Wikipedia says this:
Hiroki Kuroda (born February 10, 1975) is a professional baseball player from Osaka, Japan. He is a starting pitcher for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. He led the league with a 1.85 ERA in 2006, solidifying his reputation as one of the best pitchers in Japan. In a six year period (1999-2005), Kuroda lead the Central League in complete games.
He joined the Japanese olympic baseball team for the 2004 Summer Olympics, and won a bronze medal. He was also chosen to play in the 2006 WBC, but was unable to participate in the competition due to an injury.
So, he's one of Japan's best pitchers and he'll be 33 years old next year.
