The BBC has inquired about confirmation from the legal firm.
Ohtani was playing in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ season opener in Seoul when the news broke. This week, Mr. Mizuhara accompanied him to South Korea for the highly anticipated series against the San Diego Padres.
Before Thursday’s second game in the series, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts rejected him several times.
Since the beginning of his stay in the US in 2018, Mr. Mizuhara has remained by his side. After weeks of conjecture, he and his spouse were spotted in an image that exposed Mamiko Tanaka, Mr. Ohtani’s spouse.
Japan has commended Mr. Mizuhara’s skill to translate Ohtani’s remarks into informal English.
