The 1958 Japan Series was the championship series of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the season. The ninth edition of the Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff that matched the Pacific League champion Nishitetsu Lions against the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants. The Lions won the series in seven games in a dramatic comeback that saw them lose the first three games before winning the next four, which included a walk off hit in Game 5 after trailing by a run in the 9th inning. They became the first NPB team to overcome a 3–0 series deficit. It was the first and only time a team recovered from a 3–0 series deficit until the 1986 Japan Series.
