Joe Gibson Jr. is the same age as Goro. When his parents divorced because his mother could not stand life in Japan, while Gibson wanted to stay in Japan pitching until he figured out how to make up for the incident with Goro's father, Honda, Junior remained with his father in Japan. After his mother and sister died in a traffic accident in America, Junior grew resentful toward his father and the deceased Honda. His drive to play baseball was fueled by a desire to defeat his father. He is an extremely talented batter, capable of hitting from both sides as a switch hitter. He played for the AAA Oklahoma Falcons, the MLB team Texas Raiders, and the USA Team during the Baseball World Cup. He typically plays third base and is Goro's rival.
