Volleyball Club[]

The boys' volleyball team is a long-time powerhouse that has attended Spring Tournament for three years consecutively and 31 times overall. They are the runners-up of the last Interhigh and the current 2nd seed. They defeated a nationally-ranked top 3 spiker Wakatsu Kiryū and his team Mujinazaka in the semifinals, before taking a set from eventual champions Itachiyama. The year prior, Inarizaki finished in third place in both the Interhigh and Spring High tournaments. They are known for their skilled list of players, such as the Miya Brothers, and the top 2 scorers for Inarizaki, Rintarō Suna and Aran Ojiro, who is said to be one of the top five aces in the nation. The team has garnered a reputation as the "strongest challengers" for their unconventional play style and tendency to take risks. The team's motto is: "We don't need (things like) memories", to signify not being held down by past accomplishments and always taking on new challenges.

It has been mentioned that the volleyball team is extremely popular with the Miya twins attracting many fans. Inarizaki matches are usually accompanied by their large orchestra and cheer squad who have developed a technique to distract their opponents with rhythm and sound.

Trivia[]

  • Inarizaki has participated in the Spring High tournament 31 times and this time is their 3rd consecutive appearance. It seems that they are a powerhouse team in Hyōgo prefecture.
  • In addition to the volleyball club, Inarizaki has many powerhouses in the athletic clubs.
  • Inarizaki has a massive orchestra-like cheering squad. Apparently, their cheering squad is known because of their "beat" that quickly catches-off an opponent server's timing once the server is lured into the rhythm they make.
  • Inarizaki appears to be represented by foxes, likely from their school name 'Inari' (稲荷) which is a name of a Japanese kami of foxes[4].
  • Inarizaki's official banner reads:

    "思い出なんかいらん" ("Omoide nanka iran") which translates to "We don't need (things like) memories"[6].
  • In a panel from Jump Festa 2018, it is revealed that most of Inarizaki are named after subspecies of foxes. The Miya twins are the exceptions with their family name meaning "shrine", referencing shrines of the fox deity known as Inari.
  • Inarizaki is one of few high schools that does not have a confirmed vice-captain.
