In its past 11 Summer Olympic appearances, dating back to the 1964 Tokyo Games, Japan has collected 275 medals.
Here's the overall breakdown: 99 gold, 74 silver and 97 bronze.
It averages out to a little less than 25 medals per Olympics and nine first-place medals. This does not include the 1980 Moscow Games, when Japan, like the United States, boycotted the Olympics after the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.
