Orix Buffaloes Baseball Team in Japan

The Orix Buffaloes (オリックス・バファローズ, Orikkusu Bafarozu) are a Nippon Professional Baseball team playing in the Pacific League, under ownership by Orix (a financial services company founded in Osaka). The team was formerly called the BlueWave, and in 2005 changed their name to the Buffaloes.

The Orix Buffaloes are a team that has produced players that have gone on to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States, including Ichiro Suzuki (who played for the Seattle Mariners).

The Buffaloes split home games between Kyocera Dome in Nishi-ku, Osaka, and Kobe Sports Park Baseball Stadium in Kobe City. When the Hanshin Tigers are playing at Kyocera Dome in Osaka, the Buffaloes play at Kobe Sports Park Baseball Stadium.

The Orix Buffaloes are One of Two Baseball Teams in Osaka, Japan

The Buffaloes play home games in both Osaka and Kobe, so you can think of them as a Kansai team (Kansai is the region that includes both Osaka prefecture and Hyogo prefecture).

There is another professional baseball team in Osaka and Hyogo, called Hanshin Tigers, playing in the Central League. It seems true that the Hanshin Tigers are more popular than the Buffaloes.
