Wheelchair Basketball - Team Japan

General
Japan were allocated a qualification spot for the 2020 Paralympic Games as hosts. They are making their eighth Paralympic appearance at Tokyo 2020, and their first since 2008.

The Japanese team won bronze medals at the Paralympic Games in 1984 and 2000. At their most recent appearance at Beijing 2008, they won all four of their group matches and then beat Great Britain in the quarterfinals. Defeat to Germany in the last four meant they had to settle for a place in the bronze medal match, which they lost 53-47 to Australia.

Japan competed at six consecutive editions of the world championship between 1994 and 2014. Their best ranking was fourth, which they achieved in both 1998 and 2002.
