History

In 1935, Kansai Kaisers was established.[1] 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 team 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.
