TomokazuHarimoto

Tomokazu Harimoto plays table tennis in men's singles with a right-handed shakehand grip, and his patterns are built on early timing rather than pure reach. Opponents try to pin him deep, vary heavy backspin into the body and force him away from the table before he can take the ball early. Give him a half-long ball and he steps in, so the counter-plan is to keep length low and change pace. His career-high ranking of second shows the level.

Okayama Rivets is his current club in T.League, and the ITTF ranking places him fourth. He is listed under China, while his earlier team rows include Kinoshita Meister Tokyo, TTC Neu-Ulm and Ryukyu Asteeda. That mix of German and Japanese club entries makes the current T.League setting one part of a wider career.
