Hiromi Makihara is a Japanese former pitcher in Nippon Professional Baseball, born on 11 August 1963. He spent a 19-year career with the Yomiuri Giants, one of the best known clubs in Japanese baseball. Over that career he was selected as a Central League All-Star six times and won Rookie of the Year honours in his first seasons. His career is best remembered for a perfect game, in which he retired every batter he faced, one of the rarest feats a pitcher can achieve. The Japanese form of his name is written Makihara Hiromi in the family-name-first order used in Japan.
