Ice hockey is a minor sport that is gaining popularity in Japan.

[1][2][3] Baseball and football (soccer) have dominated Japanese sports for decades, but ice hockey has been less popular in Japan since its founding in the 1920s.

[5] Since 1933, a cup competition, the All Japan Ice hockey Championship has been held, in which four teams compete.

It has been held annually since the 1930s and is one of the oldest sporting competitions in the country.
