he's about the same age as mayu's brother lol kinda awkward. i thought athletes who are dating are supposed to be discreet? if he's going around wearing a toray shirt maybe he supports the team. his hometown could be toray's base or something.
On his wiki it say he was born in Fukui prefecture. Toray is based in Shiga prefecture. Toray does not have any connection with Softbank Hawks either and the 2 teams have never collaborated.
