Little League: Kitasuna Little League
Location: Tokyo, Japan
How they got here: Japanese teams have won four LLWS titles: 1967, '68, '76 and '99, and this year's team is one game away from reaching the finals again. Kitasuna's 15-5 win against Mexico on Wednesday landed them a spot in the International finals.
