The historic Taikyu High School (Wakayama) will be participating in Koshien for the first time throughout the spring and summer. The local community is excited about this historic achievement.
Alumni have set up a hand-made support group to support the event. At the center of the event is the famous pitcher's younger brother, and it will be the first big stage for not only the school but also the past alumni. The first thing the special support group planned was to cheer them on with ``human characters'' at the Alps seats.
