Akiyama is great, he was also the best manager in NPB (IMO) for several years, though for some reason he retired quite young. I lived in Fukuoka when he was the Hawks manager (taking over after Sadaharu Oh retired) and watching his teams play was the most exciting time I've ever had as a baseball fan as they were constantly dominating the PL and won the Japan Series in his final season.
He also arguably had the best hair of any player to ever take the field. I'm not a BBM collector but I have to admit to liking the colorful designs of that 1993 set.
