Approved by Hanshin Tigers! New Baseball-Themed Learning Workbook 'Tigers Drill' Launches. Special Summer Campaign at Selected Kansai Bookstores Starts Same Day!

KADOKAWA Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President & CEO: Takehisa Natsuno) will release 'Tigers Drill: Boost Your 'Baseball Brain' with Math and Japanese,' an officially licensed educational workbook for elementary school students approved by the Hanshin Tigers, starting Thursday, July 16, 2026.

To commemorate the launch, a special campaign offering this summer's limited-time exclusive 'original bookmark' will begin on the same day, available only at four bookstores in the Kansai region.

Turn Your Love for the Tigers into Learning!

'Tigers Drill' is an educational workbook for elementary school students officially approved by the Hanshin Tigers. It features original problems packed with unique baseball elements, allowing children to study enjoyably alongside Torakki.

Develop Thinking Skills Aligned with Elementary School Japanese and Math!

All questions are based on the standard elementary school curriculum. The workbook includes knowledge-based questions such as proverbs, four-character idioms, and kanji stroke counts from Japanese classes, as well as numerous thinking-intensive problems like puzzle-style calculations and word problems from math classes.

Packed with Features That Motivate Children to Open the Workbook Themselves!

With a simple one-question-per-page format and a well-paced design that treats the entire book like a 9-inning baseball game, it effectively boosts children's motivation. Each correct answer delivers a sense of achievement like getting a hit, helping maintain concentration for longer periods.

'Giants Drill' and 'Hawks Drill' Also Launch Simultaneously as Part of the Series!

As part of the 'Professional Baseball Drill Series,' 'Giants Drill' (in cooperation with the Yomiuri Giants) and 'Hawks Drill' (in cooperation with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks) will also be released. All problems are unique to each team's workbook, so we encourage trying not only the 'Tigers Drill' but also the other team versions.
