Victorina Himeji

The team registered with the Japan Volleyball association in March 2016. Three months later Yoshie Takeshita was announced as head coach.[5][6] In November 2016 Masayoshi Manabe, who was born in Himeji, was appointed general manager.[7][8]

In July 2017, Himeji announced it would transfer the franchise of bankrupt club Sendai Belle Fille to Himeji Victorina, with a requirement that it take 8 of the players from Sendai Belle Fille and reach contract agreements with them.[9] If successful it would be the first time in Japan that one club team had transferred to another.[10] The team's goal was to enter the V.Challenge League II for the 2017-2018 season. By August 3rd Himeji had reached an agreement with only two Sendai players.[11] On August 10 the V.League announced Himeji had been unable to sign a sufficient number of Sendai players and would not be allowed to participate in the V.Challenge League II 2017-18 season.[12]

In March 2018 the Japanese V.League announced Himeji Victorina will play the 2018–2019 season in the newly organized V.League Division 2[13]

On March 17, 2019, Himeji Victorina defeated JA Gifu Rioreina in straight sets to claim the title of Women's V.League Division 2 Champions.[14] As 2018-2019 V2 Champions they are automatically promoted to play the 2019-2020 season in V.League Division 1.[15]

Masayoshi Manabe is currently the team owner and Kiyoshi Abo is the team's general manager.[16]
