The club was formed in 2003 as Hoyo Sukarabu F.C. In 2005 they changed their name to Hoyo Atlético Club Elan Oita, the name in which they competed for many years in the Kyushu Football League. The club is backed by the Hoyo Group, a digital camera and auto parts manufacturer based in nearby Kunisaki.
