Tosu Futures
Japanese football club
The Tosu Futures (鳥栖フューチャーズ, Tosu Futures) was a former Japanese football club that played in the Japan Football League between 1994 and 1996.
History
PJM Futures was founded in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka in 1987 as the team of PJM Japan, a company based on Paul J. Meyer's U.S. academy Success Motivation Institute (the company name came from Meyer's initials). The club was later moved to Tosu, Saga in 1994, where it changed its name to Tosu Futures. This happened one year after joining the former Japan Football League's Division 2 (which was merged into a single JFL division in 1994). Saga Stadium was used as a temporary home ground until Tosu Stadium opened in 1996. In January 1997, Tosu futures ceased operations following the withdrawal of PJM Japan and was dissolved. In February 1997, Sagan Tosu was established.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7827898. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1996, 1987 and 1997.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
