Thanks so much. These ppl these days.

Thank you!!

[@shakerLT]

Totally a fan now! Great dude👍

[@thaifoo537]

Great interview. Keep it up Steven!

[@Tdzzz450]

Japan gonna create a dynasty and dominate baseball like an anime game on easy mode

[@ElementaryBrewingCo]

Good dude right there!

WBC日本代表でお願いしたいです🙇

#theChosenKwan. Thank you S.Kwan great hitter awesome defense I’ll be a ringer for you to beat Jram in MarioKart

[@JackRoss-p3r]

That’s what I’m saying but no one can beat Jose.

[@allenhaigh1774]

Huh no idea he was of Japanese Descent. Has a Chinese name but apparently has heritage from both. Ohtani gonna have the pull to recruit anyone even an 1/16th Japanese. Love it, thought Japan already has plenty of contact hitters. Seems like a dope dude.

[@CristhoperPS31]

That’s wild 😂

[@gsmarcom]

that dude wants to win so much🤣, Davish said the same in the Ohtani documentary Beyond the Dreams

[@Mellowyellow8888]

for anyone wondering.. he's half Japanese (mom) and his dad is cantonese..

[@Chevalierjay]

嘿嘿我第一次认识他的时候就去查他父母祖籍了 爹是中国人 妈是日本人

[@bobbyw1074]

@@Mellowyellow8888no wonder he can hit he’s got some Japanese in him.

[@NonoGaming34]

I guess they might Both do the WBC

[@seanhancock6664]

I just went to an Hiroshima Carp game right here in Hiroshima. Stationed overseas here and from Cleveland Ohio area. I know people see my Steve Kwan jersey here❤❤❤. Not just that but I bought a Carp jersey today- Akiyama is the player and he’s been in for awhile. What an incredible game today even though they lost to Yokohama today but it’s all good. Still a great team!

Big fan of his from Canada…. Though he’s been struggling the last month or 2 now..

[@JackRoss-p3r]

Just a slump and the last 3 games he’s bat around .500 or so.

I’d be happy if Kwan joins Team Japan in the next WBC. He could be the leadoff-man, with Ohtani batting second, and together with Suzuki and Nootbaar, they'd cover the outfield.🇯🇵👏

[@stbvb7136]

日本代表🇯🇵に来てください！

[@brickwall2016]

Pure Class. Hope his IL stint is short. Guards lineup needs 38 at the top.

[@RajDeelish]

Seems like a good dude.

[@cJeremy]

i'd rather have him play for the US but there's probably no room for him.

[@mrcalipride]

no space for him, bro. Thats why you see a lot of American guys playing for their ethnicity.

[@cJeremy]

@@mrcalipride that's what I said.

[@DrewDeLand]

Asian Pride!

[@just_joshing]

Some of these questions seem lifted off of Chris Rose’s interview with Kwan

[@PMorinaga]

pretty sure his mom is Japanese American

[@taiwanthebest]

Come on Kwan, play for Chinese taipei!

How is he having his name 'kwan' with his Japanese blood? That name is not Japanese name. More like Korean or Chinese name.

[@f430ferrari5]

His mom is Japanese American.

[@海月娱乐传媒]

Nootbar is also not a Japanese name, but he is of Japanese descent.

[@jasondeweyofficial]

Never heard someone more sound like a frog ever

お待ちしております🙇

[@ShoTime017]

He needs to get traded to the Dodgers.

[@andrewberardinelli1749]

I have a much better idea. He should stay in Cleveland and the Dodgers learn how to win without spending money to do it
