Nobuhiko Hasegawa was three-time world champion in Stockholm in 1967 (men's singles, men's team and mixed doubles) and again world champion with the team in Munich in 1969 when he, together with Shigeo Itoh and Mitsuru Kohno, played against the German team with Eberhard Schöler , Bernt Jansen and Wilfried Lieck won 5-3.
