In 1965 the Kokutetsu Swallows of the Central League were sold to the Sankei Company during the season and briefly renamed the Sankei Swallows before becoming the Sankei Atoms a year later. The team played their home games at Meiji Jingu Stadium in Shinjuku, Tokyo. They finished last that year at 44-91-5.
