Why is Japan called the Blue Warrior?
Japan is called the blue warrior because the main color of the Japanese national football team jersey is blue.

Samurai culture is one of the important representatives of Japanese culture, and it is also the root of Japanese worship of the strong. The Japanese advocate the spirit of Bushido, so they are called blue warriors by fans.

Japan is located in the northwest of the Pacific Ocean and consists of thousands of islands, many of which extend in an arc. As one of the best strong teams in Asia, deep blue has been the theme color of Japanese team since 1930s. Japan's positioning of its own football is the same as its own country, leaving Asia and entering Europe. With the spirit of a craftsman, the Blue Knight concentrates on playing football. In just a few decades, he achieved "from scratch, against the wind."

Generally speaking, since the Japanese national team changed its uniform to blue, its performance has gone up at once, from a second-rate team in Asia to a first-class team. Now Japanese football has become the absolute number one team in Asia, claiming to be the second in Asia, and no one dares to say the first. It seems that blue really brings good luck to Japanese football.
