Biography: Played third up until his last year of high school, when he was converted into a pitcher. However, due to averaging almost 400 innings in each of his first two years with the Dragons, his arm went dead and he was converted back to the infield in 1965. That didn't really work out and he attempted to take the mound again in 1968, with less than satisfactory results and he retired. As a result, when he himself became a manager, he babied his pitchers. He guided Yokohama to only its second pennant and Japan Series championship in 1998. Selected to three all star teams (1961-1963).
