The Fukushima Firebonds (福島ファイヤーボンズ (Fukushima Faiyābonzu)) are a professional basketball team that compete in the second division of the Japanese B.League.
History
In May 2013 Fukushima Prefecture was announced as the successful bidder for an expansion franchise to enter the 2014-15 season of the bj-league. The league management included the region's recovery from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the long-term feasibility of the bidding company, Fukushima Sports Entertainment, as reasons for the successful bid.
In June 2014, the team announced Hiroki Fujita as the inaugural head coach.
As an expansion team, the Firebonds received the first pick in the 2014-15 rookie draft, selecting forward Shota Kanno, a Fukushima Prefecture native. Takumi Masuko was selected in the second round. In July 2014 the team signed American players James Hughes and Nick Thompson as their two foreign players.
2014-15 season
The team commenced play in the bj-league in October 2014 and had their first regular-season win in a match against the Aomori Wat's on 5 October 2015. The team finished the season with a 21-31 record, securing a playoff berth in the second-last game of the regular season. They were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs 0-2 by the Iwate Big Bulls.
2015-16 season
During the off-season, the team renewed the contract of Fujita as head coach and signed Le'Bryan Nash, Joseph Taylor and Stephan Van Treese as import players. Masaya Karimata was named team captain and Kenya Tomori was named vice-captain.
Fire Bonds spelar sina hemmamatcher i Fukushima City Gymnasium. Lagets färger är rött, svart och vitt. Lagets maskot är en röd räv som heter Fossy.
Fire Bonds har ännu inte vunnit något mästerskap, men de har varit i finalen i Emperor's Cup 2019. Laget leds av huvudtränaren Yuji Nakamura. Bland lagets nyckelspelare finns Takumi Ishizaki, Yudai Baba och Robert Carter, Jr.
Fire Bonds är ett populärt lag i Fukushima-området och har ett starkt följe av fans. Laget är också aktivt i samhället och håller basketkliniker för barn och samarbetar med lokala företag.
