Toshiba Kawasaki Brave Thunders → Kawasaki Brave Thunders – Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. Do not sign this.

Toshiba Kawasaki Brave Thunders → Kawasaki Brave Thunders – Ntsctalk has asked me to reopen this request, so I am following up based on the comments at User talk:Dekimasu and adding a bit of my own commentary. At the end of the 2017–18 B.League season, ownership of this team transferred from Toshiba to DeNA. This is reflected in secondary sources such as these: DeNA to assume ownership of Brave Thunders from Toshiba, Brave Thunders facing up to future without parent company Toshiba. Sources in Japanese give similar reports. While I don't think it would be appropriate to add "DeNA" to the name, since it is not clear that appending "DeNA" has become common, I do agree that removing "Toshiba" is reasonable–the Kawasaki Brave Thunders name recognizably and unambiguously refers to both incarnations of the team.
