The Shinshu Brave Warriors (信州ブレイブウォリアーズ, Shinshū Bureibuuoriāzu) are a Japanese professional basketball team based in Nagano, Japan.[1] The Brave Warriors compete in the second division of the B.League as a member of the Eastern Conference.[2] The team's name refers to the traditional name for Nagano Prefecture, Shinshu, and the region's history of "warriors," such as those of the Sanada clan, the Togakushi Ninja, Kiso Yoshinaka, and the Battles of Kawanakajima.[1]
The team logo uses three colours; blue (called Warrior Blue), silver (called Japan Alps Silver) and yellow (called Obasute Moon Yellow). It shows the full name of the team with a depiction of the Japanese Alps mountain range (which runs through Nagano) and a basketball shown as a moon coming over the mountains.
Mascot
The team mascot is a bear like creature called "Burea". When pronounced sound like blair or blayer. It probably comes from a combination of Brave and Warriors; Bra-ior. Japanese tend to pronounce the -er as a long a when using English words. His design includes white for the winter snow, crescent moons for eyes and an apple for the nose (Nagano is known for its apples).[3]
