Shohei Habu

There's something quietly compelling about a guy who grew up in Onomichi — that old port town in Hiroshima with the steep slopes, the cats, and the sea practically in your backyard — and decided to chase a career in professional baseball. Standing at 180cm, he'd cut a solid presence on the field. I don't have a highlight reel of dramatic moments to point to, but honestly that's almost the point — careers like his are built on relentless, unglamorous work far from the spotlight, and I find that more interesting than a curated story. A kid from the Seto Inland Sea region grinding his way into pro ball deserves a quiet nod of respect.
