Tetsuya Yamamoto (hereinafter: Yamamoto)Certainly, it was a national high school before that, and our older generation also participated in Koshien, but that was the time when it really started to get stronger. I think one of the factors is the existence of coach Ogura (Kiyoichiro).

I had experience as a coach at Yokohama High School (I became a coach of the Yokohama High School baseball club in 1977, but resigned in a year), and after that I was a coach at Y school (Yokohama Commercial High School). I returned to Yokohama High School.

From there, he strengthened Yokohama High School and retired as a coach in 2014. Then, in 2015, Director Watanabe retired, and Hirata (Toru) became the director, and the times changed. After that, I heard that coach Ogura was sought after by amateurs from all over the country and is now a coach at Yamanashi Gakuin High School.
