Shohei, I adore your skillset and you are a unicorn on the baseball diamond.
You are also incredibly wealthy, between your contract and your endorsements.
You can certainly afford a suit that fits better than that one.
And he plays in LA! The fashion capital of the West Coast!
Like, [have Mookie's guys hook you up.](https://www.gq.com/story/dodgers-mookie-betts-profile) That man knows how to dress.
Shohei was going to the *Stop Making Sense* screening afterwards.
*Ha, who took the money?, Who took the money away? Ha, ha, ha, ha, it's always Sho-time Here at the edge of the stage.*
That suit looks like the one you buy for a 16 year old because they are gonna "grow into it". He looks fat facially too. Maybe he was drinking a bunch this offseason?
Going to a tailor is time that he could spend thinking about baseball. I’m honestly surprised he got married I just assumed any human interaction steals precious batting cage time.
The jacket is double-breasted and he has it unbuttoned, meaning there's a lot of extra material flapping around there. DBs are not meant to be left open like that.
As for the rest, Ohtani is built like a beast and likely didn't want this suit painted on, so you'll see a little movement in the cloth. We're past the days of men wearing everything like they're jeggings.
5’11 his wife is mamiko tanaka, a former undrafted (in the wnba) PF/Center who just retired after a whopping 4 year career with the Fujitsu Red Wave probably because her husband is about to be a billionaire lol
I mean she was a professional basketball player in Japan. Not sure why the headline says Normal Japanese Woman Wife. Is being a former professional athlete normal now?
I wouldn't call a professional basketball player normal, being that most people aren't athletes, and most athletes aren't professional. Even if she plays in a bottom tier pro league she's not average. Plus she's cute and probably does that thing he likes 🤣
Edit: I didnt realize shohei himself discribed her as normal. He's a freak of nature, he makes other top tier pros look normal so I can see it coming from him lol. She's probably just modest and he likes a slower lifestyle, nothing wrong with that
He’s wearing an off the rack suit. It fits across the shoulders. That’s key so it is the right size from that perspective. Whoever sold it to him did him an injustice by not shortening the sleeves and taking in the jacket at the back. Hard to tell if it needs taking in because it’s a double breasted suit and it should be buttoned up.
You don’t need to know everything about suits. Give yourself a pat on the back. You’re 💯. I get paid to wear a suit. He gets paid for other things.
It’s a really odd look for him, given the images I have seen of him outside of baseball. I’d have thought his agent would talk to him about image and a stylist. This picture proved he’s no David Beckham.
As a point of clarification, she’s a Japanese former [professional basketball player](https://time.com/6957230/shohei-ohtani-wife-mamiko-tanaka-basketball-player-revealed/)…not exactly a “normal person.”
Why does the word normal need to be used? Is he not suppose to have a normal wife? Is Mike Trouts wife not normal? How about Kershaw or any other MLB player? What makes her normal, do you know her?
TIL Shohei shares a tailor with Michael Jordan
All he needs now is ONE hoop earring
"And I took that personally"
That's the Key.
He can’t afford better because of the deferred salary and all
And he had the rest stolen by his interpreter.
You mean Large Denim Icon Michael Jordan?
No, the other Michael Jordan, Haynes underwear
Nah man, he stole that jacket from Yao
Looks more like David Byrnes jacket to me
Under appreciated comment
Shohei, I adore your skillset and you are a unicorn on the baseball diamond. You are also incredibly wealthy, between your contract and your endorsements. You can certainly afford a suit that fits better than that one.
Looks like a suit you’d see from a 90s nba draft
Carmelo approves
Where does the suit end, and Perk begin? 🤣
It was a nice TJ Ford sighting.
"Boxy Boyz"
Steve Harvey ahh suit
I too saw this commercial spammed last night during the knicks game
What a pro wants
🔥🔥🔥
Maybe he's a big Talking Heads fan
Stop making sense
Finally, we found something Shohei is bad at
That and picking translators.
And periodically signing into his online checking account.
THIS. This looks like what I looked like trying on my dad’s suits when I was a kid.
And he plays in LA! The fashion capital of the West Coast! Like, [have Mookie's guys hook you up.](https://www.gq.com/story/dodgers-mookie-betts-profile) That man knows how to dress.
He’s just trying to emulate MJ. GOAT stuff.
Shohei was going to the *Stop Making Sense* screening afterwards. *Ha, who took the money?, Who took the money away? Ha, ha, ha, ha, it's always Sho-time Here at the edge of the stage.*
🎶 *I've got a woman wife, she's better than that*
She’s got pine tar in her eyes…
The suit is from the new Nike line of suits to go with their jerseys....
Not an excuse to not get it tailored
The concerning thing is he is popular enough to just make that look a thing.
He's only making 2 million dollars this year, cut him some slack.
And he gave 5 million to the bookie. Hes in debt! Had to borrow his dads suit
That suit has enough slack already
“I borrowed a suit from my dad!”
He’s wearing his Billie Eilish cosplay
He had $16m stolen, maybe it was from his suit fund.
Ippei was in charge of suit fitting and the suit money came from one of the accounts he managed.
Looks like he bought it when he weighed 300 lbs.
That suit looks like the one you buy for a 16 year old because they are gonna "grow into it". He looks fat facially too. Maybe he was drinking a bunch this offseason?
And idk get it dry cleaned or at least iron it.
You don't even have to do it yourself, have the hotel concierge handle it!
Going to a tailor is time that he could spend thinking about baseball. I’m honestly surprised he got married I just assumed any human interaction steals precious batting cage time.
Shohei don't care. Shohei hit ball home, throw ball home, score home.
Had me in the first half considering the topic of this thread 😂
H&M baby
I bet he does
Dude's stealing TD's wardrobe
Fucking Ippei ordering off the rack suits
Nah he just lost 16 mil he’s gotta save up
It’s crazy how a poorly fitting suit makes a big, athletic, in shape dude look like some frumpy dad taking his wife out to anniversary dinner.
What if he needs to warm up at the drop of a hat? Can't do it in a tight suit. You never know when Shohei is called into action.
The jacket is double-breasted and he has it unbuttoned, meaning there's a lot of extra material flapping around there. DBs are not meant to be left open like that. As for the rest, Ohtani is built like a beast and likely didn't want this suit painted on, so you'll see a little movement in the cloth. We're past the days of men wearing everything like they're jeggings.
Okay, explain away the wrinkly, cheap plastic fabric
Nah. Look at the shoulders. It's at least one size too big.
Painted on isn't the only alternative to having a suit that remotely fits you.
He was betting people wouldn’t notice that large of a suit
Shohei Ohtani is 6’4” She must be a very tall Japanese woman wife
Title says normal
Woman wife
This is why punctuation is important.
I don’t see how that would help in this situation.
Woman-wife
Is that somehow better? Is this a normal term?
No
Let’s eat, Timmy. Let’s eat Timmy. You are correct.
Punctuation would not help whatsoever. That's just good old fashion title gore
She is 7'4 but is bent at the knees and shohei on tippy toes This is normal in Japan
His Normal Japanese Woman Wife happens to be a professional basketball player. They normally come with some height.
How does a 6'4 multimillionaire end up with a jacket 4 sizes too big?
Ippei was supposed to take that jacket to the tailor.😆
He gambled away the wardrobe budget.
So now shohei has to shop at the salvation army for the 2000's NBA players suits.
Good. Someone else noticed.
Homage to 2000s ichiro
Yes! It’s a throw back series to the 90s NBA drafts.
She's a professional basketball player, so yes, she's very tall, and not that "normal" in Japan.
She's a professional basketball player
She plays basketball
She’s 5’11”.
I believe she formerly played for Japan’s Women’s National Basketball Team.
5’11 his wife is mamiko tanaka, a former undrafted (in the wnba) PF/Center who just retired after a whopping 4 year career with the Fujitsu Red Wave probably because her husband is about to be a billionaire lol
I mean she was a professional basketball player in Japan. Not sure why the headline says Normal Japanese Woman Wife. Is being a former professional athlete normal now?
Tough to find a good tailor when you’re only making $2,000,000 a year in LA
It’s clever how he’s deferring tailoring until after he’s retired.
\*$2,000,000/week
First year he's "only" making 2 mil
That’s definitely not the weirdest fucking title possible
It's not; Shohei joked about himself being married to a normal woman from japan. The title is a reference to this.
There's murder behind her eyes, and possibly a touch of offshore betting itch
Her eyes remind me of Jodie Cromer in Killing Eve
I thought this was r/mlbcirclejerk with that title.
r/baseballcirclejerk **
r/casejallbirclecerk
It’s a joke.
Normal ? She is 6 feet tall. And you CANT TEACH THAT.
Enzo was such a fever dream
He gets a *lot* of hate, and its understandable. They should have just made him a mouthpiece that takes bumps. We need another Jimmy Hart these days
Didn't Enzo assault a woman and that's why no major company will sign him?
Iirc, the charges were dropped, but the bad press + his annoying behavior backstage didnt help his career at all
Bro needs a tailor desperately
“I bet he does” -former translator
Yakuza suit
The suit is the spring line from Maison De Fanatics
I wouldn't call a professional basketball player normal, being that most people aren't athletes, and most athletes aren't professional. Even if she plays in a bottom tier pro league she's not average. Plus she's cute and probably does that thing he likes 🤣 Edit: I didnt realize shohei himself discribed her as normal. He's a freak of nature, he makes other top tier pros look normal so I can see it coming from him lol. She's probably just modest and he likes a slower lifestyle, nothing wrong with that
She's a basketball player? Jesus Christ, the ohtani family is going to dominate sports for the next 40 years
I'm still waiting to see what kind of athletic freaks Nomar and Mia Hamm created
And the gambling world.
He pulled that outfit out of dad's closet because he forgot to do his dry cleaning without Ippei
Normal eh. Not sure how many Japanese women are over 6 feet tall
Wish him the best of luck with his woman wife
Read this in Lazlo Cravenworth’s voice (from What We Do In The Shadows)
Jackie Daytona, human bartender
When you didn’t expect millions to be missing from your bank account for a tux so you buy what’s left at JCPenney
Worth over half a billion dollars. Still buys suits with a 90s fit
My man does not care for suits
Congrats to Shohei Otani on being selected in the 1st round of the 1997 NBA Draft
You’d think he’d have a better suit, it looks like he went to a nice restaurant and they gave him a sport coat to wear.
What a heinous title
She’s pretty
What is he doing wearing that ? 😂😂
What the heck is with this strange title?
I wish I could find a woman wife. What ever that is
That jacket is too loose. It doesn’t need to be a skinny suit but at least find a good tailer my dude.
He’s wearing an off the rack suit. It fits across the shoulders. That’s key so it is the right size from that perspective. Whoever sold it to him did him an injustice by not shortening the sleeves and taking in the jacket at the back. Hard to tell if it needs taking in because it’s a double breasted suit and it should be buttoned up.
Yeah true. That’s about the extent of my suit knowledge
You don’t need to know everything about suits. Give yourself a pat on the back. You’re 💯. I get paid to wear a suit. He gets paid for other things. It’s a really odd look for him, given the images I have seen of him outside of baseball. I’d have thought his agent would talk to him about image and a stylist. This picture proved he’s no David Beckham.
The jacket isn't the only problem though. Those pants are way too loose.
I bet she is
Is this the standard Japanese woman wife?
Why does he look like he's part of the Yakuza? Like not just some low level guy, but the guy running the show?
Kingpin suit
This is so fucking weird. Leave her alone.
Normal? She’s probably 5’11”, extremely tall for the average woman, she’s probably one of the taller Japanese women out there and extremely beautiful
Shohei with that Senior prom -just rolled out the shower - swagger
Okay I'm just going to say it. Carmelo Anthony and the Boxy Boys styled Ohtani last night for the Dodgers Blue Diamond Gala.
Ohtani buying off the rack clothing cause he don’t give AF. Vibe is overwhelming
Her design is very human, very easy to use.
Does Shohei think he’s in the Talking Heads? With the amount of money he should hire a tailor.
Isn’t she a basketball player and a good one in her own right?
What does this mean
As a point of clarification, she’s a Japanese former [professional basketball player](https://time.com/6957230/shohei-ohtani-wife-mamiko-tanaka-basketball-player-revealed/)…not exactly a “normal person.”
Gonna make super babies
He looks like the kid in *Big* at the end of the movie. Swimming in that suit.
$700 million, and he buys his suits at Costco
The newlyweds look happy and relaxed together. She's lovely and so tall! Love tall women.
Heard he won her in a poker game.
Wanna bet ?
**Normal Japanese Woman Wife** has a name. #Mamiko Tanaka
I foresee some very athletic offspring in their future.
Why do they dress like they’re in an 80s Robert Palmer video? (deep take)
Which one’s Shohei?
Smart man to stay away from American women
I would crack
My Japanese wife has lost all interest in Ohtani🙁
Woman wife? what the hell lol
https://youtu.be/vik-7MjKDa0?si=qpNwaJP1LDw5DIFO
Isn't she also like a star athlete?
The perfect picture of anti-rizz doesn’t exi-
She looks lovely
Weird ass post
WTF is this headline
What kind of title is this?
Ok guys, he had a gig for his Sakanaction cover band after the benefit event, c'mon!
Lol -- not sure what world a pro-basketball player is normal but hey what do I know haha.
She's pretty tall because Shohei is like 6'4"
Funny how you said woman wife.
Someone must have had one too many human alcohol beers before coming up with that title.
Ok bot
Normal Japanese Woman Wife
How many consorts are samurai allowed these days?
Is there a lot of unnornal women wives in the MLB? Strange post
His suit looks cheap
I wonder how he feels sending his interpreter to take the fall for his gambling that was uncovered when the feds took down the bookie in OC?
Why does the word normal need to be used? Is he not suppose to have a normal wife? Is Mike Trouts wife not normal? How about Kershaw or any other MLB player? What makes her normal, do you know her?
Enormous contract, pitches and hits like a boss, AND calls his wife “normal” without reprimand from her or other women?? Legend
Heard she’s a big gambler.
Shoheis normal 6’3 Japanese wife
If you like his woman wife, just wait until you see his man wife!
Well we know who's in charge of the money now.
Looks like Hikaru Shida 
Normal? That woman is tall af!
She stand like a normal Japanese woman wife
Not everyone is after looks. She was a pro basketball player. Some guys want to have athletic kids.
…but does she gamble?
That Ohtani fit doesn’t fit
??
