I'm out for the day. But when I return home I'll look it up first thing.

According to Wada's Wikipedia page, he safely in 24 consecutive games to start the 1997 season.
I was unable to find such a record in the "2008 Baseball Record Book" (Baseball Magazine Sha, ISBN 978-4-583-10066-1 for those who await its publishing every year) for corroboration. But I did verify it on Wada's profile on Hanshin's official site.
Hope this helps.

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 need the information for the Wada bio I'm doing at Baseball-Reference.
I would e-mail Gary Garland directly, but I don't think he's gotten my e-mails for some time; he used to reply quickly and I haven't heard from him for ages.
