Mizuhara's crime took not only Japan by surprise, but also the entire United States.
Mizuhara is Otani's interpreter.
He was always there for Otani, not only in games and practices, but also in his personal life.
It does not matter that Mizuhara was a gambling addict.
The fact that Mizuhara stole a huge amount of money from Otani is what is terrible.
It is even more terrible because he was a person who lived like Otani's family.
To say that Otani did not know his backstory would be an understatement, but it is the result of the fact that the Japanese and American team officials did not choose the right people when he came to the United States.
In a sense, interpreters are more important than managers and trainers.
The presence of the people closest to us can sometimes cause serious injury .
It can even cause great damage.
This is not only the case of Otani.
In fact, it is common in parent-child relationships, marital relationships, work relationships, and friendships.
It is especially bad in parent-child relationships because children cannot escape.
They are hurt all the time, from the time they are babies, by the wrong upbringing of their selfish parents.
Once the gears of a couple who have been in love with each other start to go haywire, they will belittle and hurt each other.
Divorce takes a heavy toll on both parties.
At work, they may smile on the surface, but behind their backs they are always swearing on parade.
Sometimes, they are digging a big pit for you.
It is common to be betrayed even by one's best friend.
In this way, the people closest to us are actually the most dangerous.
Even if everyone in the world is more or less the same, it is clear that the opportunities and possibilities for harm are greater for our relatives and those close to us because they are closer to us.
A warm home where people lick each other's wounds, a couple who love and cherish each other, a workplace where people can work together comfortably, friends who help each other when in need... I would not say that these relationships are dreams or illusions, but to realize them requires constant attention, effort, and hard work.
Good and wonderful things cannot be obtained easily.
It may be something that can be obtained only after much pain, suffering, and hard work (^_-)-☆
