Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ two-way star, Shohei Ohtani, recently shared a glimpse into his personal life as he introduced his new wife, Mamiko Tanaka, to the public. The couple, who tied the knot in late February, made their first appearance together in a heartwarming photo posted by the Dodgers.
Tanaka, a 27-year-old Japanese basketball star standing at 5-foot-11, most recently played for Fujitsu Red Wave during the 2022-23 season. She is a graduate of Waseda University in Tokyo and was even WNBA draft-eligible, opting to pursue her career in Japan.
Accompanying her husband to Seoul, South Korea, Tanaka will join Ohtani as the Dodgers kick off the 2024 season against their rivals, the San Diego Padres. The couple will be part of the Dodgers’ participation in the 2024 MLB World Tour: Seoul Series, where they will play exhibition games against Korean teams before their season openers.
Ohtani, a two-time MLB MVP, had announced his marriage on social media in late February without revealing his wife’s identity until now. The Dodgers’ recent post and Ohtani’s Instagram story provided fans with a first look at the newlyweds, along with their close friends and teammates.
As Ohtani and Tanaka embark on this new chapter together, their fans and well-wishers eagerly await the start of the 2024 MLB season and the exciting journey ahead for the newlywed couple.
