In the Far East, mostly Japan, they don’t play very much on ice hockey. They play ice hockey ONLY for the Winter Olympic Games. Nothing more, nothing else. But when it’s baseball, they sure do play lots of that game.

Isuro ‘Kamikaze’ Tanaka (portrayed by Takaaki Ishibashi), who played for the Tokyo Giants in Japan, was transferred to the Cleveland Indians in the United States, as their catcher. And once you see for how he is, you’ll want to watch him again, and again and again. Hilarious baseball catcher.

  1. "Kamikaze" Tanaka is once in a life time player.
    Tanaka and Munenori Kawasaki are real japanese baseball legends, not Ichiro or Ohtani😌

  2. Nomo chose 16 for the Dodgers to express his enormous gratitude to Ishibashi because Ishibashi thoroughly and wholeheartedly supported Nomo when there was a fierce backlash against Nomo from NPB and Japan's public for Nomo's move to leave NPB for MLB. Ishibashi is known for love of sports, in particular, baseball and boxing. Japan's athletes, including Nomo, Ichiro, and Ohtani, grew up with Ishibashi's TV and radio shows. Nomo'd been a fan of Ishibashi even before he became a pro in NPB.

  3. 「peaceful inside, outside warier」ってまさに現代の国際情勢にピッタリな言葉やな。
    文法合ってんのか知らんけど…
    平和ボケ日本の政治家に持って欲しい心持ちだわ。

  4. 貴さんの素手でとって「よっしゃー!」と叫ぶシーン、当時は同じ日本人として、ちょっと恥ずかしさがあった。
    ただ、2023年WBC準決勝メキシコ戦最終回、大谷のツーベースや、優勝した時に大谷がグローブと帽子を投げたのを見てからだと、日本人らしさを最大限に出した、いい演技だなー、って思う。
    WBCの大谷と同じ背番号16だし。時代の先取りを計算して演技している。凄い役者だと思います。
