It was none other than the captain of the Japanese team - Mayu Ishikawa. At the age of 25, she has reached the peak of her career, and the recent 3-2 victory over the Netherlands clearly showed the talent of the 1m74 tall girl.

Playing as an OH, Ishikawa was not the top scorer in the match. She scored 25 points, 2 points less than her teammate Wada.

But Ishikawa is definitely the most complete offensive and defensive player. In addition to his attacking plays, Ishikawa made 24 saves in this match, on par with the team's best defensive players like Seki and Kojima.

With this score, Ishikawa surpassed Sweden's Isabelle Haak to become the tournament's top scorer - 98 points.

She even scored more points than Egonu (96 points) - who is considered the best volleyball player in the world , with a height of 1m93.

But Ishikawa’s specialness doesn’t stop there. No other star attacker who scores regularly is also one of the top savers in the league like the Japanese girl.

Similar to the win over the Netherlands, Ishikawa has been comprehensive in attack and defense in every match of the tournament, and has so far successfully saved the ball 59 times in 5 matches, entering the top 4 best defenders.

Ishikawa was even the best first-pass receiver in the tournament, with 56 successful receivers. There were so many stats that Ishikawa was the best player at the Women's Volleyball World Championship.

Not only talented, Ishikawa is also a symbol of Japanese school sports . She shone when she was only 12-13 years old, from high school tournaments, and at 19 years old, she pursued the path of a professional athlete.

Ishikawa is currently playing for the powerful Italian club Igor Novara. Volleyball fans around the world are hoping that Ishikawa will continue to lead his team to the finals - to face the strongest Italian team in the world.

Japan's semi-final opponent will be the winner of the USA-Türkiye match. Italy also made it to the semi-finals from the opposite bracket, after easily beating Poland 3-0.
