The first game of the "Mynavi All-Star Game 2026" was held on Tuesday, July 28th at Tokyo Dome, and Masanori Manami was awarded the Most Valuable Player award for his outstanding performance with 4 hits and 2 RBIs, including the game-winning hit. Manami also won the MVP award in the second game of the 2023 All-Star Game, fully demonstrating his festive spirit. In addition, six players from the Fighters, including starting pitcher Hiroshi Ito, participated in this game and contributed to the Pacific League's victory.

Starting as the leadoff hitter and right fielder, Manami continued to make solid contact with the ball, beginning with a single to center field in his first at-bat. In his second at-bat, he hit a double to right-center field, and in his third at-bat in the fifth inning, he marked a go-ahead RBI single to right field. In the seventh inning, with two outs and a runner on second base, he hit an RBI triple that hit the right field fence, leading the All-Pacific League offense. Manami, who won his second MVP award, added to the excitement of the All-Star Game with a humorous comment: "It's seriously the best. After I hit the go-ahead RBI, I was hoping everyone would make an out. The pitching by the battery was just like in the regular season, and I was really focused."

The Fighters, with five players in the starting lineup, played brilliantly, with Franmil Reyes and Tatsuki Mizuno recording multiple hits. Kotaro Kiyomiya, who came in as a substitute, also made a big impact with a hit.
