Biography: Started out playing baseball in third grade on a softball team his father coached. Played Boys League in junior high. Selected to Japan's national collegiate all star team his senior year. Racked up a wins crown, an MVP and two Best Nines at Kyushu Community College while accumulating 300 strikeouts. Went all the way in both ends of a league deciding doubleheader during the spring season of his senior year, going nine and 11 innings respectively with only a 45 minute break in between. His pitch count was 310. His velocity also increased markedly from when he was in high school. He garnered interest from several different teams, but Dragons scout Muneo Nakada told the other teams that he and Kenichi were related, so the opposition backed off. The truth is that Muneo and Kenichi are not related. Drafted on the second round (2004). Became the first man fresh out of the amateur ranks since Kenshin Kawakami in 1998 to begin the regular season in the starting rotation in 2005. At one point, had 13 straight winning decisions at Nagoya Dome. Fastball tops out at 95mph with a slider and forkball, but his command of his breaking pitches is inconsistent. Selected to one all star team (2007). Official Blog Reference: Wikipedia Japan
