The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others Tabuse won Japanese B League championship title in 2017. He was selected to Japanese B League All-Star Game in 2017. Tabuse was also a member of Japanese international program for some years. He played for Japanese Senior National Team between 2006 and 2016 and previously for U22 National Team back in 2001. Tabuse also represented Japan at the Asian Championships in Changsha-Hunan (China) three years ago. His team got to the Semifinals and his stats at that event were 9 games: 5.4ppg, 2.9rpg, 3.0apg, 1.0spg, FGP: 37.8%, 3PT: 28.6%, FT: 81.8%. Tabuse is quite experienced player. He has played also professionally in NBA (LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns), ABA (Long Beach J.), D-League (N.Mexico T. and Springfield A.) and NBA G League (Northern Arizona Suns). Tabuse is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Tochigi Brex. Tabuse could be described:
Maybe the quickest player in Asia - at any level. Plays North/South basketball efficiently. Sees the floor; sees things that no one is supposed to see. His superior ball-handling combined with explosive quickness leave defenders in the dust. Hits the 15-foot jumper standstill or off the dribble. Unbelievable menace on defense. Asia's number one passer. Received Tiger Beer Best Playmaker Award at the recent ABC Junior Men's tournament.
