Kansai Kaisers football
The Kansai Kaisers football program represents Kansai University in college football. Kansai is a member of the Kansai Collegiate American Football League (KCAFL). History 
In 1935, Kansai Kaisers was established. They are one of the three members which established KCAFL. In 1948, they won their fist Koshien Bowl, beating Meiji University 6–0. They qualified to Koshien for two consecutive years but this time they were defeated by Keio Gijuku University 7–14. For next 6 decades, they missed Koshien Bowl as Kwansei Gakuin University dominates Kansai League. Also, rise of Ritsumeikan University and Kyoto University led the Kaisers to relegation to Div. 2 from late 1980's to early 2000's. However, the team started rising and in 2009, their hard work paid off and became a national champion for the first time in 61 years. They have been regularly a title contender after that.
