Japan's Kento Momota is the Numero Uno seed at the Tokyo Olympics

Japan is slowly but steadily growing as a badminton powerhouse and to that effect, World No. 1 Kento Momota will make his debut at the Tokyo Olympics in sure-shot hopes of winning a medal on home turf. 

He will have to be wary of Denmark's Viktor Axelsen however, who was a bronze medallist at the 2016 Rio Games.
