“クワイエットタイフーン”とは、日本のデフ（Deaf…聴こえない、聴こえにくい人たち）選手で構成されるラグビーチームの愛称です。
1995年に行われた、初めての全国合宿は、当時戦後最大の台風襲来という不運に見舞われ、開催が危ぶまれました。当時は携帯電話も普及しておらず、予定の変更はFAXでしか伝えられない環境。警報発令によりグラウンド使用が不許可になるなど刻々と変わる中で、参加者全員で力を合わせ、全メニューはこなせなかったものの、初めてデフラグビーとしての活動を行えました。
台風襲来での困難さと、その中で達成した喜びを忘れないようにつけた名前…それが“クワイエットタイフーン”なのです。
2019年の香港、2024年のフィジー遠征でも、大きな台風に襲来されましたが、両遠征とも奇跡的な天候回復で試合を敢行し、ギリギリのスケジュールでしたが無事帰国出来ました。
また、2002年8月のIDRO主催のデフラグビー世界選手権では、セブンズ部門で準優勝、2018年第一回ワールドデフセブンズでも存在感を示している我々は、世界のデフラグビーにおいて“台風の目”として頑張っていきたいと思います 

“Quiet Typhoon” is the nickname of a rugby team made up of Japanese deflagration rugby players.
Their first national training camp was held in 1995. Unfortunately, the largest typhoon since the war struck, and it was uncertain whether the camp could even take place. At the time, cell phones were not yet widespread, and the only way to communicate schedule changes was via fax. Although warnings were issued and the field became unusable, all participants worked together to overcome the difficulties and successfully carried out their first activities as a Deaf rugby team.
The name “Quiet Typhoon” was chosen so that they would never forget the hardships caused by the typhoon and the joy of achieving their first-ever activities.
During their expeditions to Hong Kong in 2019 and Fiji in 2024, they were also hit by major typhoons, but in both cases, the weather miraculously cleared up, allowing the matches to be held.
In August 2002, Quiet Typhoon finished as runners-up in the Sevens division at the IDRO-hosted Deaf Rugby World Championships. They also put on an impressive performance at the first World Deaf Sevens in 2018. We intend to continue striving as the “eye of the storm” in the global Deaf rugby scene.
