Dean Barker has been joined at his new Japanese syndicate by former Team New Zealand team-mates Jeremy Lomas and Derek Saward.
The pair have been named in Team Japan's crew for the first America's Cup World Series regatta in Portsmouth at the end of the month.
There had been speculation Lomas and Saward would join Barker after they quit Team New Zealand last month.
Team New Zealand will be helmed by Peter Burling who will be joined by 49er team-mate Blair Tuke as well as Glenn Ashby, Ray Davies, Guy Endean and Richard Meachum.
