When it comes to winning, Los Angeles is recognized as the city of champions. Dodger Stadium and Staples Center both have banners and pennants that attest to this heritage.

People who were born and raised in Los Angeles probably have a soft spot for the Dodgers and the Lakers. There are a lot of connections between these two teams. They have never been closer than they are now that the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani, baseball’s biggest star.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani are two of the Dodgers’ Japanese superstars. Rui Hachimura, a forward, is a Lakers player. Hachimura, a native of Toyama, understands what it’s like to be a professional athlete from a foreign nation.

Hachimura recently spoke with Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times on his feelings about Ohtani joining the Dodgers and the influence that Ohtani has had on him.

The ezoic

“I came from Japan, grew up, and now I’m here in the United States to play in the NBA, the best league in the world. I’m proud to be Japanese as an athlete,” he told The Times. I’m a part of one of the world’s largest organizations, yet it’s a different sport. Those Lakers. Not to mention him too. Sporting event. Elite level. One of the largest organizations is Dodgers. I am incredibly pleased and proud of him as a Japanese person. In fact, he inspired me.

Not only does Hachimura play in the City of Angels, but he also represents the most prominent sportswear company. Regarding Ohtani, the same holds true.

The Angels’ brand has struggled to go beyond Orange County, even though Ohtani has been in the area for the previous six seasons. Both insiders and outsiders agree that playing for the Dodgers or the Angels does not increase one’s marketability or cache.

At long last, Ezoic Shohei has arrived at Los Angeles, the actual Los Angeles. Among those who are ecstatic is Rui. Baseball was the game to play when you were a kid in Japan. Even Rui wasn’t spared. Ichiro Suzuki, the baseball great, was someone he looked up to, he said Woike.

“Just like him, everyone aspired to be,” Hachimura remarked.

Ohtani will be the envy of children everywhere, according to Rui Hachimura of the Los Angeles Times.

Just two young people chasing their passions in the world’s most incredible metropolis.
