Cobaltore Onagawa

Born in April 2006 and initially managed by former Japan NT member Nobuo Fujishima, the name of the club resembles the true nature of the region in Miyagi Prefecture and today Cobaltore is still one of the clubs aiming to J. League and professional football. It was founded by the local community, formed by people who wanted to stay in the city instead of leaving for Sendai or Tokyo. The club rapidly grew, climbing the Japanese football pyramid in five years.

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake was devastating both for the region and the club: Onagawa lost 1300 citizens, one tenth of the city's population, and the club's office was destroyed.{{cite web|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/analysis/cobaltore-onagawa---a-club-worth-fighting-for-256744|title=Cobaltore Onagawa - a club worth fighting for|website=FourFourTwo|access-date=5 October 2017|archive-date=15 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180715181946/https://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/analysis/cobaltore-onagawa---a-club-worth-fighting-for-256744|url-status=dead}} However, all players escaped death and many of them became the core of the club.{{cite web|url=http://www.cobaltore.com/together.html|title=女川とともに生きる - コバルトーレ女川|website=www.cobaltore.com}}

Despite the strong shock and skipping the 2011 season due to damages and the impossibility of using their own stadium, which was used as a shelter, Cobaltore players - especially the Japanese - remained in town to give a hand to the city that hosted their careers. The group of Onagawa Supporters pushed back the club into the pitch and - for 2012 season - Cobaltore returned on the field.

Thanks to Fukushima United FC going to Japan Football League, Cobaltore joined Tohoku Soccer League first division for 2013 season. From then, Cobaltore is trying to reach JFL, aiming towards pro-football. They also won the division in 2016. After repeating the title in 2017 and winning the Regional Promotion Series, they were promoted to JFL but only lasted one season before going back down.
