It matched the Central League champion Hiroshima Toyo Carp against the Pacific League champion Seibu Lions. The series is notable for being the only time in Japan Series history that an eighth game was played. After a tie in the first game, the Carp won the next three games. However, the Lions would respond by winning the next four in a row to capture their sixth Japan Series championship and their third title in five years.
