I am very happy to be the first recipient of the 'Sompo Japan HIKESHI Award' and to have commemorative goods released. This season, I continued to pitch in tough situations, but I made sure to put out the fires for the team. I will keep swinging my arm to contribute even more to the team next season, so please give us your passionate support along with these goods!
