Gibson Jr., Joe
Summary
As the son of Joe Gibson, Junior shares the same age as Goro. His parents divorced when his mother could no longer endure life in Japan, preferring to return to America while Joe Gibson chose to stay in the country to pitch until he could make amends for the incident involving Goro’s father, Honda. Junior remained in Japan with his father. After his mother and sister perished in a traffic accident in the United States, Junior developed deep resentment toward both his father and the late Honda. This animosity became the primary fuel for his baseball career, as he was driven by a desire to defeat his father. A highly skilled switch hitter capable of batting from both sides of the plate, Junior has played for the AAA Oklahoma Falcons, the MLB team Texas Raiders, and the USA Team during the Baseball World Cup. He typically fields third base and serves as Goro’s rival.
