Athletic Background:

In high school, he focused on sprinting (best time of 12.16 seconds in the 100 meters).

At university, he studied at the Faculty of Sports Science at Waseda University and participated in athletics training.

Olympics-related:

Japan has not been selected for the Olympic team and has not competed in the Olympic Games, including Tokyo 2020.

The Japanese media have reported on its track and field potential, but the actual level of competition does not meet the Olympic standard.

Status quo:

Ichiro Suzuki's family life is low-key, and his daughter has not chosen a professional sports path, so there is limited public information at present.

Ichiro Suzuki is one of the greatest batsmen in the history of Japanese and American baseball, and his daughter, Umi Suzuki, has received media attention but has not become an Olympian. The Suzuki family's athletic talent is more evident in baseball (Ichiro Suzuki's nephew, Makoto Suzuki, is now an MLB Chicago Cubs outfielder).
