Breakfast with Ohtani: In Japan, watching this World Series may be the national pastime
SHARE

Shohei Ohtani has been a household name in Japan for over a decade, but his popularity reached new heights this year. Tatsuo Shinke, the CEO of Mint, a prominent trading card store in Tokyo, noticed a significant change in his mother, Emiko. Despite never being interested in baseball before, Emiko developed a new morning routine of watching Ohtani’s games with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which are aired live in Japan in the mornings. This shift in behavior is emblematic of Ohtani’s widespread appeal across all age groups in Japan.

In the United States, the World Series matchup between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers is highly anticipated, with viewership expected to surpass 20 million per game for the first time since 2016. However, in Japan, the audience is likely to be even larger due to Ohtani’s star power and his historic achievements in Major League Baseball. Ohtani’s talent as a hitter and pitcher has earned him two Most Valuable Player awards, with a third one expected this year, making him a trailblazer in the sport.

Ohtani’s success in the majors has not only earned him a record-breaking $700 million contract but has also elevated his status to that of a cultural icon in Japan. His popularity transcends sports, drawing parallels to legendary figures like Michael Jordan and David Beckham. Ohtani’s impact on Japanese fans is unparalleled, with his games drawing massive viewership and dominating news coverage across the country.

The way Ohtani carries himself on and off the field has endeared him to fans in Japan. His humility, respect for others, and strong work ethic have garnered widespread admiration. Despite his superstar status and wealth, Ohtani remains grounded and relatable to fans, further solidifying his place in the hearts of the Japanese people.

In Japan, Ohtani’s influence extends far beyond the realm of sports. His presence in advertising campaigns, television shows, and daily conversations reflects his status as a national hero. The upcoming World Series is anticipated to draw record viewership in Japan, showcasing Ohtani’s ability to unite and inspire a diverse range of fans.

As Ohtani continues to captivate audiences around the world, his impact on Japanese culture and society remains profound. From elderly retirees to young students, everyone in Japan knows and admires Ohtani for his exceptional talent and humble demeanor. His journey from a rising star to a global icon is a testament to the power of sports in transcending cultural boundaries and uniting people from all walks of life.
