4. TokyoWesterns
TokyoWesterns is a Japanese CTF team playing CTFs intermittently. Originally our team was formed at the end of 2014 with some students of a university located on the western side of Tokyo but not limited so far, and we are welcoming more members.
Most of the members were students when we were playing CTFs actively in 2015-2019 though, the situation that they have less time to participate after getting jobs and COVID-19 not allowing travel for on-site finals made us inactive.
Recently some CTFs are back to normal operation with on-site finals. It is a good time for us to be active again.
