Hiroshima Dragonflyz: The Journey and Growth of Hiroshima’s Professional Basketball Club

The Hiroshima Dragonflies of the B.League have officially renewed their partnership agreement with Nihon M&A Center Holdings, extending a corporate relationship that dates back to the professional basketball club’s foundational business restructuring in 2018.

Securing Corporate Backing in the Top Tier

According to official club announcements, the renewed collaboration secures ongoing corporate backing for the Hiroshima-based franchise as it competes in Japan’s top-tier professional basketball division. Financial terms of the renewed agreement were not publicly disclosed, aligning with corporate partnership standards across the league.

Roots in the 2018 Structural Overhaul

For Hiroshima, the continuation of the alliance with the Tokyo-headquartered corporate advisory firm reinforces a long-standing operational tie. In 2018, Nihon M&A Center acted as the intermediary facilitator for an M&A transaction that brought new ownership and structural stability to the club, helping secure its financial foundation in Hiroshima Prefecture.

Building a Fan Base at Hiroshima Sun Plaza

Founded in 2013, the Dragonflies represent Hiroshima City in the B.League, playing their home fixtures at the Hiroshima Sun Plaza. The club has steadily developed its competitive standing and commercial infrastructure since the 2018 ownership transition, building a localized fan base across the Chugoku region.

Corporate Strategy in Western Japan

Nihon M&A Center, established in 1991, specializes in business succession and corporate brokerage services across Japan. The firm’s ongoing support of the Dragonflies highlights a continuing corporate strategy of regional sports sponsorship and community revitalization in western Japan.

Upcoming B.League Campaign and Activation Plans

The Dragonflies are scheduled to continue their regular-season B.League campaign with upcoming fixtures on the domestic calendar. Club officials have indicated that activation details for the renewed partnership will be rolled out across home games at Hiroshima Sun Plaza in the coming weeks.
