The press conference to announce the new recruits for Rakuten Eagles was held at a hotel in Sendai on the 5th. It was announced that pitcher (26), who was drafted 6th, will wear number 45.

He played for the club team Yabatan Boosters for three years, before joining the amateur baseball team Oji this year. With the environment changing dramatically over the past few years, he will be competing in the professional world from next season. Looking back on his experience with the club team, he said, "I learned not to blame the environment. That's something I want to continue to use." This right-handed pitcher, who has carved out his own path by doing his best in any environment, will also be pitching with great force on the professional stage.
