Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers)’s dog ‘Decopin’ is becoming a hot topic following receiving a US visa.
According to foreign media such as ESPN, U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel posted a photo of Ohtani gifting his dog Visa to Otani through his SNS account on the 11th. Of course, it is not an official visa.
Ambassador Emanuel organized a special event to celebrate the contract with the Dodgers.
The passport number was written as ‘000MVPUP000’, a combination of the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) that Otani received last season and puppy (puppy), and the control number was written as ‘000GOODBOY000’ (good boy, good guy).
Ohtani attracted attention by holding a dog during a video interview for the American League MVP award last year.
It was also predicted that Otani, who was a free agent in the United States, would have chosen the dog’s name as his next destination. After signing a huge contract with the Dodgers for 10 years and a total of 700 million dollars (approximately 918.1 billion won), Ohtani was asked a related question at the press conference upon joining the team and revealed that his pet dog’s name was ‘Decopin’.
It is known that Otani temporarily returned to Korea in complete secrecy to fulfill his schedule in Japan. Sports Nippon reported, “Ohtani temporarily returned to Korea, completed his itinerary, including visiting the U.S. Embassy in Japan, and then went back to the United States.”
Meanwhile, dogs do not need a U.S. visa. However, when visiting the United States with a dog, a pet health certificate and quarantine certificate are required.
