Of these, the men's 200-meter breaststroke, which is said to be a Japanese specialty, is Ippei Watanabe, who holds the Japanese record for this event, Yasuhiro Koseki, who holds the Japanese record for the 100-meter breaststroke, and the time has increased at once in the past year. It is expected that there will be fierce competition with talented players such as Shouma Sato, a second-year college student.
In the men's 100-meter breaststroke held on the first day of the tournament, Sato marked the time approaching his personal best and won the tournament for the first time.
