The Matsushima Siblings

I watched Adam Bobrow’s episode on the Matsushima siblings again. I’m always amazed at how good they were at such a young age. The video was filmed about five years ago, and it turns out they are now dominating the ITTF world rankings. As of January 30, 2026, Sora Matsushima is ranked No. 8 in the world, while Miku Matsushima is No. 1 in the U15 girls’ rankings.

Here are some quick facts about the Matsushima siblings:

1. They are all lefty
2. They all use normal (inverted) rubbers.
