After graduating from high school, he was taken by the Seibu Lions and started his professional career. He was selected for the Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star Game in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2006. He also was voted for MVP of the 2004 game. At November 2006, he sign the contract with Boston Red Sox and be a Major League Baseball player. I heard from my friends that his amount of the contract can buy a one baseball club in Japan. See, how amazing him until Boston are willing to spend a lot of money just only want to get his ability.

The latest achievement when he with Japan baseball team won the 2009 World Baseball Classic at the final againts Korea. He playing a key role as they successfully defended their title. He also won his second World Baseball Classic MVP award. He is one of Japan's pride. eventhough I am a foreigner, i also admire him because he bring Japan name at the international level. He can be a good example to the other. See you guys next time..:-D

Some baseball fans in Taiwan call him Winnie because he looks cute and a bit like Winnie the Pooh :)
