Shohei Ohtani simply posted on his personal page a photo taken with his pet dog Dekopin, but made fans “search” to buy the backpack this dog was wearing.

One of the symbols of Japanese elementary school students – the Randoseru anti-humpback backpack has recently been designed in versions for adults and even pets. And Tsuchiya Kaban in Tokyo is currently the only company that produces randoseru for dogs.

This backpack model is officially called Pet Randoseru, the outside is made of leather with metal details. Like all traditional randoseru, the backpack has a nylon webbing strap, with a place to clip a chain located on the pocket. The backpack measures 14.3x10x8cm and can hold snacks, bones or other dog essentials.

The strap of the briefcase can be removed and the chain can be attached to both ends of the briefcase to turn it into a fashionable bag for the owner.

This is not the first time Tsuchiya Kaban has offered Pet Randoseru as the product was first launched last October and was sold out afterward. However, interest in the product has skyrocketed this month thanks to baseball star Shohei Ohtani.

Recently, Ohtani posted an article on his personal Instagram page to mark his journey with the Major League Baseball season. Among the photos included is a photo of Ohtani walking in the parking lot of Dodgers Stadium with Dekopin, his Kooikerhondje pet dog, and in the photo, Dekopin is wearing Pet Randoseru from the brand. Tsuchiya Kaban brand.

As a “national idol”, many people quickly commented on Ohtani’s post asking where they could buy this randoseru. Realizing public interest, Tsuchiya Kaban took action and announced that they will offer the new Pet Randoseru line for sale from July 1, exclusively through the Tsuchiya Kaban online store. Expected delivery time is October, with selling price of 49,500 yen
