Last Tuesday was Shugo Maki of the Baystars' 28th birthday and he celebrated the same way he had two other times in his career - he hit a home run. Maki also homered on his birthday in both 2022 and 2024. Maki's rookie season was 2021 so he's hit home runs on half of his birthdays that he's spent in NPB. And, to be fair, the Baystars were off on his birthday in 2025 so he's really done three of five possible times. Given that he appears to have only been doing it in even numbered years, I'd expect him to do it again in 2028.
Here's a card of Maki from the 2021 BBM Baystars set (#DB71):
