Chiba Jets Funabashi star Yuki Togashi has become a "Million Dollar Man."
The diminutive point guard became the first Japanese player to earn an annual salary of over ¥100 million ($923,000), the B. League club announced at a Tokyo news conference on Monday night.
Jets president Shinji Shimada said Togashi will earn at least that amount with his base salary and may earn more from performance-based incentives.
