The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a theory. Something to do with the sun always being in their eyes? That's why its on the flag right?

Here's the caption they attached to this picture on their website.

Atlanta Brave Kenshin Kawakami paid a visit to the Japanese language school in Mableton. Ninety percent of the students there are from Japan and trying to adapt to U.S. culture. Kawakami posed for group photo with the entire school. (The glare led to lots of squinting.)
