About Fukui Brave Thunders
The Fukui Brave Thunders emerged in May 2022 with a clear vision: to liven up the Fukui area via basketball. Their name signifies the aim to generate a positive influence—‘BLOW’ combined with ‘WIND’—reflecting the club's desire to blow fresh air into Fukui and promote excitement through sports. In its inaugural 2023-24 season in the B3 League, the team crafted a historic record with the longest winning streak in B3 history, achieving perfection in both regular season and playoffs.
As they transition to the B2 League for the 2024-25 season, the Brave Thunders aim to maintain their successful streak, extending their home game winning record to 41 consecutively unbroken matches. The club not only seeks athletic excellence but also pursues a bigger mission: producing next-generation pride in Fukui through professional entertainment, thereby creating a substantial impact in the local community.
