But what about FIRST teams?

To my knowledge there has never been an FRC team in Japan.

There are a lot of FLL teams; they hosted a championship invitational (like the LegoLand or European events).

I don't know about FTC.

Japan VEX has been around a few years.

I am fairly certain FRC has not started in Asia.
We have had European , south american , Australia but not from ASIA

Well, Israel is usually considered Asia, and we have more FRC teams than all the other non-North American locations together (48 Israeli FRC teams this year), so I wouldn't say there is no Asia.
