The pitcher announced his marriage on his Instagram in the early hours of February 29 (Japan time). In a press conference, he said about his partner, “She’s just an ordinary person. An ordinary Japanese person. I met her for the first time three or four years ago. It’s fun to be with her, and I could somehow imagine being together. We got engaged last year, and she came over here during camp.”
Fans around the world were thrilled by the happy photo of Ohtani and his new wife. Comments poured in, not only in Japanese but also in English, Korean, and other languages. “What a lovely photo!” “They look so happy, it makes me happy too.” “Ohtani’s expression is so gentle.” “His wife’s natural aura suits Ohtani so well!” The comments were overflowing with blessings.
