Biography: Saw an ad in the newspaper about a team needing players, so he tried out (12/1945). Caught no hitter 9/6/1948 thrown by Juzo Sanada against Hanshin, another one by Masaichi Kaneda on 9/5/1951 against Hanshin, one by Teruo Owaki on 5/3/56 against Chunichi, and a perfect game by Masaichi Kaneda on 8/21/57 against Chunichi, making him only one of two men (the other being Hiromi Wada of Nishitetsu) to be behind the plate for four no nos, but he did it in 197 fewer career games solely as a catcher to accomplish it. Worked in Yakult's advertising department after retirement, working his way up to an executive position.
