This page [in Japanese] states that the Hiromi Wada who played for the Nishitetsu Lions from 1955-72 participated in the All Stars five times.
Sorry I'm so late in looking this up. I wasn't sure of which Wada you wanted, and didn't know about Hiromi. (I'm not so good with historical players - yet.) After you clarified it on the mailing list (and I found some time), I think I've got the one you were asking about.

That's the guy. I'm guessing, but not certain, that the page is trying to say 5 seasons as an all-star, rather than 5 games. I have some doubt about this, seeing as there are 2-3 such games every year. If you are able to clarify this, let me know.
One possibility is does the 1998 encyclopedia tell you this information in the section between the player's name and his regular season record? If it does, I could scan and email that section to you for a quick translation. Anyway, thanks for the help, as always.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.

Hi again Jim,
I apologize for a mistake I made in my other e-mail. Hiromi Wada played in All-Star Games in five different years, and in seven different games. He had two hits in five at-bats. The other information that I provided is correct.

Great. That's what I was looking for -- and I think that being selected to 8 such teams supports my thought that, but for Katsuya Nomura, he would have been getting some Best Nine selections to his credit.
