The Wolf Dogs Nagoya () are a men's volleyball team based in Inazawa, Aichi, Japan. They play in the V.Premier League.

History

The Toyota Gosei Trefuerza volleyball team was founded in 1961 by enthusiasts as a 9-player team. In 1981, they transitioned to a 6-player team and began to strengthen themselves as an in-house club. They won all their games in the 29th Industrial League in 1999 and achieved their long-awaited promotion to the V League (then V.Premier League), renaming the team "Toyota Gosei Trefuerza." In 2013, their first foreign coach, Christian Sanderson Andersson, was appointed, and he instilled a precise organizational volleyball style in the team. They placed third in the 2014/15 V.Premier League and won their first championship in the following 2015/16 season. Since then, they have grown into a powerhouse team, finishing as runners-up in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons and reaching the finals for three consecutive years.

Wolfdogs Nagoya

From the 2019–20 season, the team changed its name to Wolf Dogs Nagoya. In the most recent seasons, they placed third in the 2020/21 season and were runners-up in the 2021/22 season.
