03.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Hanshin Sealed Its First Back-to-Back Pennant
⌨

A North Korean projectile fell outside Japan's exclusive economic zone in the morning, as Prime Minister Takaichi ordered full readiness. Toyama police searched city hall over suspected census padding on an internal affairs ministry complaint; the mayor apologized and denied pandering over his 'defend 400,000' stance.

A nine-year-old boy died falling from the 23rd-floor balcony of a Harumi tower block, his mother saying he had been moving to the next room. Farm minister Kazuo Yan again dodged questions, calling his remarks personal political activity, as new Komei leader Okamoto withheld judgment.

By evening editors converged on the Hanshin Tigers, who clinched a second straight Central League pennant—the club's first—when the Giants also lost, drawing midnight extras in Osaka. Asian Games coverage ran alongside: Akari Fujinami's 155-match win streak ended in a semifinal loss to a North Korean before taking bronze, as Japan's gold haul set a Games record.
