Reactions to Otani’s wife Mamiko when he was interviewed
His subtle gestures are attracting attention. Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani joined his wife Mamiko on the 16th (17th Japan time) at the annual red carpet show for the MLB All-Star Game held in Arlington, Texas. While being interviewed by the Japanese and American media, the way Mrs. Mamiko took a step back is seen as “a thoughtful act.”
Otani wore a beige suit with his dog Dekopin printed on the lining, while his wife Mamiko appeared in a white dress. The two walked down the red carpet holding hands as they responded to the cheers of their fans.
Afterwards, Otani answered interviews with the Japanese and American media. Then, Mrs. Mamiko, perhaps worried about Otani’s “working method”, took a step back and quietly watched her husband as he interviewed him. Fans who saw this scene praised her, saying, “She is very thoughtful,” Mamiko is very beautiful,” “Mamiko has more fans,” and “Mamiko always keeps a low profile and she stands for her husband without getting in the way.”
Otani will start as the No. 1 designated hitter. 2 of the National League in the All-Star Game that day. He is the second Japanese fielder to be in the starting lineup for four consecutive years, after Ichiro. He is the second Japanese player to hit a home run after Ichiro in 2007, and has high expectations to be the MVP.
