Founding History In December 2004, the group began activities with the goal of establishing a professional basketball team in Tochigi Prefecture. Then in December 2005, they collected 15,000 signatures to support the establishment of the team. In June 2006, the group formally applied to join the now JBL, but was rejected a month later, and applied in September of the same year to the newly established lower league, currently the JBL2. In April 2007, the team was able to participate in the JBL2 after the
Otsuka Shokai Alphas (now Koshigaya Alphas) withdrew. In June 2007, the team name was decided to be "Tochigi Brex," and the team launched with Utsunomiya City set as their hometown, as well as 10 professional players on contract.
JBL2 The former coach of the Otsuka Shokai Alphas, Yoshinori Kaneda, became the Brex's first head coach, and in the 2007-2008 season, they advanced to the finals and defeated the
Chiba Jets Funabashi to become JBL2 champions.
JBL 2008-2009 Season When, in August 2007, the
OSG Phoenix (now San-en NeoPhoenix) withdrew from the JBL, the league began recruiting new teams and the Brex formally applied once again for entry into the JBL. Brex went on to win their third B.League championship. Brex guard
D.J. Newbill was instrumental for the team, winning the league's MVP and FInals MVP awards. As champions, they qualified for the
Basketball Champions League Asia, where they made their debut. On June 13, 2025, Brex won their first-ever BCL Asia championship, after defeating the record champions
Al Riyadi in the final in
Dubai.
