Since my arrival, I've really felt at home in the team and was warmly welcomed right from the start. It gives me great pleasure to be part of this team. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world and it#s a great honour for me to wear this jersey. In the future, I want to continue to show my qualities, constantly improve and be successful with the team so we win lots of trophies with the club.

Investment in the women's game has provided more resources for expert analysts, higher-quality video footage and better scouting networks. It means Asian talent is being scouted on a regular basis and the visibility of Japanese players, in particular, is putting them on the radar of the WSL's top clubs. After winning the Golden Boot at the 2023 Women's World Cup, Hinata Miyazawa joined Manchester United, while talented youngster Maika Hamano had bagged a move to WSL champions Chelsea a few months earlier.

Hideo Nomo made MLB history as the first Japanese pitcher to start the MLB All-Star Game on July 11, 1995, for the National League, pitching two scoreless innings.

Rion Ishikawa, a 22-year-old Japanese centre-back, has joined Everton from Urawa Red Diamonds as their third summer signing, showcasing her talent after representing Japan at the Under-20 World Cup.

The custom manhole covers must reflect the players' unique paths and story, and MLB plans to celebrate their contributions to the sport with local artistry.
