In a post-match interview, Masaya described Emura as a "kind younger brother"[3] for swinging at a pitch that was going to be a ball; had he not swung he would've walked to first base.

[3] By the end of the 2013 season Emura had made 64 appearances for the Marines' first team, finishing with a batting average of .171, 6 runs and 7 RBIs.

[1] He made the most appearances out of the Marines' pool of catchers but was mainly used as a bench player, entering matches to replace veterans Tomoya Satozaki, Takeshi Kanazawa and Ryohei Kawamoto.

[4] In 2014 the Marines' veteran catchers were used less due to age and injury, but Emura appeared in only 44 matches as his role was partly taken over by fellow second-year player Tatsuhiro Tamura and rookie Yuuta Yoshida.

[1] In 2015 Tamura became the Marines' main catcher,[6] limiting Emura to only 14 first-team matches, in which he failed to record a hit in 7 plate appearances.
