With the Mets being one of 30 MLB teams hoping to acquire the rights to Shohei Ohtani, now is a good time to revisit the Mets history with Japanese players.  Suffice it to say, the organization does not have the history some other teams have like the Yankees with Hideki Matsui or the Mariners with Ichiro Suzuki or Kazuhiro Sasaki, the Mets have found Japanese players who have been good contributors to the club.

In total, the Mets have had 13 Japanese players in their history.  Can you name them?  Good luck!
