The Japan Basketball Association announced the 12-player roster for the women's national team for the Tokyo Olympics on Thursday.
Veteran center Maki Takada, small forward Yuki Miyazawa and point guard Rui Machida headline the squad, which will compete in its second straight Summer Games. Japan head coach Tom Hovasse also selected forward Moeko Nagaoka and guard Naho Miyoshi to add more experience to the squad.
Those five players were all on the Japan team that reached the quarterfinals at the 2016 Rio Games.
