Nihon Tengus are heading to China
This August, Nihon Tengus will compete in The Asian Tournament (TAT) in Chengdu, China, taking the next step in our journey beyond Japan. TAT brings together elite teams and players from across Asia and beyond, creating a stage where different basketball cultures, styles and pathways meet in competition. For the Tengus, this is more than an international tournament—it is an opportunity to represent Japan, test ourselves against high-level competition, and continue building our identity on the Asian basketball stage. Chengdu is the next chapter.
