Honda Shigeharu is an up and coming baseball pitcher for the Blue Oceans. A shoulder injury threatens to end his career early on when his friend and teammate, Shigeno, suggests that he try batting. He tragically dies after being struck in the head by a pitch from Joe Gibson, a pitcher that had come to Japan from the Major Leagues.

She can also play as a catcher.

[edit] The manga
Hi, I want to add information about the manga series, but I'm not sure if I should create a different article for it. Since the manga is the original series, and anime an adaptation, it feels weird to put the manga information under the (anime) article. -Pan Sola 18:24, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- As a follow up, after reading the article naming guidelines, I've renamed the article to Major (manga) to adhere to them. -Pan Sola 20:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Naming conventions
- Goro - In volume 47 of the manga, on our main character's passport his name is spelled "GOROU". However, at the Anaheim Salmons Spring Training, he wrote his own name down as "Goro".
I'll be using "Gorou" as the standard in the article, as that is what's on his passport.Nevermind, after checking the policy I realize the standard should be "Goro" . - Sato - During the Baseball World Cup, Sato's name on the scoreboard (the thing that lists the batting order) was spelled "SATOH". I'll be using "Satoh" as the standard in the article.
