During the 1996 Asian Cup and in the 1998 World Cup, the national team kits were blue jerseys with red and white flame designs on the sleeves, and were designed by JFA (with the sponsor alternating each year between Asics, Puma, and Adidas).

But compared to the latest two wins, 1985 in the World Cup qualifiers and 1995 in penalties at the predecessor of the East Asian Cup, it was only a friendly game and hence of considerably less historical weight. In the aftermath of Wednesday's fixture, people online have taken matters into their own hands - demonstrating how a ball can still be in play, even when some camera angles suggest otherwise.Japan made its first appearance in the Asian Cup in 1988, where they were eliminated in the group stage following a draw with Iran and losses to South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The mascots are "Karappe" ( カラッペ) and "Karara" ( カララ), two Yatagarasu wearing the Japan national football team kit.

However, they subsequently exited the tournament during the round of 16, after losing 1–0 to eventual third-place finishers Turkey.

Lionel Messi finally achieves his World Cup dream as Argentina win their third crown on penalties following one of the greatest finals in the tournament's history at Lusail Stadium. While Korea was under Japanese rule, multiple Koreans played in international competition for Japan, including Kim Yong-sik (1936–40), Kim Sung-gan (1940) and Lee Yoo-hyung (1940). That is up for debate, particularly as FIFA faced intense criticism for giving the tournament to Qatar plus concerns about its treatment of migrant workers.The crest or emblem of the national team was adopted in late 2017 as part of a larger rebranding by the Japan Football Association.
