Oriental Witches (東洋の魔女, Tōyō no Majo) is the well-known nickname of Nichibo Kaizuka, a factory volleyball team of Dai Nippon Spinning Co., Ltd. (later, Nichibo, thereafter, Unitika) in Kaizuka, Osaka given by the reports of European media when they achieved 24 consecutive victories against other national teams on the expedition to Europe.

[1] On November 27, 1953, Dai Nippon Spinning Co., Ltd. (later, Unitika) determined to establish the women's volleyball team at its factory in Kaizuka, Osaka.

At the time of establishment, the team which consisted mostly of fresh graduates could shine only in small tournaments but could barely come 8th place in the national competitions.

Then European media recognised its achievement, reporting on the team as worldwide heroines and gave Nichibo Kaizuka the nickname "Oriental Witches".

[1] In 1962 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship, how competitive Japan's national team, which was composed of all Nichibo Kaizuka players but two[4] and already feared as the "Oriental Witches", could be against Soviet Union was in focus.

[5] The team leader Masae Kasai made up her mind as they had two years left until the 1964 Tokyo Olympics; with just the phrase "Follow me" by Daimatsu, the members of Oriental Witches decided to continue to play.
