is a Japanese professional baseball infielder, playing for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. ==Early baseball career== Hojo started playing baseball in 4th grade at elementary school, and joined the All-Sayama Boys baseball club when he started at Mikita Junior High School. He then entered Kosei Gakuin High School, a known baseball powerhouse in Aomori Prefecture.〔 On his sophomore year, he appeared in the 2011 Summer Koshien, where he contributed 8 RBIs (highest in team history), helping his team make it all the way to the championship round. They finished as the runner-up however, when they were blanked by Nichidai-san High (11-0). During the Autumn Invitational Tournament of the same year, he batted at an average of 0.455, and racked up 7 RBIs including a lone homerun, helping his team win the championship. In the following year's Summer Koshien, he recorded 4 homeruns as the team's 4th batter during the entire tournament, 2 of which were hit in 2 consecutive at-bats. This feat of hitting 4 homeruns in one tournament was last accomplished by former Yomiuri member Kazuhiro Kiyohara in 1985. In the tournament's final round, his team battled with pitching sensation and soon-to-be Tigers teammate Shintaro Fujinami of Osaka Toin High, but Kosei was once again denied the championship when they failed to score a single run (3-0). Nevertheless, due to his consistent performance at the plate which helped brought his team to 3 consecutive tournament championship rounds, 29 RBIs in all of his Koshien appearances (the most in Koshien history, tied with Kiyohara), and a total of 25 homeruns in his entire high school career, Hojo caught the attention of baseball scouts. He also participated in the 2012 18U(AAA) Baseball World Championship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fumiya Hojo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
