WBC Autographed Signed Hideki Kuriyama Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters Jersey
HAM-057
This is a rare and valuable piece of memorabilia for any fan of Japanese Baseball history. Hideki Kuriyama is a respected figure in Japanese baseball, known for his success as a player and a coach. A former outfielder, Kuriyama played in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) with the Yakult Swallows, showcasing his skills before transitioning into coaching and management.
The jersey is in excellent condition and has been stored at home since it was autographed. It is a perfect addition to any collection and would make an ideal gift for any Ohtani or Japanese baseball fan.
Kuriyama gained national recognition as the manager of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters from 2012 to 2021, where he led the team to a 2016 Japan Series championship. Under his leadership, the Fighters developed a strong reputation for cultivating young talent, and several players later joined Major League Baseball (MLB).
In 2023, Kuriyama took the helm of Samurai Japan and led the national team to victory in the World Baseball Classic (WBC). His strategic mindset and ability to maximize player potential played a key role in Japan’s championship run, further cementing his legacy in international baseball.
Throughout his coaching career, Kuriyama mentored some of Japan’s most successful MLB players, including Shohei Ohtani, who became a global superstar with his two-way abilities, and Yu Darvish, an elite pitcher known for his dominance in both NPB and MLB. Kuriyama’s impact on Japanese baseball is undeniable as he continues to shape the sport's future domestically and internationally.

Measurement Notes
Japanese clothing sizes are typically smaller than those in the US, which is an important consideration when shopping for apparel. Additionally, vintage Japanese clothing tends to have even smaller dimensions compared to the sizes available today. To ensure you find the most accurate fit, we recommend referring to the specific measurements provided for each product. This will help you select the size that best suits your body shape and preferences.
It's important to note that all measurements are taken with the item laid flat on a surface, allowing for precise evaluation of the garment's dimensions.
