Masuko ...
Did you get fatter?
Coach Kataoka during the 3rd-Years's retirement game [3]

Masuko Tooru was the vice-captain and third baseman of the Seidou High School, also the former roommate of Sawamura Eijun and Kuramochi Youichi. After his retirement, he was the roommate of Takigawa Chris Yuu and Makihara.

Character[]

Masuko does not talk much. But when he is talking, he says the most important in the shortest way. He is kind by nature, so he is bulled by his kouhais[4] sometimes.

He is very strict with himself. He bans himself from speaking after making an error in a match - as seen at Masuko and Sawamura's first meeting[5], when he only communicated by writing notes. Kuramochi told Sawamura later, that Masuko had made a mistake the other day and now does not let himself talk.

Because of his purposefulness, which shows itself in his avid training, he seems solid as a rock. Thanks to this purposefulness he gets permission from coach Kataoka to return to the starting lineup. He is very good at hitting fastballs but bad with breaking balls. Despite his large physique he moves fast. He was the team's fifth batter (also called five-hole[6]).

  4. Senpai (先輩) and kōhai (後輩) are terms applied to the mentor system in wide use in Japanese culture; often found at all levels of education, in sports clubs, businesses, and informal or social organizations. The senpai is roughly equivalent to the Western concept of a mentor, while kōhai is roughly equivalent to protégé, though they do not imply as strong a relationship as these words mean in the West. More simply, these may be translated as senior and junior.
