His personal story is an interesting one, as an outsider in Japan (his parents had moved there when he was a boy) he never felt as though he fit in until he starred for Tokyo. Then, during the war, he was not allowed to play and was under house arrest (I believe, though he may have been sent to a camp). Though he came back after the war, he was once again an outsider.

I became interested in Starffin after I read his story, too. I've added him to my Pat O'Farrell universe, and as a 19-year-old, he's already pitching fairly well in the major leagues.
I'll make sure to provide some Starffin updates, and possibly work him into a storyline or two.
