Nakagaichi was a top player for the Japanese men's national volleyball team in the 1990s.[1] Nakagaichi played at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona,[2] and he also competed at the 1998 FIVB World Championship in Japan.[3]
Coaching
Nakagaichi was the head coach of the Japanese men's national volleyball team from 2017 to 2021, leading his team as runners-up in the 2021 Asian Men's Volleyball Championship.[4][5]
Controversies
In November 2016, shortly after an announcement of becoming Japan's men's national team head coach, Nakagaichi was suspected of negligence in allegedly hitting a 41-year-old traffic guard while driving on the Chugoku Expressway in the city of Shobara, Hiroshima prefecture, on 9 November. Nakagaichi told the police that he mistakenly applied the brake of his car, causing it to skid and plow into the victim, according to police officers.[6]
In 2017, the Japan Volleyball Association was considering a temporary replacement for Nakagaichi after he stepped back from the role following this incident. The association retained him as coach under the expectation that a criminal charge would be handed down within three months.[7]
