Japanese volleyball player Yuji Nishida is going viral for his sliding dogeza after he accidentally hit a judge with a serve at the SV League Volleyball All-Star game.

• Dogeza is an element of traditional Japanese etiquette which involves kneeling directly on the ground and bowing to prostrate oneself while touching one's head to the floor. It is used to show deference to a person of higher status, as a deep apology or to express the desire for a favor from said person.
