The Yomiuri Giants (読売ジャイアンツ Yomiuri Jaiantsu?) are one of the popular Central League baseball teams based at the Tokyo Dome in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan. The team is often called the "Tokyo Giants" in the American press, but like the Hanshin Tigers and Orix Buffaloes, the team is officially known by the name of its corporate owner rather than the name of the city it plays in. The team's owner is the Yomiuri Group, a media conglomerate which includes two newspapers and a television network. They are regarded as "The New York Yankees of Japan" due to their dominance of the league.

abstract
  • The Yomiuri Giants (読売ジャイアンツ Yomiuri Jaiantsu?) are one of the popular Central League baseball teams based at the Tokyo Dome in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan. The team is often called the "Tokyo Giants" in the American press, but like the Hanshin Tigers and Orix Buffaloes, the team is officially known by the name of its corporate owner rather than the name of the city it plays in. The team's owner is the Yomiuri Group, a media conglomerate which includes two newspapers and a television network. They are regarded as "The New York Yankees of Japan" due to their dominance of the league. The Giants are the oldest professional team in Japan. They won nine Japanese Baseball League titles before the establishment of the two league system in 1950. Starting in 1965, the Giants won nine consecutive Central League pennants and Japan Series titles, in large part because of the hitting of Shigeo Nagashima and Sadaharu Oh. The last Giants pennant was in 2002. The Yomiuri Giants have won more pennants and Japan Series titles than any other team. The team is often referred by fans and in news headlines and tables simply as Kyojin (巨人), Japanese for "Giants", instead of the usual corporate owner's name or the English nickname.
