Baseball, a beloved sport in Japanese culture, was introduced to the country in the late 19th century. Over time, it has become a staple in Japanese society, even being dubbed the unofficial national sport after WWII.
“Dokaben,” a manga series created by Shinji Mizushima, centers around the sport. Its protagonist, Taro Yamada, has a bronze statue in his honor in Niigata City, and the sculpture has long been a landmark. Recently, fans have begun taking creative photos that make it seem like Yamada is hitting baseballs with his bat and sending them flying. This statue continues to symbolize the impact of baseball on Japanese culture.
