Hiroshi Takamura

Hiroshi Takamura is one of those guys who flies completely under the radar and that somehow makes me respect him more. Born in Utsunomiya, Tochigi in 1969 — real salt-of-the-earth Japan — he went to Hosei University, which has a legendary baseball program, so this wasn't some casual hobby, this was serious dedication. Standing 177cm, he wasn't going to intimidate anyone with sheer physical presence, which means whatever he did on the field he earned through craft and reading the game. The fact that his personal life is almost entirely private just deepens that impression — he let the work speak, not the persona. I genuinely like that in an athlete.
