https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1148011/japan-korea-student-baseball-controversy Kyoto Kokusai won the Summer Koshien, Japan's annual high-school baseball tournament. It's the first time a Kyoto school has won since the 1950's.

Kyoto Kokusai is also a school founded in 1947 to cater to *Korean* students and, while they are now predominantly Japanese students, to this day it carries a Korean school fight song.

Given Japan and Korea's mutual history, this has resulted in Discourse and Takes.
