Who is faster, Ichiro or Akahoshi? (This question is intentionally broad and vague so as to inspire diverse and creative answers.)

I would say Akahoshi is faster than Ichiro. This is not to say Ichiro is slow, but he would not be considered one of the fastest in Japan. For example Aoki (Swallows) and Soyogi (Carp) would also be faster. Hanshin also has a player faster than Akahoshi - Akamatsu - but he cannot break into the top team on a permanent basis.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
