Otani's wife, Mamiko, was highly praised by W League directors as ``beautiful,'' ``she has a great personality,'' and ``she has class.''
Mami Tanaka, who is married to Shohei Ohtani Ohtani, arrived in South Korea with Ohtani on the 15th and was seen in public for the first time, sparking a flood of praise for her beauty, especially online.
Mamiko joined the Fujitsu Red Wave of the women's professional basketball league W League in 2019 from Waseda University. He was also selected as a candidate for the Japan national team, but retired last year.
Regarding Mamiko, Mao Okada, a former W Leaguer and currently a professional 3x3 basketball player, said on the program "Wandori TV" of the YouTube channel "TOKYO HOOP GiRLS" released on October 19, 2021, She was introduced as one of the "God 7" in the league's 21st-22nd season's "Cute Female Basketball Players" feature.
On the program, Okada highly praised Mamiko, saying, ``She's 180 cm tall and beautiful! She's beautiful. She's so beautiful.'' He went on to say, ``Aoi-san also said that he has a really nice personality,'' and also introduced the ``certification'' of Ariake Aoi, a former W Leaguer who has served as the league's board member from that time to the present.
Mr. Okada continued to praise her, saying, ``It's classy. It's a mess. She's young, she's not quite there yet. She's in her second year at Fujitsu after graduating from Waseda University. She's so beautiful...'' Although the video was released more than two years ago, it received messages such as ``Beautiful, good-natured, classy athlete Otani-san, she's perfect.''
