On 5.18.1969, Kinetetsu Buffaloes 1B Jim Gentile hit a homer, but pulled a muscle and collapsed on his way to first base. He would crawl to first and be substituted for a pinch runner. Thus, he would become the only player in NPB history with fewer runs scored (7) than Home Runs (8)

On 8/18/1974, to avoid Kintetsu Buffaloes 1B Clarence Jones, Nippon-Ham Fighters starter Naoki Takahashi was moved to 3rd base, before being moved back to the mound after Jones walked. Takahashi would finish the game and became the only pitcher to get the Win and the Save in the same game.
