The 1986 Japan Series was the 37th professional baseball Japan Championship Series, held from October 18 to October 27, 1986, between the Central League champions Hiroshima Toyo Carp and the Pacific League champions Seibu Lions. The match was between the Seibu Lions, led by manager Mori Mitsuaki, and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, led by manager Anan Junro. Both Mori and Anan were in their first year as managers, and the match was between two teams that had both been victorious in tough championship battles until the end of the season, with Seibu facing Kintetsu and Hiroshima facing the Giants. The designated hitter system had been introduced to the Japan Series the previous year, but as it was played every other year, there was no designated hitter system this year.
