Are there really American football teams in Japan?

I think she is asking for the names of American-rules football teams in Japan.

What is referred to as "Football" in the US is called "American Football" in Japan, as the term "football" refers to soccer pretty much everywhere else.

There are a number of "American Football" teams in Japan, but it isn`t really mainstream. Unfortunately I don`t really have an interest so can`t help the poster.

American Football is not a professional sport in Japan, but they do have the X-League, which is probably what you are looking for (it has been around since 1987). They have a Bowl to end the season, though games are slightly shorter than ones played in America. There are 3 divisions.

I think the teams are represented by companies instead of cities, because they don't get paid like professional sports players. I don't follow them often but I don't think there is one strongest team over the years, maybe Impulse (Matsushita) since they have won 4 bowls. Silver Star has too, but not since 1999.
