鈴木 一朗 Ichiro Suzuki is a model.

The other day I was watching TV at my friend's house and saw someone I recognized. He's a famous face in Japan and does a lot of modeling in various advertisements. I asked my friend who he was and got a look of shock from her. She told me that it was Ichiro Suzuki. He's possibly one of the most famous Japanese people in the world. Certainly, I knew his name but I had no idea what he looked like since my interest in baseball is hardly anything at all.

So in case you have no interest in / knowledge of baseball, this famous model is Ichiro Suzuki.

He's my favorite baseball player! I think he is pretty well known in the states amongst baseball fans. I love your blog, btw!

I know nothing about baseball at all. It's popular in Japan and America. I used to have an old Seattle Seahawks tshirt in high school, though.

I weirdly think that Ichiro Suzuki looks a small bit like Brad Pitt. Is it the smile? Does anyone else see it?

Hey! Funny story--I met Ichiro at a sushi restaurant in Florida on a random night. Really nice guy and actually quite the looker in person!

OMIGOD YES! I think it's his mouth and his eyes - it seems like they make the exact same expressions sometimes.

Ah Julie! Seattle Seahawks is the football team from Seattle. The baseball team is Seattle Mariners - which coincidently, is the team Ichiro plays for.

He is definitely famous in the US - but especially here in the Pacific Northwest.

Haha, the Seahawks are our football team (I am from Washington) but I know what you mean. Ichiro plays for the Mariners and is really one of the only things they have going for them anymore. I had no idea he was a model though. He does look a tiny bit like Brad Pitt in that picture.

Haha, I'm sorry. I fully admit that I know nothing about any professional sport. Absolutely nothing.

I actually think that Ichiro Suzuki is quite a handsome person.

shannon said......in response to Julie said.......I noticed the resembelance between Ichiro and
Brad Pitt several years ago. My family thought I was out of my gord!!!!!! I saw him (Ichiro) yesterday on the MLB network, and he nowadays looks even more like the Pitt. I made the mistake of saying so, and now my husband is telling me I should check myself in to the nearest psychiatric ward. So you can imagine my extreme delight when my angel son found this blog site with your comments. Thanks ladies, I knew it wasnt that crazy.
