Dokaben (ドカベン?) is a baseball manga by Shinji Mizushima, serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from April 24, 1972 to March 27, 1981. It was later made into an anime by the same name.

A dokaben (どか弁?) is a kind of bento box which the protagonist, Taro Yamada, likes to eat.

[edit] Outline

Dokaben is centered on Taro Yamada and his teammates Iwaki, Tonoma, and Satonaka and was focused mainly on their activity as a high school baseball team. At first, it focused on Yamada, Iwaki, and Saeko (known as the Hana Trio) and was set in Takaoka Middle School. But in Volume 8 the team is transferred to Niigata Meikun Advanced School for their baseball skills.

The story of Dokaben continues in Dai Koushien, Dokaben (Pro Baseball Story), and Dokaben (SuperStars Story).
