From Japan to Italy: welcome to Yu Koshikawa  

Antonveneta Padova: The club added another important piece of the jigsaw. After Manuele Cricca, here comes Yu Koshikawa, a talented spiker and a Japanese international. Born in 1984, 190 tall, he is one of the most appreciated volleyball player of his country. He comes from Suntory Sunbirds, a team from Osaka that finished fourth last season. He made his pro debut in 2003 with this club and won the league title in 2004 and 2007.

Koshikawa will arrive in Padova as soon as his international duty is over. He is currently playing in the World league. Yesterday, he helped Japan beat Bulgaria 3-2 by scoring 17 points.
