The 2025 Mitsui Golden Glove Award winners were announced on the 12th, and Rakuten outfielder Ryosuke Tatsumi (28), who has won the award for five consecutive years, teased a costume performance at the awards ceremony. In 2022, he wore a gold jacket, and in 2023, he looked sharp in a white suit. Last year, he dyed his hair, face, and hands gold, and appeared in a gold suit studded with gold sequins, thrilling the audience. "I felt like I'd already given it my all," he admitted honestly, "but I'm grateful to have received this year's award. I'll do my best to live up to expectations." Regarding his idea, he continued, "I've had something in the works for a year. I was consciously thinking about surpassing that, and I hope it will make people happy."

He has had the most defense opportunities this season in Pacific League 337 times, and said, "There are a lot of balls coming at me." But he still only made one error, and defense percentage was 99.7%. "There are a lot of pitcher thank me for defending them. I play in as many games as possible, and I play defense with the sole desire to help pitcher," he said, adding that he hopes any play will be a help to the team.
