Hiroshima Carp's "kamitteru" feat shines as Japan's 2016 top buzzword

Seiya Suzuki (R), an outfielder of Japan's Hiroshima Carp baseball club, speaks at an award ceremony at a hotel in Tokyo on Dec. 1, 2016, after "kamitteru," a coined word that means being godlike or superhuman, which was used to describe the team's feat this season, was chosen as this year's top buzzword. Hiroshima manager Koichi Ogata used the term in June when he described Suzuki's performance as "kamitteru" after the outfielder hit sayonara home runs, or walk-off home runs, in two consecutive games against the Orix Buffaloes.
