Tokyo Great Bears announced today that player Yudai Minemura will be leaving the team due to the expiration of his contract. Minemura joined Tokyo Great Bears from the preseason match held in Taiwan in September 2025 (Note: this date appears to be a typo for a past year, e.g., 2023 or 2024). Although his tenure was short, he contributed to the team with stable play in both offense and defense, and excellent leadership. We sincerely thank Minemura for all his support and encouragement. His new team has already been decided, and details are scheduled to be announced later by the new club. Minemura commented, "Although it was a short period of one season, I had a valuable experience, and I deeply thank the team and all the Lil Bears for warmly welcoming me."
