In 1998, he participated in the Tohto University Baseball League and went 6 for 12 against an American collegiate All-Star team, winning him the league's RBI title.

He was involved in two bone-head plays in one week.
On September 14, he did not try to advance on a home run by Eddy Diaz because he thought it would be caught; Diaz passed him on the bases, resulting in an out.
A week later, he lost count of the number of outs and threw away the ball after a double play, allowing a runner to score.

Before the 2005 season, he spent four days and three nights at a Buddhist temple to help his focus, adjusting his swing and improved drastically, putting up a .305/.353/.603 line with 91 runs, 43 homers, 94 RBI and 326 total bases.
He was second in the Central League in slugging (behind Kanemoto) and led the loop in home runs and errors (23).
