Shohei Ohtani has been a figure on a screen for seven years in Japan .

His image of him in a field of green tea leaves has been seen roughly 4 million times.

He's 100 feet tall on the side of a building in Shinjuku , wearing the same look next to a couple of Seiko watches.

Baseball fans plan their summer days around Dodgers games, most of which start in the late morning .

Ohtani 's deal with Topps netted roughly $7 million for the company last season alone.

His estimated $65 million in annual endorsement income in 2024 -- the most of any baseball player -- is estimated $58 million more than Bryce Harper .

Japan Airlines , Japan Airlines and travel agencies throughout Japan operate tours for fans to travel to Los Angeles .

Ohtani played four games in Tokyo , two that counted and two that didn't, a distinction didn't seem to matter.

"What he is achieving and what he's already achieved is something out of a comic book," Ihara says.

"He's showing us that there's no limits for us as human beings," he says.
