Levanga Hokkaido's Dwight Ramos leveled up his B.LEAGUE All-Star experience with a Budo Tour, diving into Japan’s martial arts and traditions.
Side quests unlocked for Dwight!
Levanga Hokkaido star Dwight Ramos used the 2026 B.LEAGUE All-Star Weekend as the perfect opportunity to level up—both on and off the court.
As part of a Budo Tour, a cultural program with other B.LEAGUE players, Ramos explored traditional Japanese martial arts like Kendo, Judo, and Karate, while also diving into lessons in philosophy, mindfulness, and perseverance.
Stepping off the hardwood, Ramos fully embraced the experience, connecting with Japan’s rich traditions while recharging for the games ahead.
One of the highlights was the Samurai Spirit Kendo Experience in Nagasaki, where Ramos joined local youth for a hands-on session in the iconic martial art.
Whether navigating the Budo Tour or perfecting his Kendo stance, Ramos soaked in every moment of the Japanese experience alongside fellow B.LEAGUE standouts.
Back on the court, Dwight Ramos nailed the clutch game-winning triple to carry the Asia All-Stars to a thrilling 30-29 victory over B2 Selected in the finale of the Asia Cross Tournament, a new format to the B.LEAGUE's mid-season showcase.
Ramos is currently averaging 12.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists for the 23-7 Levanga Hokkaido.
