I think the initial question is somewhat misleading. It is not so much about dominating team sports, as in competing against other countries, but about the presence and eminence of team oriented sports in one's own country. In the US, those would be 'football', basketball, and baseball. For Britain and Australia, for example, it would be 'football' or soccer and rugby. Do note that I quoted 'football'. For Japan the most prominent would be baseball and Japanese players have made the professional circuits in the US.
I agree with you here.
Although Japan along with South Korea has played in successive soccer world cups and played well.Thats a huge success for an east asian team considering the sport in Asia was dominated by Gulf countries.
