Ippei was my high school buddy in Diamond Bar HS. Was in the varsity soccer team together and played a lot of basketball together as well. So happy for Ippei that he's the translator for Ohtani! By the way, Ippei has never changed his hair since elementary, I believe. LOL. Good job Ippei!
Ippei and I were best friends from 8th-9th grade Chapparal Middle and DBHS. Its crazy stumbling on his video.. His hair was bleached blonde a few months during the summer but yeah, same hair.
I swear this guy was just sitting on his couch playing video games and he just happened to grow up in America with Japanese only speaking parents. Legendary job
He did grind it out as an interpreter for the Nippon Ham Fighters (Ohtani's old team) for five years, but yea, what a lucky fucking guy. He really was at the right place at the right time.
Lmaooo yo this dude is funny and refreshing bc he isn’t playing politics or giving generic answers or saying things fans wanna hear or sounding rehearsed. he is just giving raw answers. He also just has this cool nonchalant whatever comes to mind look/aura/attitude. Props to that man keep it up from an east coast fan and I’m not even a baseball fan! Just following the unique story line!
@@shutthefupdonny I'll do the same with Ippei and Ohtani there, because think about it: you ask a funny question in English, Ippei laughs, Shohei confused, Ippei composes himself to interpret to Shohei everybody laughs, Shohei gives funny response back, Shohei and Ippei laugh, you're confused, Ippei interprets back to you in English, everybody laughs.
I’m thinking Yankees was because of matsui too. Maybe Tanaka later. Matsui, while obviously not as great of a player as ichiro, although who is really, was/is so beloved and his 2009 playoffs/World Series was so legendary. Only World Series (i think?) to be traded right after 😢
I like that he was just honest without those typical diplomatic answers like, "Oh, I've always been an Angles fan." or whatever - just goes to show you how huge Ichiro's impact has been.
I'm also a Mariners/Ichiro fan since i was little.... But I'm also a fan of Ohtani now.. looking forward to seeing Mariners play against Ohtani and the Angels...
Yeah what a shame. Luckily Ohtani will be generationally wealthy when all is said and done but this all has to be very painful for him given their friendship. I'm not a Dodgers fan but who could pull against Ohtani. I hope something like this doesn't get in his head too much
He is a man of few words... i imagine because he manage to much information so he cannot be that "nice guy" that every journalist can aproach and ask private things... he knows his place and keep things very professional... Most japanesse do that... and even if he knows he is living the dream... that doesnt took him from the path...
I'm not an Angels fan but I feel more envious of this mans job than Jeff Bezo's and I cannot stand it. If I could wish for one thing, it would be to understand Japanese fluently so I can take this mans job.
Sounds like he may have plenty of time from prison if Ohtani's allegations are true (innocent until proven guilty of course, but how he has spoken about everything recently, it doesn't sound very much in his favor if/when it goes to court)
Ippei is 38. Mlb translator salary varies, for example Iwakuma’s translator made a confirmed 75k, but I think it’s likely Ippei is probably the highest paid translator. I’d guess like 120-150k but then there’s so many perks and things you don’t have to pay for that I think that amount translates to a significant amount more. I’m sure shohei hooks him up also since shohei is best dude and they seem extremely friendly, not just an employee/employer relationship
he is completely a psychopath. not a gamble addict. so he stole 25M and then at that same time, acted like Shohei's best friend. He was working an Uber Eats delivery guy because he had no money (lost all $25M). oh, god
this guy looks like he's alwasy uncomfortable, like.. "can't ya'll just leave me the fck alone?" It's bad enough I gotta follow this star baseball player around all, and translate ya'lls stupid ass questions. haha
People that knew, knew. (not the gambling part, but his faked resume) His translation was horrible.. Every interviewer struggled with his lack of eloquence.
Not a very good speaker, slurs his speech, appears to be disengaged, indifferent, seems unprofessional, and from other videos I noticed that his translation is not accurate. From a translator’s perspective he is not very good.
I can’t believe he stole money from the man that gave him an amazing career and opportunities to travel around the world. Ohtani even called him his best friend.. smh
I think Shohei is comfortable with Ippei. Ohtani is still underpaid so Ippei's salary is not an issue right now. It might be in a couple of years. Ohtani will probably have to pay Ippei himself or lose not having him.
@@zeus6662 ippei gets paid 75k, that's nothing for an assistant/interpreter for a star player, especially if it helps him feel comfortable and perform better.

lol "i was a mariners fan"

Nobody in baseball says political stuff. Thank God. It’s not like lebron or colin (don’t even wanna say his last name)
I wanna smoke a blunt with him and just ask him thousands of questions about Ohtani.

" I wasn't an Angels FAN. I was more of a Mariners fan." Haha
and Yankees
yea I loled
Because of Ichiro presumably.......
The impact of the Legendary great Ichiro continues...........

As a Japanese, I can't wait for a documentary on Netflix 😂😂😂
lol, this guy had a dream job with a salary that was probably higher than 99.99% of anyone in the world , and he blew it
Super greedy bad guy
@@socalvibe4500facts! Makes it even worse when you're a habitual gambler!!😀😃
Agree. Ippei is disgraceful
His tragedy tells us that staying away from gambling,otherwise it will ruin you.
I like that he was just honest without those typical diplomatic answers like, "Oh, I've always been an Angles fan." or whatever - just goes to show you how huge Ichiro's impact has been.
no wonder he's a japanese
"I didn't think he'd be this good" 3 years ago lol
Lol I wonder how he feels now
@@SocratesSodiumJr I wonder what he was thinking during the HR Derby, he got to catch for Otanhi
And imagine what he feels now lol
I wonder how many bets and losses Ippei had that day😂
Ippei really said he didn’t think Shohei would be this good😂😂😭
you already know this man got jokes
I love Ippei as much as I love Shohei.
Not anymore I hope
Not anymore. Ippei is a disgraceful human being.
He's imagining his next parlay 😂😂
If he watches these videos, oh man how he wish he could roll back the clock
I like this guy he gives real answers unlike alot of people in sports
He's awesome haha! He also doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars on the line though so he don't give a fuuuck 🤣
he's JAPANESE!
they are honest in anyways..
Then I wanna hear the real answer of why he was placing bets.
I like to see Ippei coming Shohei's interviews even in Japan. Interviewers speak Japanese, Ippei is just standing, watching Shohei.
I'm also a Mariners/Ichiro fan since i was little.... But I'm also a fan of Ohtani now.. looking forward to seeing Mariners play against Ohtani and the Angels...
Who’s here after Ippei was arrested😂
I imagine how panic Shohei would be if Ippei just couldn't make it due to sick perhaps.
"IPPEI, COME ON MAN!"
a gamble man
Tim Duncan got massively ripped off after letting his friend manage his finances. Don't mix business and friendship.
Yeah. Feel bad for ohtani who thought he found a friend but found a thief.
Yeah what a shame. Luckily Ohtani will be generationally wealthy when all is said and done but this all has to be very painful for him given their friendship. I'm not a Dodgers fan but who could pull against Ohtani. I hope something like this doesn't get in his head too much
@@Grizz1yAdams He has generational wealth already, Ohtani makes $50M a year off sponsorships.
He seems chill
chill enough to swindle millions and then do this Interview
Now he's a criminal
KIDS WILL GROW UP KNOWING SHOHEI AND IPPEI TOGETHER. THERE’S NO SHOHEI IF THERE’S NO IPPEI💪🏻
How about now? 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Price vs Ohtani Tuesday, should be a good game. Go Halo.
He is a man of few words... i imagine because he manage to much information so he cannot be that "nice guy" that every journalist can aproach and ask private things... he knows his place and keep things very professional... Most japanesse do that... and even if he knows he is living the dream... that doesnt took him from the path...
oh yeah , you have a pegged . he’s very “professional and knows his place”
Lol he was too busy placing illegal bets and covering his losses😂
Stay with your BOSS. You will go down in the history with the GOAT! and don't change your hair style, we might need it.
Who’s here after buddy was placing bets 💀
Buddy’s getting locked up.
Well well well, how the turn tables.

I saw him smiling for the first time. 🤣
He got jokes.. now the jokes on him.
best job ever
lost his job

I hear there's an opening.
Keeping it 100% I am an Angels fan because they weren’t the Dodgers. When the mariners got Ichiro they were my second favorite team.
What do you do off the field?
"Have breakfast and thats all"
In his head "and swindle $17mil from my client's bank accounts"
This is the exact definition of "don't patronize me"

A unicorn consists of Ippei Mizuhara too.

He screwed up the best job ever
No cap
he really did wtf
dude had it so good, and he threw it away on betting on Colts-Jets games lmfao. man what a fuck-up
Ippei is critical to Shohei's career and success, second to Shohei himself. How old is Ippei and what is the salary of a translator?
Ippei is 38. Mlb translator salary varies, for example Iwakuma’s translator made a confirmed 75k, but I think it’s likely Ippei is probably the highest paid translator.

At Angels 190K. Now at Dodgers Ippei earns 420K
shohei even paid his honeymoon i heard
Good kid..and he's got a job! 😄
A damn good job with the GOAT. He will go down in the history.
