About the Shohei Ohtani Signature Logo

The Shohei Ohtani signature logo is by manga artist Takehiko Inoue, symbolizing his athleticism and his unique abilities as both a hitter and a pitcher that have already marked significant moments in his historic career. Ohtani's love for baseball is most evident in his baserunning, and the logo is a sketch of Ohtani rounding first base.
