That's because they play for teams

..
Like Ogura and Shiota play for Sanyo, and Shoji Sato plays for NTT East Japan, etc..

yes team name but numbers? there are only two or four players on the badminton court unlike eg. soccer or basketball or netball

On the back of the shirt in the first picture in post#88, does it say 'Gorilla'?

I hope it's my tired, old eyes playing tricks on me!

Mm, I guess it's just a way to identify players in a particular company. Like how there's an ongoing "inter-company" badminton tournament in Japan, there can be quite a handful of players representing one company. With numbers indicated on their jerseys, I reckon it's easier to recognise them.

I think I see the word "Gorilla" too. >.<
