Senbatsu High School Baseball tournaments have been plagued by voyeurism targeting cheerleaders. Schools are struggling to protect their students from this despicable act.
Koshien cheerleaders take self-defense measures to protect themselves from being photographed by voyeurs. Chiba Chuo Gakuin Academy, which is participating for the first time in six years, has changed to shorts instead of skirts from this tournament to prevent Voyeurism. Takasaki Health and Welfare University Takasaki High School in Gunma has similarly switched to requiring shorts for this tournament.
