Pikichin: ...I decided to go to the U.S. because I wanted to see a Japanese person active in the world with my own eyes.
She is intelligent and has the power to challenge her own dreams.
Actually she herself is encouraged by Ohtani-san's challenge. It would be great if she could succeed in her business (in Africa?) with the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Pikichin: Japanese baseball fans know very little about players on teams that don't have Japanese players, so thanks to Ohtani san, Trout became known to them. After that, Japanese fans who learned about Trout's success. And said, "If Trout had been here, Angels might have won..." at games where the Angels lost!
Charge Free internet TV program allows to watch many Angels games in Japan, so the number of Japanese bandwagon fans who remember the names of players other than Trout has increased.
Pikichin: In Japan, many of the spectators at professional baseball games are men. Many people come after work, so there are a lot of men in suits, but I didn't see any men wearing suits in the MLB.
After World War II, professional baseball in Japan resumed, and subsequently due to the expansion of the number of teams, about half of the sponsor companies at that time were railway companies. They had home stadiums near their stations. They wanted fans to come to the stadium by their train, so the main fans were those who came directly to the stadium after work using their commuting pass.
Pikichin:I want him to stay injury free and continue to be active in the MLB, and continue to give hope to Japan, a country that has so much dark news.
She knows well that Ohtani-san has been suffered many injuries and has overcome them. She is not just a fair-weather fan.

Interview with Yuri Ohtani, Ohtani-san's grandmother:
"He has been injured a lot. Now that his injuries have healed, it's really good if there are no injuries from now on. Only that is worrisome."
Grandma's hope:
"His elder sister got married last year. If possible, I want him to get married while I'm fine (*). I want to see the face of my great-grandchildren ...
In addition, it would be perfect if he could play an active part in baseball."
*, Ohtani-san's grandfather was deceased last year. Grandma reports about their grandson to her late husband every day on the family Buddhist altar, like "Shohei hit a home run today".
Ohtani-san's grandma is the best reporter about him.
