LA Times publishes special edition on Shohei Ohtani ahead of Dodgers' opening game. The opening article points out the similarities between Shaquille O'Neal, the superstar who led professional basketball's Los Angeles Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships, and Otani.

The special edition also includes typography and illustration works created by Japanese and American artists. Since 2017, we have collected past articles that describe the transition of Otani, who has moved from Nippon-Ham to the Angels and then to the Dodgers.
