Osamu Mihara (三原 脩, Mihara Osamu; November 21, 1911 – February 6, 1984) was a professional Japanese baseball player and manager. Mihara played for a few years for The Great Japan Tokyo Baseball Club/Tokyo Kyojin. After serving as a private in the Japanese Army during World War II, he became a manager of the Giants from 1947 to 1949. He became manager of the Nishitetsu Lions in 1951. He led them to their first league pennant in 1954, where they lost in the Japan Series to the Chunichi Dragons. They returned to the Series in 1956 in what became the first of three consecutive league pennants, all of which resulted in victories in the Japan Series. He departed the team after the 1959 season to coach the Taiyō Whales. In his first season with the team, he led them to their first ever Japan Series by winning the Central League pennant, making him the first manager to win multiple league pennants. In the Japan Series, they prevailed in a four-game sweep over the Daimai Orions to win their first championship. It was the last of four Japan Series titles for Mihara. While he managed the team for seven more years, the Whales never returned to the Japan Series. He concluded his managerial career with brief stints for the Kintetsu Buffaloes and the Yakult Atoms before his career ended in 1973. Mihara was well known for his penchant for playing percentage baseball to his own type of logic that often was called "Mihara magic", which most notably could see him take a player who was 3-for-3 out of the game because he figured the odds were that the hitter would not get another hit. Often called one of the best Japanese managers of all time, he was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.

Kenkichi Oshima (大島 鎌吉, Ōshima Kenkichi; November 10, 1908 – March 30, 1985) was a Japanese triple jumper who won a bronze medal at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He was the flag bearer for Japan at the 1936 Games in Berlin. Ōshima was born in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. While still a student, he set a new unofficial world record for the triple jump, and was widely expected to secure the gold medal in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. However, Ōshima suffered from severe burns in a bathing accident shortly before the start of the Olympics, and was not in the best form for the competition. He finished third with a jump of 15.12 meters behind the teammate Chuhei Nambu who took gold. Ōshima also participated in the same event in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, but came in sixth place, while teammates Naoto Tajima and Masao Harada took the gold and silver medals, respectively. Fluent in the German language, during the Berlin Olympics, Ōshima had a 20-minute interview of Adolf Hitler, who apparently mistook Ōshima for a Japanese military attache of the same surname. Ōshima asked Hitler many questions on Nazi initiatives to improve on the physical education of German youth. After graduation from Kansai University, Ōshima was employed by the Mainichi Shimbun, working as a reporter in the sports section of the newspaper until retirement. He then accepted the post of professor emeritus and later vice president of Osaka University of Health and Sport Sciences, where he undertook reforms of the athletic department to strengthen the Japanese team in preparation for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. He was also an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee and an author of numerous books on sports.

Maeda Nobuaki (前田 陳爾; 22 November 1907 – 3 July 1975) was a Japanese professional 9 dan go player, a disciple of Honinbo Shusai, and a member of the Nihon Ki-in, the main organizational body for go in Japan. His own disciples were Norio Kudo, Yusuke Oeda, Shioiri Itsuzo, Nagahara Yoshiaki, and Morikawa Masao. Maeda reached the highest professional rank, 9 dan, in 1963, but never achieved the consistent record of tournament success that marks the truly elite player. Maeda is famous today principally for his series of tsume-go (problem) collections, which gained him the honorary nickname "god of tsume-go." It is said that he composed a problem a day for 40 years. Many of these problems are considered especially beautiful, ingenious, or instructive. Maeda is also remembered for his presumed role in one of the most sensational and controversial games of the 20th century: the 1933 challenge game between his teacher, Honinbo Shusai, and the Chinese prodigy Go Seigen (Wu Qingyuan). It has long been believed that the exquisite move (W160) that allowed Shusai to overturn Go's lead in the game was actually discovered by Maeda in a study session during one of the game's many adjournments. Maeda at times hinted that this was the case, but in later years would neither confirm nor deny it when asked. It may be assumed that if Maeda was indeed the author of the move, he would decline to confirm it in order to honor the long-standing Japanese professional tradition of respect for one's teacher, thus preserving Shusai's reputation.
