The purpose of this study is to clarify the power relation that exists in so-called "Japanese Sports"-the Features of which are spiritualism and groupism-through exploring the foundation process of the Japan Student Baseball Association (JSBA) and the ideals laid out in the Charter of Student Baseball (Gakusei Yakyu Kensho, CSB) in the postwar era. This paper is organized in the following way. First, I will analyze the idea of BUSHIDO-YAKYU-RON as asserted by TOBITA SUISHU, the father of student baseball, in the postwar era. Second, the foundation process and ideas of the JSBA and CSB is examined. Finally the reasons why these theories that treated sport as a form of moral education spread among Japanese people are analyzed from within their social context. The conclusion of this paper is as follows. 1. The aim of TOBITA's BUSHID-YAKYU-RON was to reconstruct a chaotic Japanese Society through moral education in baseball. The Ministry of Education delegated the supervision of sport to each sport association, but decided that the aim of sport should be moral education. 3. JSBA also recognized the purpose of student baseball as moral education, and legitimated it as CSB. 4. Many Japanese people accepted the aim of sport as the ideal of reconstructing Japanese society and preventing juvenile delinquency. 5. Student baseball as a "Japanese Sport" was (and is) compelled not only from the topdown, but through a social consensus. 6. The ideals of CSB were designed by Japanese, and excluded "foreign" people in Japan.
