Ohtani revealed on Feb. 29 that he was married, but he did not provide his wife's name. Instead, the 29-year-old said he "began a new life with someone from my Native country of Japan who is very special to me."
Like Ohtani, Tanaka is an athlete on the national stage. The 27-year-old is a professional basketball player who last played in the Women's Japan Basketball League with the Fujitsu Red Wave in 2023.

The Dodgers wrote in the alt text on X, formerly Twitter, that Ohtani was pictured with his wife but did not identify her by name.
