Biography:  Is of Korean ancestry, his parents' Korean name being Park. Grew up admiring the Carp. Was an outfielder for his first three and a half years in college before he was switched to third base. Played on a collegiate all star team that squared off against one from the U.S., going 6-12 in that series. Won a Tokyo Metropolitan University League RBI title (1998). Hit just two homers in college. Drafted on the sixth round at the ruging of infielder Kenjiro Nomura, though scouts from other teams as well as Arai's college teammates couldn't believe it because he wass that raw (1998). Cost Eddy Diaz a homer when he thought that the ball had been caught and returned to first base. Diaz passed him on the basepaths for an out and Hiroshima lost by two runs (9/14/1999 against Yakult at Hiroshima Municipal Stadium). Is a terrible fielder and once cost his team a run when, after a bases loaded 5-2-3 double play with nobody out, he tossed the ball to Chunichi's first base coach, who dodged the flip and a runner crossed while the ball rolled down the rightfield line (9/21/1999 against Chunichi at Nagoya Dome in the fifth inning). Especially has trouble throwing. Lead the Central League in errors with 17 in 2002 and with 23 in 2005.Three homer game (10/4/2003 against Hanshin at Hiroshima Municipal Stadium). Had a six game homer streak (6/22-6/28/2005). His 43 homers in 2005 is second most all time for any Carp player. Selected to Japan's WBC team (2006). After his brother Ryota, who plays for Chunichi, smacked a sayonara hit the night before, Takahiro returned the favor the very next day against the Dragons (7/31-8/1/2007). 1000th game (6/19/2007 against Nippon Ham at Hiroshima Municipal Stadium). Selected to three all star teams (2002, 2005, 2007). His wife is former model Yumiko Ohashi, who is reportedly a bonkers baseball fan herself.

Biography: Started playing baseball at age four. Slugged three homers in a game against Rikkyo University (1967). Selected to five college Best Nine teams. Hammered a total of 19 homers at university. Drafted on the first round by Taiyo, which he refused. He was subsequently mugged, suffering impaired vision as a result of the attack. He signed with Taiyo 
with the understanding that he would then be moved to Yakult, which he was, but he was suspended for the first month of the 1971 season for participating in that deal.
