“I am honored and very excited to be a part of Softbank, which is dedicating all its efforts to win the championship next season. Our mission is to win the championship first and then regain Japan’s No. 1.
Along with my teammates, coaching staff, and everyone at the front desk, I’d like to deliver the Hawks’ 12th No. 1 in Japan to the fans. I can’t wait to play as I feel the incredible energy fans bring to the PayPay Dome.”
