Shohei Ohtani (30-Japan), one of the most famous baseball players in the world, has been getting a lot of attention from the Japanese public after he unveiled his wife for the first time during a trip to Seoul. After footage of the couple's arrival was released on Friday, Ohtani's team cameraman released a behind-the-scenes photo taken at Incheon Airport. "It's like a scene from a movie," Japanese netizens commented.
On the 16th, SooHoo, a cameraman for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB), posted a photo of the Dodgers players arriving in South Korea the day before on his social media.
In the photo, Ohtani and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, 28, are smiling for the camera as they walk down the airport escalator together.
Another photo shows the two smiling as they sit next to each other on the plane to Seoul.
The couple was also seen taking a commemorative photo in front of an airplane bound for Seoul. Ohtani first revealed his wife's face on Aug. 15, when he posted a photo on his Instagram with a plane leaving Phoenix, Arizona, for South Korea in the background. It appears to be another photo from the same location.
Other photos show Ohtani chatting happily with his 카지노 coworkers.
Japanese netizens were intrigued by the couple's affectionate behavior. Previously, Otani and his wife had been photographed walking through Terminal 1 at Incheon International Airport, but they kept a bit of distance. Ohtani would walk ahead and his wife would follow a few steps behind. Netizens commented, "You can feel the couple's happiness," "It's like a scene from a movie," and "Just looking at them makes me happy."
Ohtani's wife, Tanaka, is a former basketball player. His former team, the Fujitsu Red Wave, said, "We sincerely congratulate Tanaka, who has energized many people with her performance on the team, on her new start, and wish her and Otani a wonderful new stage in life."
When asked about his wife at a press conference at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Saturday, Ohtani said, "It's the first time we've traveled overseas together since we got married," and added, "I think it will be a really good memory for both of us."
Meanwhile, the Dodgers and San Diego Padres, who are in Korea for the MLB opener, will play practice games against the Kiwoom Heroes and the Korea National Baseball Team on Sunday. On the 18th, the LG Twins, San Diego, the Korean National Baseball Team, and the Dodgers will play scrimmages. On the 20th and 21st, the official opening games will be played between the Dodgers and San Diego.
