From here, I will explain the feature of cheering of the professional baseball team of present age. I think that I will describe the professional baseball team which has the feature in cheering one by one.

First, I want to talk about the cheering of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp which is the originator of baseball cheering. A characteristic thing in cheering of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp is the cheering which took in the squat. The cheering has the style which is that spectators up who stand, and spectators who squat down exist at same rate, and send encouragement by turns.

The cheering using the vinyl umbrella of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows is also a traditional cheering style. Mr. Okada The head of the cheering team of the Kokutetsu Swallows which is the forerunner of the Tokyo Yakult Swallows proposed the cheering using a vinyl umbrella. Mr. Okada is a person who invested private fortune and has supported Yakult. It is that the reason for having used the umbrella for cheering is because that it thought that we could cheer using close things. Moreover, in order to heap up spectators, Mr. Okada also proposed singing Tokyo Ondo.

The feature of cheering of the Saitama Seibu Lions is that a spectator moves freely while they cheer. The fixed seat is not prepared for the Seibu dome which is headquarters of the Saitama Seibu Lions. The spectators who are in the outfield seat take up position in the ground by covering with an independent sheet: a vinyl seat. Therefore, spectators can move freely while they cheer. Moreover, the Saitama Seibu Lions took in the cheering using the small flag.
