Hatsudenjo Academy

Hatsudenjo Academy is a middle school in the Hyōgo Prefecture.

Volleyball Club
Hatsudenjo has been a long time powerhouse. It has always placed in the top 4 in tournaments. The most well known generation was the years of Tanji Furukawa, Takeru Kaido, Satori Ryosuuke, Hitoshi Ginjima, Oshita Matsumoto, and also Akiba Konoha's 3rd Year. The team made it to the 2011 Middle School All Japan Nationals Tournament, where they placed 3rd in the Nation. Their jersey colors are Red, Black, and Green. The team was so powerful, that most weak opponents they faced would give up immediately. The former 8 members were named the "The Bulldozers". This name was given due to the fact that the lineup was about nothing but force and showed no mercy during matches. The former Bulldozers once again reunite for the 2019 Kurowashiki Tournament, where they, along with several other players, form a new team titled "The Bulldozers".
