Rakuten Baseball Inc. (Headquarters: Miyagino-ku, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Masayuki Morii) announces that Shohma Fujihira and Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, President and Representative Director: Takao Amano) will implement various collaboration projects throughout the 2026 season. Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd. has been an official sponsor of the Rakuten Eagles since the 2020 season, and the 2026 season marks their 7th season. This collaboration project has been realized due to the match between the speed of Keisei Electric Railway's express route "Keisei Skyliner" from Keisei-Ueno Station to Narita Airport, and the image of Shohma Fujihira, who hails from Chiba Prefecture and captivates fans with his fastballs and spirited playing style, leading the team to victory.

Under this project, when Shohma Fujihira pitches in a first-team official game held at Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi, original baseball cards will be presented to children junior high school age and younger who hold a game ticket for that day at the "Keisei Electric Railway Skyliner Eagles Kids Station." Furthermore, a photo spot will be set up, replicating the "Skyliner" mound advertisement, allowing visitors to feel as if they are facing Shohma Fujihira.

Additionally, after the end of the season, based on Shohma Fujihira's performance, a social contribution activity is planned to donate school supplies to children in schools and facilities within Miyagi Prefecture.

Shohma Fujihira's Comment I am very happy to be able to collaborate with Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd., who have been supporting the Rakuten Eagles for a long time, in this way. I will throw each pitch with all my heart, aiming to lead the team to victory powerfully and without hesitation, just like the Skyliner. Thank you for your passionate support again this season.
