There were all kinds of Ohtani-like tales about Ichiro swirling in the early 00s. That he had 30 HR power if he wanted it, or that he had the arm to be a closer. Never got to see either, which makes me suspect it was more fairy tale than reality, but one wonders if he could have been a two way OF and closer in another time.
Yeah and Kobe jumped over a speeding car
He looks so young Jesus Christ. Be could be late 20s here if you assume his gray is frosted tips lol
So. Ichiro WAS unbelievable, AND these are fake.
Almost as real as the HR he scored off a bunt
He is still very much alive.
Incredible and definitely not fake. That was debunked years ago
Dumbass
I wanna see the cuts where he actually attempted this. Because there’s no way Ichiro didn’t at least try these lol
I believe in ICHIRO SUPREMACY
These ads were so good!!
Not only a great hitter but a fantastic fielder
My heart and my best intentions tell me that’s true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not
Was? He still is.
Ichiro [shooting lasers from right field](https://youtu.be/WYAxk01E404) despite weighing like 90 pounds will always be burned into my brain
aim small miss small
fake? you man a guy in the bet365 ad, didn’t climb the foul pole to make a catch?
Kids. This was before AI. Dude was unreal.
Was?
This is a bot and the post should be deleted.
And somehow he was believable to one voter
If anyone thinks this was made with AI, I want them to watch this video. Back then, Sato Pharmaceutical released behind-the-scenes footage from the actual shoot. The part you want starts just after the 40-second mark.

This isn’t AI or CGI — Ichiro is really doing it himself. He did fail a few times, but the successful take was the one used in the commercial.
Everyone in here is SO sure this is fake, and I think that’s the real problem.
No one trusts anything they see anymore, which just means people are substituting objective truth with their own subjective reality
Carnivals hate him!
He must have watched all those Tom Emanski videos from way back in the day.
Was?!?
Greatest
