"Fist Of The North Star" Leads Trade Blood For Hiroshima Toyo Carp Red In Baseball Promotion

Japans's Nippon Professional Baseball opens its season on March 31st, and to prepare, the Central League's Hiroshima Toyo Carp has revealed their latest pop culture collaboration. Fist of the North Star hero Kenshiro bats and adversary Raoh pitches, with the slogan "hard ball" on t-shirts and towels in the team's red uniform color. 

 

These sell for 3,240yen and 2160yen respectively across the city.

 

 

Last year, the Central League's Hanshin Tigers did a Fist of the North Star collation with manager Tomoaki Kanemoto illustrated in the style of Kenshiro from series illustrator Tetsuo Hara.
