Jared Fernandez was a knuckle-ball pitcher who played with Hiroshima in 2007. He's the only one I can think of but there might be others. Hope this helps
Good Luck!

I believe that Chris Oxspring is a knuckle baller who threw for the Hanshin Tigers back in 2006, then went on to throw in Korea for the LG Twins for the following three seasons.
I was also thinking that Eric Junge threw the knuckler, but cannot verify that. He threw for the Orix Buffaloes in 2008, the Hanwha Eagles (Korea) in 2009, and Sinon Bulls (Taiwan) in 2010. Can anybody confirm or rebut Junge throwing the knuckle ball?
