Shohei Ohtani Welcomes First Child with Wife Mamiko Tanaka
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – Los Angeles Dodgers ace, Shohei Ohtani, recently shared the joyous news of his first child’s arrival with wife Mamiko Tanaka. Announced via social media, Ohtani expressed immense gratitude and excitement in his heartfelt post.
Announcement of Birth
The announcement came on a Saturday as Ohtani took to Instagram to reveal the birth of their daughter. This follows a previous announcement in December where the couple disclosed they were expecting a child. “I am so grateful to my loving wife, who gave birth to our healthy beautiful daughter,” Ohtani wrote in his post.
In his message, he also humorously noted the challenges of new parenthood, stating, “Thank you for making us very nervous yet super anxious parents.” Ohtani extended his thanks to the medical professionals who supported them throughout the process.
Family and Paternity Leave
Adding to the familial joy, Ohtani included a touch of humor in his announcement as his dog, Decoy, was mentioned as the “big brother” in the post.
In light of this new chapter in his life, Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts placed Ohtani on the team’s paternity list ahead of a game against the Texas Rangers. According to league rules, Ohtani is allowed a leave lasting up to three days. However, Roberts indicated the possibility of Ohtani rejoining the team during their ongoing five-game road trip.
Key Details Still Unconfirmed
While the arrival of their daughter has been celebrated, several details remain undisclosed, including the baby’s name and the exact date of her birth, which could either be April 18 or April 19.
