It’s been about a month and a half since it was revealed that Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani (30 years old) had purchased a 1.2 billion yen mansion in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Ohtani is said to have made a difficult decision about his new home.
It all started with some TV stations going wild. When the local newspaper, the Los Angeles Times, revealed the existence of the “1.2 billion yen mansion” Ohtani had purchased in late May, newspapers and TV stations all reported on it. Meanwhile, trouble broke out between Ohtani’s side and Fuji TV and Nippon TV. Both companies reported the news in a way that revealed the address, such as having reporters broadcast from in front of the new house, which angered Ohtani.
“Fuji TV was particularly bad. On the May 23rd broadcast of “Live News It!”, a male reporter even secretly filmed the basketball court on the premises, which could be seen through the gaps in the dense trees. They even conducted direct interviews with local residents who had no idea that Otani would be their neighbor, and spread the information about Otani’s new home widely.” (American journalist)

At one point, it was reported that Otani had even asked both companies through the team to return his press passes. The public was also flooded with criticism for the reports that exposed too much of his private life. Nippon TV has remained silent, but Fuji TV’s president Koichi Minato apologized not only on the program but also at a regular press conference.

According to a team source, Otani said that he could no longer live in the 1.2 billion yen mansion he had purchased, and expressed his intention to sell it without moving into his new home.

In fact, it has been about a month and a half since the news of the purchase was announced, but there is no sign of Otani moving into his new home.
“At present, the owner of the house is still Otani’s real estate management company, Dekopin LLC, but they are apparently making arrangements to sell it. Since information was leaked before the move, Otani’s side has mistrusted the real estate company’s information management system. I have heard that they are requesting that “they look for a responsible buyer.” The real estate company also did not expect this situation to develop, and they are apparently quite panicked, sensing Otani’s anger.” (Team source, as mentioned above)

It is no wonder that Otani is nervous. Group robberies are on the rise in Los Angeles, and have become a social problem.

Celebrities are particularly targeted, and Otani’s colleagues have also become victims.
“After a game, one of the main players, Muncy, was on his way home from the stadium with his family when the security alarm on his cell phone went off in the car. Security cameras showed multiple perpetrators breaking into his house and searching the room.

Baseball players often travel to other teams, and often leave their wives and children at home. If you hear stories of colleagues who have had scary experiences close to home, it’s only natural that they wouldn’t want to move to a new home whose layout and address are known all over the world.” (US-based journalist)

The 11th issue of Josei Seven details the current state of Ohtani’s new home, which once became a tourist attraction, and the strange behavior of his wife Mamiko, who has stopped appearing at the stadium.
