Sora Matsushima  is currently not playing in Paris Olympics for Team Japan.

The top 5 Japanese players today in ITTF rankings are

 

#9 Tomokazu Harimoto 

#16 Shunsuke Togami

# 26 Sora Matsushima 

# 34 Maharu Yoshimura

#42 Sora Matsushima 

 

So they are currently playing #1, #2 and #5 table tennis players.

Only 3 players ( plus 1 reserve) can play at the Olympics table tennis event. Japan probably have their own national qualifier or point system to determine which table tennis players can play at the Olympics. Sora Matsushima is only 17 years old.
