Well I know they made a children's book over Daisuke Naito's life (112 WBC champion), so...

I'm guessing nothing is bigger than baseball in Japan. But it is good to see the sport doing well over there.

No it's not bigger than baseball in japan! Boxing is not even bigger than MMA in japan. I think pride fighting was started in japan. They get some massive crowds for MMA events in Japan.
