There has never been native Japanese player who participates in a tournament of men's NCAA of division 1.
March Madness held each spring. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) tournament starts today. Basketball fan-in-chief President Barack Obama are attending a "First Four" matchup in Dayton, Ohio, between Mississippi Valley State and Western Kentucky on Tuesday night. "Final Four" hold on March 31 and April 2 in New Orleans, LA.

March Madness indicates the enthusiasm of the final few weeks of the college basketball tournament in the United States that includes many major schools.There are 64 teams in the tournament.
