Five years ago, in the summer, Kanashi Agriculture won runner-up at Koshien. In recent years, the situation has continued to decline, and last summer, incidents of violence by upperclassmen against lowerclassmen came to light. He was also given a three-month ban from playing competitive matches. This fall, Kinno won the Akita Prefectural Tournament for the first time in 23 years. What happened from the Kananou whirlwind to the present? Non-fiction author Kei Nakamura conducted the interview. 〈#1 of 4 times〉

He looked down at his juniors playing from the stands and said something prickly.
“It’s completely changed. There’s not even a single person who looks like an idiot.”
The “3-run come-from-behind man” has returned to Kinashiki Farming. Yusuke Takahashi, the No. 6 and First, fired the winning shot into the back screen in the bottom of the 8th inning of the 3rd round against Yokohama in the summer of 2018, when he created a “Kanano whirlwind” and won the national runner-up.
His thick eyebrows and piercing eyes remained the same. And “Kinno Ai” too. The resin band of the Apple Watch wrapped around her left wrist is purple, the color of Kinnong.
Takahashi is a die-hard financial warrior who wears purple cell phone covers, purples when he buys gummies, and even wore purple first mitts during his university days.
This spring, Takahashi graduated from the Faculty of Bioindustry, Tokyo University of Agriculture in Abashiri, Hokkaido, and was assigned to Kinno as a lecturer. At the same time, he became the coach of the baseball team.
The slump in recent years and the violence issue…What’s going on with Kinno?
Since Kaneashi Nogyo finished runner-up at Koshien, they haven’t been able to win at all. Several times in the prefectural tournament, they barely made it to the third round, and most of them lost in the first or second round. In addition, in the summer of 2022, it was revealed that an upperclassman was assaulting a lowerclassman, and he received a severe punishment of being banned from playing external games for three months.
This fall, Kinno won the Akita tournament for the first time in 23 years and advanced to the Tohoku tournament for the first time in a while.
What happened to Kinno?
When I asked my coach, Mototeru Akimoto, after thinking for a while, he said, “Isn’t that Yusuke Takahashi? I think it was a big deal for him to come back.”
I spoke to Takahashi during the first match of the Tohoku Tournament, against Kuji (Iwate) held at Green Stadium Yokote.
However, from the very beginning, Takahashi spoke as he did at the beginning, clearly feeling unsatisfied.
“To put it bluntly, they’re probably good kids. But to me, it looks like they don’t have any desire to improve.”
The reality is that Kinnoh is also “less than its capacity”.
In the summer of 2018, the members, led by ace Teruyoshi Yoshida and others who were part of an “oraora-type” group, seemed to be that way because of a certain project.
