Your best bet would be to parter with someone who already has a presence in Japan. Nike and Addidas stand out.
The ball clubs will all already have licensing and marketing deals with all the major players in Japan directly. Some high profile players are allowed to be exempt from some promotions if they have their own deals with other vendors than the team.
Unless you have a branch office in Japan, with a staff that can attend smoke filled backroom meetings, it's going to be very tough to sell to the teams.

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.

I'm a wholesaler located in the States. I understand Japan already has Mizuno and SSK, but I carry pretty much every other brand and I deal directly with all these vendors. Does Japan use and buy -5 bats 33" as well? Is there any way I can contact some wholesaler in Japan, or maybe a team and sell products to them at a super cheap price? Is that unlikely to happen? I'm confident I can beat many Japanese prices. I don't speak Japanese. What should I do?
