One Outs (ワンナウツ, Wannautsu) is a Japanese baseball manga series by Shinobu Kaitani originally serialized in the seinen manga magazine Business Jump from 1998 to 2006. It was relaunched in Business Jump on October 1, 2008.[1] An anime adaptation by Madhouse began airing on October 7, 2008.[2][3]

Plot

Hiromichi Kojima, the star batter of the Lycaons, heads to Okinawa to train and bring himself out of a slump. There, he meets Toua Tokuchi, a 110~128 km/h (68~80 mph) pitcher and the undisputed king of a gambling form of baseball called "One Outs". After Tokuchi fails to strike out Kojima in the gamble, Kojima gets Tokuchi to join the Lycaons. His contract, the 'One Outs contract', differs from the usual, though, in that he gets 5,000,000 yen for every out he pitches, but loses 50,000,000 yen for every run he gives up.

Characters

Primary characters

Toua Tokuchi (渡久地 東亜, Tokuchi Tōa)
Voiced by: Masato Hagiwara
Toua is a successful gambler and a pitcher in the game called "One Outs". After losing a game of One Outs for the first time ever to Kojima, he joins the Lycaons with an odd contract, the One Outs contract, that decides Toua's pay based on his performance. As the Lycaons' famed star pitcher, he can pitch entire games without giving up a single hit.
Hiromichi Kojima (児島 弘道, Kojima Hiromichi)
Voiced by: Tsutomu Isobe
Kojima is the cleanup batter for the professional baseball team, Saikyou Saitama Lycaons. He is defeated by Toua during his time at the training camp after challenging Toua to avenge his relief pitcher, Nakane. After his defeat, he goes into the forest to train himself mentally against Toua but as he trained he injured his wrist. Even with the injury, he decides to challenges Toua to a rematch with the bet that if he wins, he would take Toua's hand. With the One Outs game ending in a do or die pitch, Kojima resolves that he couldn't lose, getting in the way of the ball and making the pitch count as a deadball. He wins the match because of this, albeit not without contention. Toua admits defeat and Kojima makes Toua join the Lycaons, effectively taking Toua's hand and disabling him from gambling ever again in a One Outs game.
