The Central League and NPB record is held by Hiroshima's Yoshihiko Takahashi who hit in 33 consecutive games between June 6 and July 31, 1979.
The Pacific League record is held by Hankyu's Atsushi Nagaike who hit in 32 consecutive games between May 28 and July 6, 1971.
For reference, Ichiro, who holds the record for most hits in a season, only hit in as many as 23 consecutive games -- but he did it twice in 1994. Seibu's Matsui also hit in 23 games in a row in 1999.

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.
