Japan at the 2008 Summer Olympics

Japan will compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The delegation of athletes and officials will be represented by the Japanese Olympic Committee.

The present list of qualified entries for Japan are shown. In some cases, the country has qualified for a position in the Olympic Games, and the individual performance in the qualifying event was good enough to guarantee the same person a spot on Japan's team. In other cases, the Japan Olympic Committee may assign a competitor at a later date to fill some of the country's qualified positions, and the Olympic competitor may or may not be the same as the one who participated in the qualifying competition.

Japan qualified four archers (two men and two women) through the 2007 World Outdoor Target Championships individual competitions, and added a third women's qualification spot at the Asian Championships. This allows Japan to compete in the women's team competition at the Olympics, as well as having three women and two men compete in the individual competitions.

Takaharu Furukawa, Ryuichi Moriya, Nami Hayakawa, Sayoko Kitabatake, and Yuki Hayashi were the archers who earned the qualification spots for Japan. Japan has not yet announced its final selections for the Olympic team.

Japan has not yet won an Olympic gold medal in archery; its best results are a pair of silver medals, including Hiroshi Yamamoto's in the 2004 men's individual competition.
