Rakuten Baseball, Inc. (Headquarters: Miyagino-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture; President: Masayuki Morii) is pleased to announce that player Shoma Fujihira and Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture; President: Takao Amano) will be implementing various collaborative projects throughout the 2026 season.
Keisei Electric Railway has been an official sponsor of the Rakuten Eagles since the 2020 season, and the 2026 season will mark their seventh year of partnership. This collaboration was realized because the speed of the "Keisei Skyliner," the express route operated by Keisei Electric Railway from Keisei Ueno Station to Narita Airport, aligns perfectly with the image of Chiba-born Shoma Fujihira, who captivates fans and leads the team to victory with his fastballs and spirited pitching style.
Under this initiative, if Shoma Fujihira pitches in a first-team official game held at Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi, original baseball cards will be presented to children of junior high school age or younger who hold a ticket for that day's game at the "Keisei Electric Railway Skyliner Eagles Kids Station." Furthermore, a photo spot will be installed that recreates the "Skyliner" mound advertisement, allowing fans to feel as though they are facing Shoma Fujihira themselves.
Additionally, after the season concludes, a social contribution activity is planned where school supplies will be donated to schools and facilities within Miyagi Prefecture, based on Shoma Fujihira's performance.
Comment from Shoma Fujihira I am very happy to be able to work in this way with Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd., who support the Rakuten Eagles every day. I will put my heart into every single pitch, aiming to be as powerful as the Skyliner and to lead the team to victory without hesitation. I look forward to your passionate support again this season.
