History
In 1999, the three junior high schools (Kawauchi, Jinego, and Hitane) merged to form Chōkai Junior High School.
Over the years the population has decreased, which led to the junior high school merger, and this explains some of the sports at Chōkai JHS. For girls sports, Jinego specialized in table tennis, Hitane specialized in tennis, and Kawauchi specialized in both volleyball and table tennis. So when Chōkai JHS was created, these are the sports that were chosen. Basketball was not played in any of the old elementary schools, though — the basketball club started with Chōkai JHS.
