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]
