Taisei Makihara (牧原 大成, Makihara Taisei; born October 15, 1992), nicknamed "King JOKER", is a Japanese professional baseball infielder for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). King JOKER's nickname comes from his utility player playing style, which allows him to play every defensive position except pitcher and catcher, every batting position in the starting lineup, and even as a pinch hitter and pinch runner, making him a trump card for the team.
