The Gunma Crane Thunders are a professional basketball team that compete in the first division of the Japanese B.League.[1] They are based in Ōta, Gunma. It is said that the shape of Gunma Prefecture resembles the shape of a dancing crane. The team's name is a combination of the crane and thunder, which evokes images of "energy" and "speed".[2]
