In baseball, throwing a no-hitter is a pitching accomplishment in which one or more pitchers does not yield a hit in the course of one game.
A no-hitter is rare in NPB, occurring 66 times since Eiji Sawamura's first cycle during the single league era in 1936.
Unlike in Major League Baseball (MLB), combined no-hitters are not considered as official no-hitters by Nippon Professional Baseball.
