A gorgeous lineup including home run king Asamura gathers with new manager Imae! Tact Home Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishitokyo City, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kazuhiro Kodera) will hold an event on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at Waseda University Higashi Fushimi Campus Abe Stadium (hardball baseball stadium) in Nishitokyo. The “GRAFARE Junior Baseball Class” was held for 5th and 6th grade elementary school players in the cities of Kyoto, Kodaira, and Higashikurume, inviting current professional baseball players and others as instructors.
The main instructor and producer of the event was Shohei Tateyama, who joined Yakult in 2002 and has contributed to the team by winning the most wins as the right ace.
In addition, Toshiaki Imae, who will be the new manager of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in 2024, Hideto Asamura, who won the Most Home Run Hitter Award with 26 home runs in the 2023 season, and Torata Kiyomiya, a promising hope who boasts a fastball of 161km/h.

In the classroom, after basic practice such as playing catch and tee batting, the students were divided into pitchers, catchers,
infielders, and outfielders, and specialized instructors visited each player individually to provide high-level instruction.
In the second half of the class, the children’s eyes lit up and they cheered as they witnessed Asamura’s powerful long-tee batting and pitcher Kiyomiya’s spectacular pitching.
At the end of the event, we held a Q&A session and a raffle where you could win goods autographed by the players, allowing us to deliver an early Christmas present.

[Background of the event]
This class was made possible because Mr. Tateyama and our company’s president, Kodera, who attended the same school, shared the desire to “provide better play opportunities for children who have a bright future.”
Tact Home Co., Ltd. has been conducting this event since fiscal 2021 as part of its social contribution activities, with the aim of nurturing the healthy development of children in Nishi-Tokyo City through baseball and revitalizing junior baseball.
This year, in order to deliver the moment of dreams to even more children, we received support from Nishi-Tokyo City, Kodaira City and Higashikurume City, and 31 teams from the three cities, approximately 300 children, will participate. It became an event, and it was held with increased power.
