While collecting rumors that the man is a "pinch hitter who will 100% lead the game to victory", he appears one after another as a helper during grass-lot baseball games and leads the teams he's playing for straight to victory. Before long, the existence of the substitute hitter reached the ears of Ittetsu Hoshi and Mitsuru Hanagata, and Mitsuru Hanagata's investigation revealed that the substitute hitter was Hyūma Hoshi.

Kyojin no Hoshi (Pilot Film)

**Kyojin no Hoshi (Pilot Film)** (人気マンガの傾向について 巨人の星, Trends in popular manga Kyojin no Hoshi) was a short pilot animation that was 7 minutes and 13 seconds long and in monochrome. It was produced sometime around 1967 or 1968, before the anime series was broadcasted.

## Credits / Staff

### Creator(s)

* Ikki Kajiwara (梶原 一騎)
* Noboru Kawasaki (川崎のぼる)

## Synopsis

The contents of the pilot film contained data and statistics on various popular manga series at the time (1967). There is a narrated synopsis introduction using the original pages from the manga and a few unseen illustrations, and an early animation showcasing the pitching of Hyūma Hoshi (who is wearing his Seiun Highschool baseball uniform).

## Characters

* Hyūma Hoshi
* Akiko Hoshi
* Ittetsu Hoshi
* Mitsuru Hanagata

## Trivia

* The pilot film was included in the 『巨人の星 Special Blu-ray BOX 1』 released by KING RECORDS.
* There appears to be an unused scrapped girl character wearing a school uniform named Yurripe. She never appeared in the manga or anime series. It's possible that she could've been an early potential love interest for the main character, Hyūma Hoshi (or perhaps even a childhood friend of his).
* The animated Hyūma pitching scene is much like the title sequences used in the anime. (Although, the style has been altered, reanimated and is in full-color)
* Supposedly, two animation cels from this pilot have went up for sale on Yahoo! Auctions JP. One of Mitsuru Hanagata wearing his Black Shadows uniform while swinging his bat and Ittetsu Hoshi flipping the table.

Sulphate-reducing bacteria

**Sulfate-reducing microorganisms** (SRM) or **sulfate-reducing prokaryotes** (SRP) are a group consisting of **sulfate-reducing bacteria** (SRB) and sulfate-reducing archaea (SRA) that perform anaerobic respiration using sulfate (SO2-4 ) as a terminal electron acceptor that reduces it to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Therefore, these sulfidogenic microorganisms “breathe” sulfate instead of molecular oxygen (O2), which is the terminal electron acceptor that is reduced to water (H2O) during aerobic respiration.

Most **sulfate-reducing microorganisms** can also reduce some other oxidized inorganic matter. Sulfur compounds such as sulfite (SO2−3), dithionite (S2O2−4), thiosulfate (S2O2−3), trithionate (S3O2−6), tetrathionate (S4O2−6), elemental sulfur (S8) and polysulfides (S2 − n). "Sulfate-reducing microorganisms" can be used in a broader sense (including all species that can reduce any of these sulfur compounds) or in a narrower sense (including only those species that reduce sulfate,and exclude strict thiosulfate and sulfur reducers, for example).

For a change of pace, Hyūma watches a volleyball game.

Kyojin no Hoshi: Chapter 1

**Dai League Ball Training Cast** (大リーグボール養成ギプス) is the first chapter of the Kyojin no Hoshi manga.

## Synopsis

Hyūma Hoshi runs home in anger due to his poor physical performance at school, and along the way, he encounters Akagawa. In an attempt to get Hyūma Hoshi to join his gang, Akagawa belittles Hyūma and his father. Hyūma Hoshi then gets defensive and Akagawa senses a fight is about to happen, so he puts both of his fists up.

Hyūma Hoshi rips his jacket off and reveals the secret training gear (Dai League Ball Training Cast) that he was wearing underneath. As Akagawa watches in shock, he openly mocks the gear in front of him and Hyūma kindly attatches the gear onto Akagawa's own body. Akagawa then cries in pain and struggles to move with the gear on. Hyūma tells Akagawa to keep everything a secret and he takes the gear off Akagawa.

Akagawa quickly runs up a hill and meets up with Mitsuru Hanagata, who drove a vehichle full of other delinquents. Mitsuru Hanagata is a manager of the Black Shadows (a group of delinquent baseball players). Mitsuru applauds Akagawa for being a good scout and takes an interest in Hyūma Hoshi. Mitsuru explains how the equipment works and tries to think of a way to get Hyūma to join his baseball team.

Hyūma Hoshi returns home and takes off the gear. He tells his sister, Akiko, about his horrible day at school and complains about the difficulties that the gear has caused him. Akiko tries to reason with him and begs him to at least keep the gear on when their father is around. Hyūma puts the gear back on and Ittetsu arrives home from work. Ittetsu and Hyūma play catch outside in the neighborhood. The neighbors watch and make fun of them because their skills looked pathetic. Hyūma nearly takes off his shirt to reveal the Dai League Ball Training Cast but Ittetsu Hoshi drags him away and he reminds him of the dream of becoming a Star of the Giants. Mitsuru Hanagata watches from a far and finally comes up with a plan to get Hyūma.

In the early morning, Akiko, Hyūma, and Ittetsu are eating a meal. Akagawa arrives at their doorstep and mentions that the weird training cast that Hyūma let him wear ruined his body. Ittetsu Hoshi, who was reading a newspaper, suddenly slams the newspaper down and loudly shouts out "Hyūma," and proceeds to slap his son and successfully knocks the chabudai over. Ittetsu and Hyūma begin to argue meanwhile Akiko watches in shock. Mitsuru Hanagata overhears the yelling and smiles at the fact that his plan must be working.

Tetsuharu Kawakami

**Tetsuharu Kawakami** (川上 哲治) is a character in the Kyojin no Hoshi series and is based off the real life player.

## Appearances

### Background

Tetsuharu Kawakami is the coach of the Giants baseball team. Many years ago, he once scouted Ittetsu Hoshi to join the team prior to WWII but after the war, he advised Ittetsu to leave because of the disgraceful new pitching method he created and used. He was also involved in Hyūma Hoshi's enrollment test for the Giants team.

In the winter of 1957, he learned of the existence of Ittetsu and his son Hyūma, whom he had not heard from for a very long time. In his relationship with himself, which can be said to be the fate, he warmly watched over both their dreams and gave Hyūma a chance to join the Giants. However, on the surface, he does not show that behavior, and sticks to the attitude of being an extremely strict baseball player.

During his active career, he boasted a lifetime batting average of 30%. From 1961, he took command of the Giants as a manager and led them to 11 Japan Series championships.

## Trivia

* He is based off the real life Yomiuri Giants player, Tetsuharu Kawakami.

## Plot (Brief Summary)

Hyūma, who joined the Giants, will make his first official pitch in the opening game against the Ocean Whales. In the sidelines, the bench gives support for him to avoid pitching because the Whales team sends out Hōsaku Samon on to the batting field as a counter but Hyūma Hoshi, who so desperately wants to believe in his own power, ignores the advice and decides to challenge Hōsaku head-on. Hyūma later on gets defeated with a home run hit by Hōsaku Samon because he had seen through all of Hyūma's weaknesses. After losing the match, Hyūma seeks enlightenment and a new way to win his future matches. While visiting a Zen temple, an old hermit gives him a hint as to what to do. He will then complete the creation of the magicial "Dai League Ball No. 1". (Source: *tms-e.co.jp*)

Heavy Kondara

**Heavy Kondara** (重いコンダラ) is a phrase people heard when listening to the anime's opening song.

## Background

In the song "Yuke! Yuke! Hyūma" the first verse 「思い込んだら / Omoikondara」can be mixed up as 「重いコンダラ」if read in a syllabary reading. The word "コンダラ / Kondara" is slang for "整地ローラー / leveling ground roller" and its usage is believed to be derived from Kyojin no Hoshi.

## Proper usage of the leveling ground roller

Contrary to popular belief, the leveling ground roller is *not meant to be pulled* by the user (like the way Hyūma Hoshi does it in the Kyojin no Hoshi anime) due to the risk of accidental injury or high potential of the user being crushed by the roller itself. The **roller should be only pushed**.

## Trivia

* In the original manga, Hyūma Hoshi never pulled a leveling ground roller. The only time Hyūma pulled the ground roller is in the anime version, near the end of Episode 12 in which the opening song begins to play in the background.
* Hyūma Hoshi incorrectly uses the roller.

## Plot (Brief Summary)

Hyūma Hoshi, who broke his left arm and tragically ended his pitching career at the same time he finally achieved a perfect match, has not been heard from since. Then, five years later, in the summer of 1975, there was a man in the stands who caught a foul ball with his bare hands that Sadaharu Oh had hit during a match of the Nagashima Giants, who had been content with the last place. Hyūma secretly practiced batting deep in the mountains with the aim of becoming a hitter, but with the help of his coach, Big Bill Thunder, his abilities as a right-handed pitcher blossomed. And he returned to the long-awaited mound! (*tms-e.co.jp*)

Marume Futoshi

**Marume Futoshi** (丸目太) is an anime only character in the Shin Kyojin no Hoshi Ⅱ series.

## Profile

### Background

He used to be the one-man captain of Seiun High School's judo club and was often harshly criticizing the school's pathetic baseball team. He initially rebelled against Hyūma Hoshi, who came to the school to give a lecture as an OB. Outside on the school's baseball field, Marume disrupts the baseball teams practice and Hyūma urges him to put on a catcher's uniform and try to catch his ball. Marume accepts and struggles to catch it in his glove but he finally catches it once and faints. Later on, he was invited to watch Hyūma play in a match against China and Japan that night. Eventually, he joined the Giants team and served as a battery as the only catcher who could catch Hyūma's "Mirage Ball". His batting average was shown on TV as ".186 5 hits."

## Trivia

* He has the same type of role as Ban Chūta in the first work and he even looks quite similar to him.

The Blobs

A female blob

**The Blobs** (also known as the Slugs) were the official faces of BBC Three from 2003 up until 2008. A blob’s physical appearance is simple, with no arms or legs to be seen. A typical blob normally has a British male voice, but is sometimes seen with a female tone. Blobs are mostly identified by their voice and clothing, with a female blob normally wearing necklaces and scarfs, with males normally wearing nothing.
Little Britain

**Little Britain** is a British sketch show created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, and aired on BBC Three and BBC One.

The programme consists of exaggerated sketches reflecting modern British life. Each sketch is introduced by Tom Baker, suggesting the programme is a kind of tour-guide aimed at non-Brits.

Despite the narrator's description of "great British institutions", the comedy arises from the British audience's self-deprecating understanding of either themselves or of people known to them. Recurring characters included Andy Pipkin, who falsely presented himself as requiring the use of a wheelchair to gain the attention of his carer Lou Todd; Daffyd Thomas, who claims to be "the only gay in the village" despite much evidence to the contrary; and Vicky Pollard, presented as a working-class chav engaging in anti-social behaviour.
Chabudai Gaeshi

**Table Flip** or **Chabudai Gaeshi** (ちゃぶ台返し) is legendary move performed by Ittetsu Hoshi from the Kyojin no Hoshi series. The act, in which he violently slaps his son, Hyūma Hoshi, and successfully manages to knock the chabudai over, is one the most iconic scenes ever to exist! The move itself is deemed very brutal to perform and only master table flippers such as Ittetsu Hoshi can do it.

**SPOILERS***WARNING! This article contains spoilers!*(*Yuke! Yuke! Hyūma!*)

## Background

The reason for why Ittetsu Hoshi aggressively slaps his son and knocks the table over is explained in the very first chapter of Kyojin no Hoshi manga and Episode 2 of the anime.

Prior to the event, Hyūma Hoshi was forced to wear the Dai League Ball Training Cast everyday and he was strictly told by his father, Ittetsu Hoshi, to never let anyone see the secret training gear. While hanging out away from home on the Tamagawa grounds, he temporarily let a boy named Akagawa wear it (Akagawa was a scout for the Black Shadows baseball team led by Mitsuru Hanagata.) Mitsuru then takes an interest in Hyūma and devises a plan to get him to join his team which involves Akagawa being a messenger. One morning at the Hoshi household, Hyūma, Akiko, and Ittetsu are eating a meal and Akagawa shows up to the residence uninvited. He announces out loud that the weird training cast that Hyūma let him wear has ruined his body. After hearing those words, Ittetsu Hoshi, who was reading a newspaper, suddenly slams the newspaper down and loudly shouts out "Hyūma," and proceeds to slap his son and successfully knocks the chabudai over.

## Trivia

* Contrary to popular belief, Ittetsu Hoshi never actually "flipped the table" in the original manga panel. However, "table flipping" seems to be synonymous with Ittetsu Hoshi as he is shown flipping tables in numerous Kyojin no Hoshi related advertisements, pachinko machines, video games, and etc.
* In the anime series, *the only times where Ittetsu flips a table is twice*, only during Episode 2 and Episode 120 (during a short flashback scene). The exact manga panel where he perfoms the act is redrawn in the anime's style and only appears in the ending credits.
* There is an arcade machine called "Cho Chabudai Gaeshi! Kyojin no Hoshi do konjō-hen" dedicated to this technique and Ittetsu teaches you how it's done.
