Background

The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are one of Japan’s most successful and popular professional baseball teams, competing in the Pacific League of the NPB. Founded in 1938 as the Nankai Club, the team has a storied history of dominance, particularly since moving to Fukuoka in 1989. The Hawks entered the 2026 season as the defending 12-time Japan Series champions (most recently in 2025), a testament to their reputation as the “dynasty” of modern Japanese baseball. Under the leadership of their star-studded roster—including power hitters like Kensuke Kondoh and Yuki Yanagita—the team is known for its high-octane offense and a deep pitching rotation that makes them a perennial title threat.

A game at the Mizuho PayPay Dome is a high-energy cultural spectacle that transcends the sport itself. Fans are treated to unique Japanese baseball traditions, such as the Lucky 7 ritual where thousands of yellow jet balloons are released into the air (or waved in synchronized displays) to the team’s fight song. The stadium experience is further enhanced by the “Beer Girls” (uriko) who navigate the stands with kegs on their backs and the passionate cheering sections in the outfield that lead synchronized chants for every player. In 2026, the team continues its tradition of major fan events, including “Pink Full Day” in May and the innovative “Hawks Festival SUMMER BOOST,” which expanded to Tokyo for the first time this year.
