His 189 hits in 2003 was a Pacific Leaguer record for righthand hitters. 21 game shitting streak (9/9-10/12/2003). Suffered a back problem in 2005, causing his numbers to tail off badly. He then had an elbow injury in 2006. Traded to Yomiuri during the 2006 offseason. Qualified for free agency in 2007 and decided to stay. Has a right index finger problem that he incurred his rookie year that doesn't allow him to tuck it into his palm.

Biography: Played in two Koshien Tournaments (summer 1987-1988). Belted a total of 42 homers for his high school career. Drafted on the first round (1988). At the outset of his career, had trouble remembering scouting reports, so after having to teach him the same stuff repeatedly, someone nicknames him "Pampers," since babies have to keep having knowledge reinforced. Slugged the 65,000th homer in Japanese history (6/19/1994 against Hanshin). Drilled a sayonara grand slam (7/7/2001 against Yomiuri). Cracked a grand slam in the Japan Series (game three, 2004). Upon gaining free agency after the 2001 season, he attempted to find a job in MLB, but didn't garner any interest. So he signed with Chunichi. Selected to eight all star teams (1993, 1997-2002, 2005). Known as an excellent defensive backstop, throwing out 43% of runners attempting to steal for his career through the end of the 2004 season.. 100th homer (10/3/2001 against Hiroshima at Nagoya Dome in the second inning off of Ken Takahashi). 200th homer (9/1/2009 against Hiroshima at Hamamatsu Stadium). 1000th game (8/25/1998 against Hanshin at Koshien Stadium in a start at catcher). 1500th game (8/1/2002 against Yomiuri at Tokyo Dome in a start at catcher). 2000th game (7/26/2006 against Hanshin at Nagoya Dome in a start at catcher, becoming only the fourth catcher ever to reach that mark). 1500th hit (10.9.2006 against Yakult at Meiji Jingu Staidum in the fourth inning off of Masanori Ishikawa, an RBI double to right). His 1708 consecutive chances without an error is a Japan record (ended 8/10/2007). Caught two regular season no hitters and then also caught the combined perfect game in the 2007 Japan Series. Missed a month with a calf injury in 2009. Is second all time in games caught. Is one of just three players all time to have both 200 homers and 200 sacrifices. His hobby is golf.

Biography: Began playing baseball in fifth grade. Was a pitcher, but hurt his elbow in sixth grade and went to the infield. Played in three Koshien Tournaments, winning it all in the last two, during which time he was team captain (spring,r 1986, spring, summer 1987). Drafted on the first round (1987). Became the first rookie fresh out of high school to start for Chunichi in 22 years on Opening Day (4/81988 against Taiyo at Nagoya Stadium). Top all star vote getter as a rookie, barely beating out Yakult shortstop Takahiro Ikeyama by 170 votes, the first time a rookie out of high school had been the top vote getter/. Furthermore, he cracked a single to center in his first all star at bat, which came in an eighth inning pinch hit appearance (game one, 1988 off of Hiroshi Tsuno). First rookie right out of high school to ever be accorded a Gold Glove (1988). Moved to second base in 1992 due to injuring his shoulder. Belted a first inning leadoff homer on Opening Day, becoming the 14th man ever to do that, Also, it was the first ever homer hit at Nagoya Dome (1997 at Nagoya Dome off of Koki Morita). His 423rd double became a new all time Central League record (5/23/2004 against Yokohama). He also holds the all time doubles record, eclipsing the previous record of 449 that had been held by Yutaka Fukumoto (5/19/2005 against Nippon Ham in the third off of Satoru Kanemura, a shot down the leftfield line). 100th homer (8/19/1998 against Yakult at Meiji Jingu Stadium in the third inning off of Tetsuya Kitagawa). 1000th hit (6/2/1996 against Yomiuri at Tokyo Dome off of Masaki Saito). 1500th hit (4/13/2000 against Hiroshima at Nagoya Dome in the eighth inning off of Ken Takahashi, a single to center). 2000th hit (7/5/2003 off of Masanori Hayashi in the eighth inning, a single to right thast he rolled between first and second with two men on as part of a three hit, three RBI night, the 30th man ever to that mark). His cycle was the first by a Dragons player in 35 years and only the third from somebody on that club all time. Stroked a walkoff grand slam (5/21/2002 against Yakult). Pinch hit grand slam (8/28/2007 against Yokohama at Yokohama Stadium off of Hayato Terahara in the sixth inning). His seven seasons with at least 30 doubles is an all time record. His 712 straight chances without an error as a seconjd baseman was a then Central League record (6/11/1993-6/11/1994; the streak was broken when he couldn't pick a hot shot off the bat of Hideki Matsui). 1000th game (9/21/1996 against Yomiuri at Tokyo Dome in a start at second base). 1500th game (8/29/2000 against Hiroshima at Hiroshima Municipal Stadium in a start st second base). 1000th RBI (8/24/2007 against Hanshin at Nagoya Dome in the fifth inning off of Tsuyoshi Shimoyanagi, a pinch hit RBI single to right. He is the 32nd man to that mark). 1000th run scored (6/26/2003 against Yaklult at Meiji Jingu Stadium in the first inning). He is Japan's all time doubles leader. Selected to 11 all star teams (1988, 1991, 1994-1998, 2000, 2002-2004). Is the first player ever to receive Gold Gloves at three different positions. Is also Chunichi's all time team hits leader. Cracked five hits in a game five times in his career, tying a pro yakyu record (6/30/2006 against Hiroshima at Nagoya Dome).His 93 pinch hit appearances in 2007 is a Japan record. However, he was also accused of drugging and raping a woman during the Japan Series and then enlisting the aid of a bigwig with an organized crime group to try to make it go away. And it eventually did. Tatsunami is also a notorious womanizer. Became a batting instructor with Chunichi after retirement. Reference: Wikipedia Japan
