No, Sarina Koga and Yuji Nishida don’t have any children.
Yuji Nishida, born on January 30, 2000, is a volleyball player from Japan known for his talent as a left-hander. Nishida’s ascent in the world of volleyball has been meteoric. As of now, Nishida is not associated with any club, having parted ways with JTEKT Stings on May 26, 2023. Nishida’s introduction to the professional world of volleyball came about when he played his first game for JTEKT Stings in V.League on January 6, 2018, facing off against Osaka Blazers Sakai.
Making a smashing entry at just 17, his talent was evident and he quickly became an integral part of JTEKT’s Starting 6. The young prodigy was instrumental in achieving a commendable seventh-place finish for the team in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, a feat not seen for almost three decades. Being one of the fresh faces in the 2018 roster of the Japan men’s national volleyball team and the FIVB Cup Final, Nishida proved age is just a number.
His international debut was during the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men’s Nations League and he did not disappoint. In June 2018, he became the linchpin in Japan’s thrilling victory against Italy, a victory that had eluded them for 11 long years. With a tally of 24 points comprising 21 spikes and 3 aces, Nishida was the talk of the town. The September of 2018 marked another high in Nishida’s career. While playing against Argentina in the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship, he made history by becoming the youngest player to notch up 30 points in a single match. In June 2019, he outdid himself and shattered serving records in VNL by delivering an astonishing 7 aces in one game during a match against Canada.
