Valentine’s Day in Japan’s B.LEAGUE is no longer just about roses and chocolates — it has become a celebration of charisma, connection, and fan love through the league’s annual Most Attractive Player project.
Now entering its 2026 edition, the fan-driven event highlights the personalities and off-court appeal of B.LEAGUE players, giving supporters a chance to vote for the players who resonate with them the most. This year’s project features 55 nominees, with one representative chosen from each B1, B2, and B3 club.
What makes this year different is the introduction of the International Award, a new category voted on exclusively by overseas fans. The addition signals how far the B.LEAGUE’s reach has grown, as it continues to attract attention beyond Japan and embrace its expanding global audience.

Among the nominees drawing international buzz is Dwight Ramos, who represents Levanga Hokkaido. The Gilas Pilipinas mainstay has built a strong following in Japan, not only through his steady on-court production but also through his relatability and presence off it.
Ramos has been a consistent contributor for Hokkaido in the 2025–26 season, averaging 12.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3 assists. His visibility peaked further when he recently helped lead Team Asia — a squad composed largely of Filipino players — in the league’s All-Star festivities, reinforcing his role as one of the most recognizable international faces in the competition.
As fans cast their Valentine’s votes, Ramos’ nomination reflects more than popularity. It highlights how Filipino players continue to leave a lasting imprint on the B.LEAGUE, connecting cultures and communities through the game — and, in this case, through a little Valentine’s Day charm too.
