AKITA NORTHERN HAPPINETS -B.League B1 Basketball

更新日:

Akita is also located in the Tohoku region, and it's cold. But when it comes to basketball, it's on fire.

The presence of Noshiro Technical High School (now known as Noshiro Science and Technology), a legendary powerhouse in high school basketball featured in the globally renowned manga Slam Dunk, is significant.

What Northern Happinets RepresentsThe name was chosen from 3,117 public submissions, with the hope that everyone can share happiness. The word "Northern" was combined with "Happinets" to form "Northern Happinets," inspired by Akita's rugby team, the Akita Northern Bullets Rugby Football Club.

Akita originally participated in the bj League. While Akita Prefecture doesn’t have a large city like Sendai, the fans are passionate, giving it a vibe similar to the state of Indiana.

Happinets is the first team that current Chiba Jets star Yuki Togashi joined.

Traditionally, it’s a defense-oriented team.

   

Population: Akita City has about 300,000 people, and Akita Prefecture has around 900,000.
