Ka dib tartankii 2017, waxaa lagu dhawaaqay in tartanka uu ku fidin doono 10 kooxood sanadka 2019, iyadoo la ciyaaray 8 kooxood tan iyo tartankii ugu horreeyay ee 1990
, marka laga reebo 2004, 2007, 2008, iyo 2009, halkaas oo 9 kooxood ay ciyaareen. Tartanka 2004 waxaa ka soo qeyb galay 9 kooxood markii Japan laga soo qaaday Division II laakiin ma jirin koox ka baxday Division-ka ugu sareeya 2003, sababtuna waxay ahayd in la joojiyay tartanka horyaalka ugu sareeya ee Shiinaha sababo la xiriira cudurka SARS. Laba kooxood ayaa laga soo saaray Horyaalka ugu sareeya 2004, iyagoo dib ugu soo laabanaya 8 kooxood 2005, laakiin guusha ay ka soo hooyeen 9-kooxood ee 2004, IIHF waxay go'aansadeen inay mar kale u ballaariyaan 9 kooxood 2007. IIHF waxay dib ugu soo noqotay 8 kooxood tartankii 2009, ciyaartuna waxay ku sii socotay qaabkan illaa ballaarinta 2019.
