Bandou, Shinichi

坂東真一

Shinichi is the fourth patient in Kuchu Buranko. He has been a professional baseball player for the Swallows team for 14 years. He visits Ichirou as a patient because he can no longer seem to throw a ball straight. He was a very popular player who appeared in the news and magazines many times, but recently a new player on the team has taken the spotlight from him.
He also appears constantly in other episodes, either on TV or in magazines.
