Anyone familiar with the Hashin Tigers and their current players autographs?

Picked this signed "Tigers" ball in Vancouver. Looks to be a Hanshin Tigers (Japan) ball with an autograph of #25. Arai Takahiro is listed on one site's roster for the 2010 team.

Any help identifying the signer would be appreciated! Thanks!

Kazuyuki Yamamoto. He was the Fireman of the Year for the Central League in Japan in 1982 and 1984.
