Shohei Ohtani is a world-class athlete, yet he is infamously secretive about his personal life. Fans just had a peek into the impact that the Dodger star’s significant other has on him.

Ohtani announced his marriage to a “normal Japanese woman” on Instagram in February. After the declaration, which captured the attention of people all over the world, an inquiry was launched, and it was discovered that Ohtani was married to Japanese basketball player Mamiko Tanaka.

Mamiko picked “il vento d’oro” for her husband’s walk-up music on Tuesday night. The 2018 song is the theme music for the Japanese manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s Giorno Giovanna.

“The music for Shohei Ohtani’s entrance at tonight’s LA Dodgers game was chosen by his spouse. It was Giorno’s theme song from the hit anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, il vento d’oro. I take it that Mamiko enjoys JoJo?” – Hall, Jeffrey J.

In Tuesday’s 5-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants, Shohei Ohtani would go on to notch a double and three RBIs. Mamiko seldom ever appears in public with her husband, but the music she chooses for him to walk up to provides some insight into their personal dynamics.

Mamiko Tanaka, who was born in Tokyo in 1996, was initially recognized for her basketball abilities while attending Waseda University. Tanaka joined the Women’s Japan Basketball League’s Fujitsu Red Wave after graduating. Tanaka, who is currently retired, also took home gold at the 2017 William Jones Cup and the 2011 U-16 Championship.

Mamiko, a retired basketball player, maintains a low profile similar to her spouse, but they have been photographed together on a few occasions. When Mamiko attended Ohtani’s game against the San Diego Padres in Seoul to begin the 2024 MLB season, fans saw their first look of the couple.

Mamiko provides crucial assistance to Shohei Ohtani.
