The Nishinomiya Storks built the foundation of their team around a slogan that hearkens back to another time.

"Determination action" lumped together is their slogan. Separately, each word is about the act of doing something. Combined together, the words sum up what first-year bench boss Kensaku Tennichi realized the team's identity needed to become.

Considering it an inspirational phrase, Tennichi gleaned it from a former Panasonic Super Kangaroos teammate, George Puou, from the early 1990s in the old JBL.
