What would be some good gifts for a Japanese 13 year-old boy?

Q. I live in Baltimore, Maryland and a 13-year old boy from Kawasaki, Japan is staying at my house for 2 and a half weeks. I need to get him several gifts, but unfortunately I don't know anything else about him. Does anyone know any general gift ideas? Would something Baltimore-themed be good, or tacky?

A. That's a tough one... typical japanese boys of those age nowadays are into games and mangas of their own country.

If you can at least find out what sort of sports he follows, it would make things little easier. Like, if he follow baseball, then something to do with Ichiro (Seattle Mariners), Daisuke Matsuzaka (Boston Red Sox), or any of the Japanese baseball players would be good. If he follow football, then something to do with David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy) might be cool.
