That link probably does not help him at all. The Ni-Gun (Minor League) has 12 teams, most are named after there actual team. Here is a full list for you.

Hanshin= Hanshin Tigers (Western League)
Yokohama= Shonan Searex (Eastern League)
Hiroshima= Hiroshima Toyo Carp (Eastern League)
Tokyo Yakult= Tokyo Yakult Swallows (Eastern League)
Chunichi= Chunichi Dragons (Western League)
Yomiuri= Yomiuri Giants (Western League)

Hokkaido= Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters (Eastern League)
Chiba= Chiba Lotte Marines (Eastern League)
Fukuoka= Fukuoka Soft Bank Hawks (Western League)
Tohoku= Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles (Eastern League)
Saitama Seibu= Goodwill (Eastern League)
Orix= Kobe Surpass (Western League)

Hope this helps, if you have any questions just lmk.

Teams in bold are the Ni-Gun teams with a "different" name.

One quick change, the Seibu team has been renamed Seibu (because Goodwill was caught in a corruption scheme).
