According to a report by Japanese media Jcast News on the 6th, a video showing a fan of the Japanese professional baseball Yokohama jumping into the Katavira River near Yokohama Station has spread to SNS.

The man, who is believed to be a fan of Yokohama, jumped into the Katabira River on the 3rd. It was the day when Game 6 of the Japanese professional baseball series between Yokohama and Softbank was held at Yokohama Stadium. Yokohama won the series 11-2 and won the series with a total of 4 wins and 2 losses. It was the first Japanese series victory in 26 years since 1998. It seems that the fan jumped into the river because he was so excited about the victory for the first time in a long time.

On this day, a considerable number of police officers were deployed near Yokohama Station to prevent any fans from jumping into the river. A fan jumped through the boundary. The police advised not to jump in because there is a risk of life.안전놀이터

It reminds us of the Japanese Hanshin fans. Hanshin won the Japan Series for the first time in 38 years in 2023. At that time, some fans jumped into the Dotonbori River.

In Osaka, the home of the Hanshin Tigers, there is a tradition of diving into the Dotonbori River when something to celebrate. When the team won the Japan Series in 1985, numerous people also dived. Finally, he robbed a KFC mannequin modeled after the founder of the KFC store near the Dotonbori River. As the year of the team's failure to win the title, by coincidence, the term "Curse of Cornell Sanders" came to be. Eventually, in 2009, there was a funny happening in which the mannequin was pulled from the bottom of the river.

Last year, problems with the water quality of the Dotonbori River also emerged, raising concerns about health.

Then, what was the water quality of the Katabira River? The media reported that a person in charge of the environmental management department of the Yokohama City Environment Bureau measured on the 6th and found that it does not affect health.
