The Japan men's national soccer team is rightly regarded as one of Asia's most successful teams.
Since making their FIFA World Cup debut in 1998, Japan have qualified for every tournament since. Their teams are generally identifiable for their discipline, work rate, team ethic and technical skill. Hidetoshi Nakata and Keisuke Honda are among the most recognisable stars the country has produced in bygone years. Today, players like Takefusa Kubo and Kaoru Mitoma continue to showcase their talents in European soccer's top leagues.
To catch the Samurai Blue in their next upcoming live soccer games here in the United States, GOAL brings you the lowdown on everything you need to know.
