<p>The WBC is scheduled to start on March 8, and the sports news has been full of stories related to Samurai Japan every day. The key to the long-awaited victory will be the &#8220;monster of Reiwa,&#8221; Akinori Sasaki (21), who last year became the youngest player in history to pitch a perfect game, forming a golden starting lineup with Yu Darvish (36), Shohei Otani (28), and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (24).</p>
<p>Sasaki has been called &#8220;the man who never smiles,&#8221; due to the hard look on his face at the draft meeting. His appearance on the variety show &#8220;Shabekuri 007&#8221; (Nippon Television Network Corporation) this year was a shock to the TV world.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p>There was a scene in the program where he was asked to do one of Joy Man&#8217;s tricks, and viewers who witnessed the bashful expression on Sasaki&#8217;s face said, <strong>&#8220;Akinori Sasaki is being baptized in variety&#8221; or &#8220;Is this black history?</strong> &#8221; &#8230;&#8230; We talked to a person involved in the TV industry. The answer was surprising.</p>
<p><strong> He is very popular among men and women of all ages. There are many TV programs other than sports programs that want him to appear. There is a real competition for his schedule, but whether or not Sasaki accepts an offer to appear is actually determined by a surprising condition. The main factor that determines whether or not Sasaki gets an offer to appear on a TV show is &#8220;whether or not it has a comedic element.</strong></p>
<p>In fact, Sasaki is an unrivaled lover of comedy.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead="His favorite comedians are RG and Yoshio Kojima."></div>
<p>It is also interesting to note that Sasaki&#8217;s favorites are not the most popular comedians of the moment, but rather the more experienced ones such as Razor Ramon RG (48), Yoshio Kojima (42), and Joeyman.</p>
<p><strong> He said, &#8220;We once had Sasaki appear on a comedy special, but the comedians on the special were all so-called &#8216;one-hit wonders&#8217; and the people around COPY00 said, &#8216;We didn&#8217;t have much of a budget for Sasaki, even though he was on the special. I&#8217;m not sure how much money they had to spend on the show. But that&#8217;s not true. It was all at Sasaki&#8217;s request. When I met the comedian, I was nervous, but in the end, he left the studio with a big smile on his face, saying, &#8220;That was fun! He left the studio with a smile on his face.</strong></p>

<p>The comedians that Sasaki likes have one thing in common.</p>
<p>All of them were successful between 2007 and 2009. He started playing baseball when he was 9 years old (2011). Perhaps it was the comedy shows that made him smile before he started baseball.</p>

<p>At the WBC training camp, Sasaki wowed Darvish, a senior baseball player, by saying, &#8220;My fastball, slider, and fork are all great. If he can silence his opponents with his nasty pitches and relax the Japanese national team with his comedic side, he is sure to get a step closer to regaining the V.</p>
