## History

Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler was founded in 1994 by the Miyoshi Clinic of Internal Medicine and Cardiology. Originally called Miyoshi Cardiology EKG, then Miyoshi Cardiology EKG Oita, the team was named "Weisse Adler", meaning "white eagles" in German, for the characters "white eagle" (白鷲, shirawashi) in the name of the Seiun Shirawashi Association (青雲白鷲会) of the clinic. The founder, Hiroshi Miyoshi, was the director of the hospital and was also involved in the management of the team. Most of the team also worked at the hospital. It originally had nine members.
After placing first in the V1 League in the 2005–2006 season, the franchise was promoted to the V.Premier League in 2006. The team was demoted to the V.Challenge League in 2009. In 2014, it represented Japan at the 2014 Asian Men's Club Volleyball Championship in the Philippines. Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler was demoted to V.League Division 2 after losing the V.Challenge match of the 2022–23 season to Voreas Hokkaido.
In March 2024, the founder died and the club had difficulty continuing operations. The next month, the franchise announced the suspension of all activities and their withdrawal from the new V.League in late May as they were unable to find a company to transfer the team to.
