Young Yuji Nishida Was Unstoppable !!! Yuji Nishida (西田 有志, Nishida Yūji, born 30 January 2000) is a Japanese left-handed volleyball player. Currently, he plays for JTEKT Stings in V.League Division 1.

Nishida made his debut with JTEKT Stings at V.League on 6 January 2018 in a match against Osaka Blazers Sakai. His impressive debut at the young age of 17 soon earned him a position in JTEKT's Starting 6,[3] as well as Japan men's national volleyball team. Nishida also led the team finishing seventh place after 29 years, in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Nishida is one of the youngest players in the 2018 roster of the Japan men's national volleyball team and FIVB cup Final.[4] He made his first international performance with the Japanese national team in 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's Nations League. In June 2018, he played a pivotal role in securing Japan's first win in 11 years against Italy where he collected 24 points from 21 spikes and 3 aces.[5] In September 2018, in a match against Argentina in 2018 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship, Nishida became the youngest player ever to score 30 points in a match.[6] In June 2019, Nishida broke serving records in the VNL history after hitting 7 aces in a single game during a match against Canada.[7]

Nishida transferred to play for Volley Callipo in the Italian Volleyball League for the 2021–22 season.[8][9][10] He received MVP of the match awards thrice in spite of an injury and subsequent 2-month recovery. Nishida would become the highest scorer of his team, with a personal one-match record of 29 points, and held the record for the most aces in one match during the league's first round of the 2021/22 season with 8 aces.

On August 26, the Japanese team played their first match in the 2022 World Championship against Qatar where they won in three straight sets. Nishida contributed 17 points, including 4 blocks. In the next two games, Japanese team faced against Brazil and Cuba in which they lost and won, respectively.[47] With a record of 2-1, Japan placed second behind Brazil in the group stages and Japan advanced to the final round for the first time since 2006. They were matched up against France, the 2020 Olympics and the Nations League gold medallists, in the round of 16 where they eventually lost 3-2 after a tough contest. Nishida finished with a total of 31 points, the highest of all the players on both teams. The result eliminated Japan from the tournament, finishing at 12th place.

Two weeks after the 2022-23 V.League season began, Nishida came down with an unknown illness which caused him to miss three weeks at the start of the season with a continuous high fever. During this time, Nishida underwent multiple medical tests which all came back inconclusive. Nishida began to wonder "Will I able to play volleyball this year with JTEKT?" as he explained in a later announcement about his extended absence from competition. Fortunately, all the symptoms gradually disappeared and Nishida was cleared play volleyball again. After his return, Nishida was able to lead his team to win the 2022 Emperor's Cup title in three straight sets against JT Thunders Hiroshima.
