Camp Budokan Basketball is held at the Terasaki Budokan Gymnasium, which is part of a multi-use community hub described as being filled with culture, connections, and creativity. Terasaki Budokan is a mission-driven project of Little Tokyo Service Center and has a mission to provide a facility in Downtown Los Angeles for youth, families, and seniors that offers sports, community activities, and connections to Japanese American culture and Little Tokyo. The facility hosts 15+ intergenerational programs, 27+ monthly free activities for seniors, 90k+ annual visitors, and 4k+ annual visitors for free events. One parent, Mike Mio, states, “My kids love eating at all the Japanese restaurants and playing at Budokan. It’s neat to have a gym in Little Tokyo that’s easily accessible. It feels great to have a home court for the Japanese American community.”
The Camp Budokan leadership team includes Ryan Lee, Director; Michelle Chan, Events Manager; Kim Kawasaki, Programs Manager; Amelia Wallace, Communications Manager; Cassandra Frederick, Rentals Supervisor; Jodi Alcantara, Administrative Assistant; Jacob Yagi, Programs Assistant; and Brian Frastaci, Facilities Assistant.

Additional background includes attending Chatsworth High School and playing both basketball and volleyball, majoring in Education and Multicultural Studies at UC Irvine, working in the mortgage industry, and working in a nonprofit that served at-risk youth from across the county with resources and educational opportunities.
