The U.S. sports media Essentially Sports reported on the 11th (Korea time) that Shohei Otani can no longer live there. It intends to sell the LA mansion it purchased for $7.85 million (about 10.8 billion won) for safety reasons' reported in an article titled.
Ohtani announced on his SNS in December last year that he had signed with the Dodgers, and in February, he also announced that he had married former basketball player Mamiko Tanaka. He made every effort to protect privacy by directly disclosing his personal work.
Now that I'm married and settled in LA, it's only natural to find a place to live.
Ohtani purchased a mansion near Los Angeles Dodger Stadium for $7.85 million in May. It is a luxury mansion with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a sauna, a movie theater, a swimming pool, a gym, and a basketball court on the third floor, and is located about 13 miles from Dodger Stadium.

The LA Times first reported in detail about the Ohtani couple's newlywed house. It was May 23rd. However, as Japanese media engage in privacy infringement-level reporting, Ohtani and his wife feel uncomfortable. When parts that should not be aired on TV were exposed, Ohtani asked the broadcaster to refrain from this part, but it was reported that it did not improve.
It is said that Ohtani was angry about this, saying "privacy infringement".
This essential leisure sport has been followed by things that bother Ohtani since he purchased his dream mansion. According to club officials, Ohtani said he could no longer live in the house. Instead of selling the house for $7.85 million, he said, "I don't think there are any plans to buy a new house separately."
It all began when two Japanese broadcasters, Fuji TV and Nihon TV, crossed the line and reported on his new mansion, the media said. `All the broadcasters showed was glorifying a place that could pose a danger to the Ohtani family. It also introduced the mansion, allowing the address to be exposed.
According to the media, a reporter from Fuji TV gave a sneak peek at the basketball court in May and, worse, tried to interview neighbors around him, but residents did not know Ohtani lived nearby until the interview.
