TOKYO —

Actress Emi Takei will throw the ceremonial opening pitch in the season-opening baseball game between Chunichi and Hiroshima at Nagoya Dome on March 30.

Takei, who is also the image character for satellite sports channel J SPORTS, said she is a big fan of the Chunichi Dragons.

For the opening pitch, she said she’d like to throw a forkball. “Chunichi pitcher Takuya Asao showed me how but I’ll have to work on it from now,” she said.
