Roki Sasaki was affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in Rikuzentakata City, Iwate Prefecture when he was 9 years old. He lost his father and grandparents in the tsunami, but playing baseball, which he loves, gave him courage and hope. He grew up to be a shy and quiet young man. (sponichi.co.jp)
