Tokyo, Japan, June 04, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Evolution Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based investment management advisor, today announced that its subsidiary is acquiring the operating company of the Tokyo Apache basketball team in Japan’s professional basketball league, the “bj-league.”

“This opportunity to work together with the Apache team and fans is very promising,” said Conor Neu, the newly appointed General Manager of the Tokyo Apache. “We are excited to take on a successful team in a rapidly growing league and intend to maintain its reputation as a first class franchise.”
