Dome visited my neighborhood in Okinawa
13I just realized Dome visited Okinawa yesterday, and I believe it's first time since he joined Dragons spring training in 2007. He teached kids with Kenshin Kawakami (Braves, Dragons), Junichi Tazawa (Redsox), Denny Tomori (Redsox, Dragons - an Okinawan native) and other players. Click link to see its news footage.

There is a Grilled Chicken restaurant called Torihiro in Urasoe, Okinawa, where all kinds of baseball industry people get together. I found Dome's autograph in Japanese characters on the wall (lower left one, click here to enlarge) when I visit there to celebrate my friend won the regional high school baseball tournament for National Tournament in Koshien on last Sunday. It is written entirely in Japanese vertically, reads "07.2.14, for Torihiro, Chunichi Dragons, Fukudome Kosuke #1", when he visited the restaurant on his off-day in 2007 Dragons spring training in Chatan, Okinawa.
