Sagan Tosu won their first J. League first-division game since March 31, beating Shimizu S-Pulse 3-1 on Sunday.
Riki Harakawa, Yuji Ono and An Yong-woo scored for Sagan, who moved off the bottom of the J1 table with the win at rain-soaked Best Amenity Stadium.
Harakawa opened the scoring from the penalty spot after S-Pulse's Yosuke Kawai was called for a handball.
