The men in blue for the WBC were announced today, they are mainly minor league umpires and some former major leaguers with a few others from the competing nations. The Japanese haven't settled on an umpire to represent them.

I have a great deal of respect for Japanese baseball and the way it's played. But man do they have some truly bad umpires in that country. You'd be begging to have Joe West umpire all of your team's games after you saw some of the guys in NPB.
