Shigeharu Honda (本田 茂治 Honda Shigeharu?) Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu Shigeharu is an up and coming baseball pitcher for the Marine Stars. He is a widower and lives with his son Gorō. An elbow injury threatens to end his baseball career early on until his friend and teammate, Shigeno, suggests that he try hitting. He was an exceptional pinch hitter before he turned pro, and is a natural in the batters box. He works his way up from a pinch hitter to play first base for the Marine Stars. He later developed feelings for Gorōs teacher and were close to marriage. However, he tragically dies after being struck in the head by a pitch from Joe Gibson, an American pitcher that had come to Japan from the Major Leagues. It was said that Honda was part of a winning Koshien high school along with Shigeno. During his childhood days, he played for the Yokohama little league.
