If I spent enough time I'm sure I could come up with a few Brits who are "good enough" to race in Japan (McLean at the very least and for two seasons), some 'Merricans (didn't Nothstein race the Keirin circuit?) and maybe Canadian Harnett was there too. Plus there were probably a few Euros.
One resource says there are eight foreigners invited each year.
