner of the men receives the "Kaiser Cup" ( Tennō-hai ), the winner the "Kaiserinnenpokal" ( Kōgō-hai ). In addition, there are general tournaments ( ippan no bu ) competitions for men and women doubles, and since 1946 in mixed doubles.

Since 1950 there has also been a junior tournament, from 1947, 1951 and 1960 championships for seniors in the categories "Senior", "Veteran" and "Open", since 1967 a masters tournament, since 1980 the "Cadet tournament" and the "Hopes Cup Bambi" for students up to the second year of secondary school and since 1966 a team competition.
