Once again, this club is rooted in a company that is part of the Toyota Group.
While it has a rich history, it has not focused heavily on strengthening its team. It has yet to win a championship at the top level.
Although it joined B1 in 2022, it is unlikely to qualify for B Premier. It's unfortunate.
Notable Japanese (Asian) Players to watch
Narito Namizato(5-8, PG, South Kent School)
He is a first-generation recipient of the scholarship program established by Takehiko Inoue, the author of the immensely popular manga "SLAM DUNK." Although he did not manage to advance to an NCAA Division 1 school, he continues to excel at the top level in Japan. However, he struggles with three-point shooting and has yet to make the national team.
Notable Foreign (Naturalized) Players to watch
Aaron Henry(6-6, F, Michigan State)
He made his first visit to Japan last season, averaging 16.6 points per game. Having taken the elite route through Ben Davis in Indianapolis and Michigan State, will he become the savior of FE this season, despite currently struggling?
