History

The club was founded as named Yomiuri SC Ladies Beleza as women's club of Yomiuri SC (currently Tokyo Verdy) by Yomiuri Shimbun in 1981.[1] Its team name, "Beleza", is Portuguese for "beauty".[1] It was a founding member of the league in 1989 and is the only Japanese women's club to have never been relegated. In 1999, the club was transferred to Nippon TV[2] and the club name was changed to NTV Beleza. In 2000, the team name was changed to Nippon TV Beleza.[1] In September 2009, Nippon TV withdrew from management.[3] However the club name remains Nippon TV Beleza, because the club signed a new contract of naming rights with Nippon TV.[4]

Nippon TV Menina
