Satou Hikaru, the transfer student from the United States, is actually the son of Satou Takuya, the eternal friend and Major League teammate of Daigo's father, Goro!
Right away, Hikaru asks Daigo about advice for joining a local baseball team, but being Daigo, being completely off-put by baseball, gives Hikaru a rude answer.
That evening, Daigo's mother, Kaoru, receives a request for help from the Dolphins' manager, Fujii: "We don't have enough players for the practice match this weekend, can we borrow Daigo?"
You know, we went to the same 
kindergarten and the same grade school,
،كنّا نرتاد نفس الحضانة ونفس المدرسة الابتدائية
Wir waren ja im selben Kindergarten
und derselben Grundschule,
Estamos en la misma escuela
desde preescolar y primaria,
Vamos a la misma escuela
desde preescolar y primaria,
On est dans la même école
depuis la maternelle,
Sai, siamo stati a scuola insieme
sia all'asilo che alle elementari,
Sabe, sempre estivemos juntos
na escola, desde o jardim e o primário,
Знаешь, мы ведь ходили сначала
в один детский сад, потом в одну школу,
