What is the most popular sport in Japan?

Baseball was introduced to Japan from America in the late19th century. Writing "wild ball" in Japanese characters is one of the most popular sports in Japan at present. From elementary school to college, even people who work have corresponding baseball leagues.

As a rising star, Koshien, a college baseball league, is held once a year and is very popular in Japan. Every season, the Koshien stadium is naturally packed inside and outside. Players who perform well in the Koshien baseball finals are usually snatched away by major Japanese balls and awarded high salaries, so many baseball players are rising all the way and prospering. For the players, the Koshien final is undoubtedly the "jumping dragon gate" of baseball. In order to let children leap into this dragon gate, Japanese parents also invest heavily in training.
