List of Nippon Professional Baseball no-hitters
This article is about Nippon Professional Baseball no-hitters. For information on the accomplishment proper, see No-hitter.
Eiji Sawamura threw the first two no-hitters in Nippon Professional Baseball history.
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 Fumio Fujimura's first cycle during the single league era in 1948. In terms of frequency, the cycle is roughly as common as a no-hitter (89 occurrences in NPB history)

Michio Nishizawa was the first player to throw a no-hitter for the Nagoya Baseball Club.
In 2012, Toshiya Sugiuchi became only the second pitcher to throw a no-hitter in an interleague game.
Takayuki Kishi is the most recent player to throw a no-hitter in Nippon Professional Baseball, doing so in 2014.
