History
Team Japan enjoyed some success in exhibitions and singles matches not related to the tournament itself, but failed to have any significant success in the actual tournament and were quickly eliminated.
Nosawa, Miyamoto, Ebessan, and Kamen competed in non-tournament exhibition matches after the World X Cup had ended. They disappeared from TNA after Victory Road.
The other teams in the 2004 World X-Cup Tournament were: Team Canada, Team Mexico, and the victorious Team USA.
2006
Team Japan is slated to return to TNA for the 2006 World X Cup Tournament. On the March 11, 2006 episode of TNA iMPACT! Mike Tenay said that Puma would be on Team Japan for the 2006 World X Cup Tournament.
While nothing has been confirmed, the other speculated members of Team Japan are said to be Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Black Tiger, and Tiger Mask. Oddly, the character of "Black Tiger" is and always has been that of a heel in Japan while Tiger Mask is the babyface. The characters are that of "twins" with Black Tiger being the "evil twin". They do not tag and this is considered to be an unusual decision for TNA to make.
Team Japan is heavily favored to win the 2006 World X Cup in light of TNA's talent-swap agreement with New Japan Pro Wrestling and the strength of the rumored roster. This agreement has already brought Liger and Tanahashi to TNA for one-time appearances.
Entrance Music
Team Japan's entrance music was made by Dale Oliver and was also used for Low-Ki. The song may have been title "Omori" but this has also been used as the title of "The Monster" Abyss's current theme "Down In The Catacombs".
