The performers who will liven up the Pacific League of the 2026 season are gathering at Pacific League Insights again this year! The unknown efforts, baseball love, and unique characters hidden behind the smiles that burst out in ground... We will deliver the charm of all 123 members of the Pa 6 team official cheering & performance team.

This directory will make cheering at the stadium more fun, and you will definitely find your own "recommendation". Please enjoy it while waiting for the game to start!

◇◇◇

This time, we would like to introduce RUNON, a new member of Orix Buffaloes The Buffaloes 's official dance and vocal unit "BsGravity".

Born in Tokyo, born on August 12th, number #399, nicknamed "Rupi", his hobbies are watching dramas, cameras, and visiting shrines.

RUNON took on the challenge of auditioning because of the performance of BsGirls that he saw on Kyocera Dome Osaka. He recalls that he was fascinated by his appearance and felt strongly that he wanted to support the team with his favorite dance. He continued to apply for three consecutive years from the year the unit became BsGravity, overcame the frustration of failing in the document screening and the final screening, and passed the third challenge with flying colors. They are new members who have just taken a new step in the scenery they longed for.

A Q&A with RUNON!

◯How would you describe your personality in one word?
I'm cheerful but shy around strangers.

I love "〇〇"!
I love plums, mandarins, and watching baseball!

I'm not good at "〇〇"!
I don't like things that scare me, like haunted houses!

What were your childhood dreams?
I'm a princess!

What is the most moving experience you've ever had in your life?
It was when I retired from my club activities.

What are you grateful for in your life?
They were my teammates in the soft tennis club during middle school.
As a member of the team competing in team events, she taught me the importance and joy of supporting each other and working hard towards a common goal!

What inspired you to start dancing?
I started dancing when I was three years old, after my mother took me to a ballet class.

Where do you want to go most right now?
I want to go to Disneyland!

◯What's your phone's wallpaper?
These are photos of Buffalo Bull and Buffalo Bell taken at the Miyazaki training camp!

What would you want to eat as your last meal?
I want to eat a huge amount of fried food, like fried chicken and croquettes!

◯What surprised you when you joined "BsGravity"?
I already had the impression that they were all good friends, but they're even more harmonious than I imagined!

What do you find most difficult right now?
It's difficult to present cool-sounding songs effectively, so I'm currently researching how to make them look cool!

Things I'd like to learn from my seniors
Many of my seniors are good cooks, so I'd love it if they could teach me some easy recipes!

◯What were your impressions on your first day of practice?
We learned the choreography for the team's fight song, "SKY," and since I'd only ever seen it from the stands before, it was a strange feeling to realize that I'd actually become a part of BsGravity. (laughs)

What are you most looking forward to doing with this team from now on?
The goal is to dance to "Winning SKY" a lot!

Look at this part of me!
A smile during the performance!

If you had to choose your walk-up music for the 2026 season, which would it be?
Carly Rae Jepsen "Good Time"

Finally, a message to the readers of Pacific League Insight...

"We will do our best to liven up not only Orix Buffaloes The Buffaloes, but also Pacific League and NPB, so when you come to Kyocera Dome Osaka or Hotto Motto Field Kobe, we would be happy if you would pay attention to BsGravity's performance!"
