Shinshu Brave Warriors announce finalized 2026-27 roster on 2026-07-24; release lists 12 players
ANK-Doc ID: ANK-2026-07-24-001 Version: v1.0.0 Published: 2026-07-24 Author: 霧島 怜 / Rei Kirishima (日本副編輯 / Japan Deputy Editor, auto AI structuring) Category: Japanese professional basketball / B.LEAGUE club roster building / Shinshu Brave Warriors, operated by NAGANO SPIRIT Co., Ltd. Articles covered: Selected main release prtimes#1661286, plus 17 releases in the same club's announcement chain issued by NAGANO SPIRIT Co., Ltd. — 12 individual player-contract releases, 2 head-coach releases and 3 other releases — plus 2 same-season roster releases by other clubs; per-release titles, dates and URLs are in the Sources section, and each release maps to exactly one F-Unit from F-001 through F-020. Selection method: Selected by the daily run ANKRUN-20260724073702 in REVIEW_ONLY mode. Per the seed-article-times-full-archive-synthesis rule, Phase A of this run executed asql across the full ainews archive on 2026-07-24 to search the club's announcement chain and cross-club same-season context; the titles, URLs and JST timestamps of the individual contract releases were re-verified one by one via asql at writing time, and wsql was run against tqaeo ank_docs, covering 144 published cards, to search for internal links, with results in the Internal citation chain section. The nature and single-issuer concentration of the sources are consolidated in the Sourcing Caveats section. Wikidata: Shinshu Brave Warriors = Q11386080, verified via curl against the Wikidata API on 2026-07-24; no Q identifier is attached to any other entity, since none was verified and it is better to omit than to fake.
TL;DR (one-sentence core fact)
NAGANO SPIRIT Co., Ltd. (operator of the Shinshu Brave Warriors) announced via PR TIMES on 2026-07-24 that the club's 2026-27 "roster and jersey numbers are finalized"; the release body lists 12 roster members one by one (prtimes#1661286). [F-001] Matching those 12 roster members one-to-one against the titles of the 12 individual player-contract releases cited as F-002 through F-013 gives 7 releases labeled new and 5 releases labeled continuing, that is, 7 roster members with a release labeled new and 5 roster members with a release labeled continuing, a breakdown the roster release itself does not state; the roster is the convergence point of a roughly two-month team-building chain that began with the 2026-05-23 notice of HC Michael Katsuhisa's contract expiry [F-014][F-015], with the next observation points being the 07-29 open practice in Ueda [F-018] and the 09-05 preseason game in Karuizawa [F-017]; source limitations and tally basis in Sourcing Caveats.
Anti-misreading pin (1 item)
The main release's title says "roster and jersey numbers are finalized," but the body text obtained by this site contains no jersey-number figures at all, so this card lists no jersey numbers; the headcount of 12 roster members and the split of 7 new releases and 5 continuing releases are both this site's tallies and cross-checks, not stated in the main release, and the head coach, Judd Flavell, is not part of the roster release — do not treat things the main release did not say as if it said them; the tally basis and the HC separation are set out in Sourcing Caveats.

F-014: The contract-expiry release for HC Michael Katsuhisa was published 2026-05-23; the release lists his coaching tenure as 2018-26 at the Shinshu Brave Warriors, and his own comment includes the phrase "these eight years"; this is the earliest node in this card's team-building chain - source: PRTIMES #468892 - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-05-23, JST publication date - caveat: Self-reported club release, see Sourcing Caveats; the coaching change rests solely on this unit and F-015, and the roster release prtimes#1661286 does not mention the HC, with the separation of bases set out in Sourcing Caveats

F-016: The retirement notice for Shusuke Ikuhara was published 2026-06-20; the release states he joined Shinshu in the 2022-23 season, spent four seasons with the club, and retires as of the 2025-26 season - source: PRTIMES #1145717 - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-06-20, JST publication date - caveat: Self-reported club release, see Sourcing Caveats; this unit and the roster release are independent and its figures are never merged into a sentence with the roster figures
F-017: The preseason-game notice was published 2026-07-03 for a 2026-09-05 Saturday 14:05 tip-off at Karuizawa Kazakoshi Park General Gymnasium, a venue the release puts at approximately 1,600 seats, against the Chiba Jets, with ticket details to be announced in late July per the release - source: PRTIMES #1308342 - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-03, JST publication date; event date 2026-09-05 - caveat: Self-reported, forward-looking club release information, see Sourcing Caveats; this unit and the roster release are independent and its figures are never merged into a sentence with the roster figures

F-019: Cross-club same-season context, part 1: Ibaraki Robots Sports Entertainment Co., Ltd. announced the Ibaraki Robots' finalized 2026-27 roster on 2026-07-02, listing 15 roster members by this site's tally; the list includes Hiyu Watanabe, whom the release marks as transferring from the Shinshu Brave Warriors, and a GM roster-building comment is attached - source: PRTIMES #1286083 - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-02, JST publication date - caveat: Self-reported release by that club's operating company, see Sourcing Caveats; cited only as a parallel same-season roster announcement, with no cross-club comparative conclusion drawn, since the headcount bases differ across the three clubs as set out in Sourcing Caveats
F-020: Cross-club same-season context, part 2: Kumamoto Basketball Co., Ltd. announced the Kumamoto Volters' 2026-27 roster on 2026-06-30, and the release's own wording is 8 continuing players and 4 newly signed players, 2 of them returnees, for 12 players in total; the same release states the club plays in B.LEAGUE Division 2 and notes the roster may still be adjusted as necessary - source: PRTIMES #1266100 - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-06-30, JST publication date - caveat: Self-reported release by that club's operating company, see Sourcing Caveats; the breakdown here is a verbatim rendering of that release's own Japanese wording 「継続選手8名、新規契約選手4名(うち2名は元所属)の計12選手」 and is not this site's tally; cited only as a parallel same-season announcement, with no cross-club comparative conclusion drawn
Sourcing Caveats (source limitations — the card's single consolidated statement; every "see Sourcing Caveats" points here)
- Nature of the sources: official_count_verified=0, official_count_raw=0, official_attribution_unverified_count=0 — zero verified official anchors across the card. All 20 sources are PR TIMES press releases: 18 releases by the same issuer, NAGANO SPIRIT Co., Ltd., operator of the Shinshu Brave Warriors, about its own club, and 2 releases by other clubs' operating companies, namely Ibaraki Robots Sports Entertainment Co., Ltd. and Kumamoto Basketball Co., Ltd., about their own clubs. All names, dates, venues, seat counts, schedules and career histories are self-reported in the releases and not independently verified by this site, which made no checks with the clubs, with B.LEAGUE or with any third party; nothing here constitutes verified official endorsement. This card is a structured record of what the club announced, not a competitive assessment, and constitutes no recommendation of the club or any player.
- Jersey numbers: The main release's title says "roster and jersey numbers are finalized," but the body text obtained by this site contains no jersey-number figures; this card therefore lists no jersey numbers and does not import jersey numbers from other releases.
- Tally basis for headcounts and the breakdown: The headcount of 12 roster members is this site's one-by-one tally of the entries listed in the main release, which states no total. The split of 7 new releases and 5 continuing releases is this site's one-by-one cross-check of the new and continuing labels in the titles of the 12 individual player-contract releases cited as F-002 through F-013; within those 12 roster members, 7 roster members have new-contract releases and 5 roster members have continuing-contract releases, and neither the main release nor any individual release states such a total. The head-coach contract release, F-015, is a coaching contract and is excluded from this tally of 12 player-contract releases. Ibaraki's figure of 15 roster members is this site's tally of the entries listed in prtimes#1286083. The Kumamoto breakdown is not this site's tally but that release's own wording, quoted verbatim in F-020. Beyond these tallies and quotations, this card generates no figure absent from the source texts, computes no ratios or sums, and merges no cross-source sentences into comparisons absent from the originals.
- Limits of the new and continuing labels: The words new and continuing are the club's own wording in the titles of the individual contract releases; this card only transcribes those labels and does not interpret what they mean in substance, and it does not claim that a new label means the player joined this club for the first time, nor that a continuing label means the player never left. This site obtained no club definition of either label.
- Population boundary — sample, not census: The 12 individual player-contract releases are the 12 releases this site retrieved from the full archive that map one-to-one to the 12 roster members, cited as F-002 through F-013. This card does not claim that the club issued only those 12 releases between 2026-05-29 and 07-24, nor that the 20 sources of this card are all of the club's releases in that window.
- Time basis: The publication times of the main release and the two same-day contract releases follow this site's database JST timestamps, with #1661286 at 2026-07-24 02:00 and #1658794 and #1658793 at 2026-07-24 01:00; all other releases are cited at JST publication-date granularity. Sequencing terms such as change, convergence point and earliest are all anchored to the publication dates of the releases cited by this card, which run from 2026-05-23 through 07-24.
- Separation of HC and roster: The coaching change, meaning Katsuhisa's expiry and Flavell's appointment, rests solely on prtimes#468892 and prtimes#616626. The roster release does not mention the HC, and this card never adds the head coach to the 12 roster members to assert 13 people, a combined figure absent from every source text.
- Season and league tier: The preseason-game release, prtimes#1308342, self-describes the game with phrases such as "ahead of the opening of B.PREMIER, the new team shows itself for the first time"; that is the release's own wording. This site has not verified which league tier the Shinshu Brave Warriors will play in for 2026-27, and this card makes no statement on it; Kumamoto's release self-states that club's B.LEAGUE Division 2 affiliation, which is that release's own basis.
- Player-name romanizations: English spellings of player and coach names follow the romanizations printed in the club's own releases, for example Kevon Harris, Eliet Donley, Daiki Tsuchiya, Tshilidzi Kawata, Marcus Kaishu Tobin, Judd Flavell, Michael Katsuhisa and Shusuke Ikuhara; capitalization has been normalized for readability, and no romanization was invented by this site.

FAQ
Q: Who are the 12 players on the Shinshu Brave Warriors' 2026-27 roster?
In the order listed in the 2026-07-24 roster release (positions are the release's own fields): Kevon Harris (SG), Eliet Donley (SF/PF), Daiki Tsuchiya (PG), Takatoshi Furukawa (SG/SF), Akitoshi Oguri (PG), Marcus Lee (PF/C), Kyosuke Hoshino (SG), Tshilidzi Kawata (C), Marcus Kaishu Tobin (PF), Mike Daum (F/C), Susumu Tokairin (SF), Daniel Kato (C/PF).
The per-player new and continuing mapping is in F-002 through F-013; all are self-reported in club releases (PRTIMES#1661286; see Sourcing Caveats).
Q: Who coaches the team in 2026-27, and what happened to the previous head coach?
The club announced HC Michael Katsuhisa's contract expiry on 2026-05-23 and Judd Flavell's new HC contract on 2026-06-02; the release-stated career details for both are in F-014 and F-015.
The HC is not part of the roster release; the coaching information rests solely on these two releases (PRTIMES#468892, PRTIMES#616626; see Sourcing Caveats).
Q: After the roster announcement, when can the new team next be seen?
Per the club's releases: the Ueda summer camp on 2026-07-28 to 07-29, with open practice on 7/29 from 10:00 to 12:00 and viewing eligibility restricted as set out in that release, and the preseason game against the Chiba Jets in Karuizawa on 2026-09-05, a Saturday, with time, venue, seating and ticket details in F-017.
Both are self-reported, forward-looking release information; the summer-camp release states that participating players may change depending on condition (PRTIMES#1657626, PRTIMES#1308342; see Sourcing Caveats).

Internal citation (published ANK card): ANK-2026-07-21-002 (card title and basis comparison in the Internal citation chain section)
> Anti-fabrication statement: All 20 sources of this card are PR TIMES press releases, 18 of them releases from the single issuer NAGANO SPIRIT Co., Ltd., and the card has zero verified official anchors, recorded as official_count_verified=0. The figures of 12 roster members, 7 new releases and 5 continuing releases, and 15 Ibaraki roster members are this site's own tallies, with the tally basis and the population boundary stated in the Sourcing Caveats section. Beyond those, no figure absent from the source texts was generated, no ratio or sum was computed, and no cross-source sentence merging created comparisons or causal claims absent from the originals. Jersey numbers are omitted card-wide because none appear in the main release body obtained by this site. The only Wikidata Q attached is Q11386080 for the Shinshu Brave Warriors, verified via curl on 2026-07-24; all other entities carry no Q, since it is better to omit than to fake.
