Rakuten Eagles is pleased to announce that Takahiro Norimoto pitcher and Keisei Electric Railway Co. will be conducting various collaborative projects throughout the 2025 season. This collaboration project was realized because the Keisei Electric Railway Group's management philosophy of "safety and security" and "products and services that delight our customers" match the image of Norimoto pitcher, whose spirited playing style attracts fans and brings a sense of security and expectation to win.

Keisei Electric Railway Co. has been the official silver sponsor of Rakuten Eagles since 2020 and is advertising on mound for the 2025 season, its sixth season. As part of the collaboration project, the The Eagles Kids Station, located in the front plaza of the stadium at Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi, will become the Keisei Electric Railway Sky line drive The Eagles Kids Station. On the day of the first home game regular season where Norimoto pitcher will pitch, an original baseball card will be given away at the "Keisei Dentetsu Sky line drive The Eagles Kids Station" for junior high school students and younger who have a ticket to the game.

In addition, commercials featuring footage of Norimoto pitcher playing will be aired inside the stadium, and a photo spot will be set up where fans can feel as if they are playing against Norimoto pitcher. In addition, a social contribution activity will be conducted in which school supplies will be donated to children in schools and facilities in Miyagi Prefecture according to the number of saves made by Norimoto pitcher at the end of the season.

▼Norimoto pitcher comments
We are very happy to be able to carry out this collaborative project with Keisei Electric Railway Company, which has always supported Rakuten Eagles. Although our speed is a little less than Sky line drive, we will throw with all our soul to bring our customers (team and fans) smoothly to the end of the line (team's win) just like Sky line drive, so please give us your enthusiastic support this season as well."
