I am very much enjoying the fact that you and I and 1.5k people are still enjoying the gift that this man is to the great country of Canada and baseball in general.
Same here. I seen this in my recommended (much to my confusion cuz I do not watch ANY sports lol) and clicked out of curiosity and found myself watching more of this guy. He’s adorable, charming and funny as hell and awkward in the most endearing way.

Well, in japanese, we say yes to these questions because that "yes" means "yes, I agree that you don't get to hear the joke". So that's kinda classic difference between English and Japanese.
@@whyface6778 Thats how Japanese is sometimes the verb is at the end in english its at the beginning. So in english he'd have to say i stole many hats from the store yesterday. In japenesse its more like I yesterday at the store many hats stole. Our sentence stucture is different.
If you don't follow the Jays or haven't heard, Kawa was the inspiration behind the comeback win in the ALDS against the Texas Rangers. I'm paraphrasing RA Dickey but he said something to the effect of; "Kawa stood up after we lost the second game in Toronto and gave a speech in Japanese which none of us understood but then he said in English, "3 wins. We need to win 3 times and doesn't matter how or when. Just win 3. That's it." We understood that very well and took it to heart".
*In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, Yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die! Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America.*
E. Castillo kawa plays baseball to entertain people. David suzuki has been telling people about how we should be saving the planet and animals since 1970s.
If it makes you feel better if Kawasaki ever gets called from the minors the fans in chicago are gonna treat him like a rockstar every move he makes, ask kosuke fukudome lol, rising sun head bands 'erry wherrrr : p
I'm late to the party.... But OMG, this guy is the most entertaining man in baseball. Edit 5 days later: I've watched every single video I can find of Kawasaki. There are like 20 and every single one will brighten your day a little. I promise.
I'm not really a big baseball fan, but Kawa always leaves me in knots. Always so thankful and full of happiness. Wish we could all be a bit more like this guy. Also, totally stealing this joke :)
He doesn’t speak English like a native speaker but he can communicate from heart to heart. As a fan of munelin(we call him munelin in Japan) from Japan, I am so proud of him!!
@@diabl2master Because people fail to separate race and culture. For example, I have a half white friend who was born in Korea and lived his life in Korea, yet he got into trouble when he openly made an Asian joke. Even though I hope the world should not care about one's appearance, the appearance matters.
@@MHKeonwoo Still don't see why it's "unfortunate" that only Asians can make this joke of flexing one's arm and saying "haha Japanese noodle power"... it's simply a joke that doesn't make sense for a non-Japanese person to say. If you don't think non-Asians can make jokes about Asians you're dead wrong, go and watch Bad Friends podcast.
I m a medical student, i searched a disease called "kawasaki disease" ..but in the list that TH-cam showed me was this man as well.At that time i watched the video of disease only and closed the TH-cam . Then next time i came back on TH-cam, i saw one video of this person..then binge watched all his videos, ..now i m his fan..and i want to meet him🥰
I can’t stop binging this guy’s interviews. I have zero interest in sportsnet but he’s just so entertaining! 😂👌🏽 He plays the reporters so much, it’s great!
"Noodle power" Clearly a slur that he's used against the haters. I've only just discovered this guy but me and the dog will be watching his videos all day!
not sure why youtube all of a sudden started recommending a video of this guy from 2014, but I clicked through to this video and then another, his English is getting better indeed. compliments for him!

“How’s the English”
“2015 incredible”
Speech 100
pretty sure he is saying his english in 2015 is incredible but still funny haha love him.
Well that answered that question lol
He first answered that the season of 2015 is incredible, then proceeds to speak about his English
Sambenmoser bruh it’s a joke🤦🏼♂️
99% sure he's just a tourist who wondered into the Blue Jays locker room one day
Scranj Screma couldn't tell the difference if he had a money counter on
i see u every where
Sooo true
Lmao
I wonder if anyone has ever wandered into the locker room in a Wonder Woman suit?

Idk you’re less shy in a different language

last time he said "excitement" now he said "excited". He'll be a native speaker in no time.
Soon he'll be speaking in Shakespeare terms
@FluffY PenguiN
Haha I know. Is he even in North America anymore?
I mean it’s been 4 years lol
@FluffY PenguiN He won a world series though!
His English kind of sounded worst to me. Except for the joke. I loved the joke.
My man legit flexed and said "noodle power"

He's a God
Why am I getting these in my reccomended, I dont even watch sports.
Not sure if it’s because he eats a lot of noodles or he’s calling his arms noodles 😂😂😂 either way it’s funny

Just watch Moneyball, that's all you need.
Me too
Me: never watched baseball, only seen two videos of this guy

I’m in the same exact boat. This Kawasaki is my new idol. Like does he even play baseball!? I don’t know yet but I assume. I hope he’s good.
Me toooo
Same here XD...
D Burris I heard he retired
2:19 Y’all really missed when he said “I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying” *winks* . He speaking wisdom.
When he says failure I lost it😂
That was legit deep.
More like i can accept huewehueya 😂😂😂
Oh so that’s what huahuea was lmao thank you, that’s a great quote
Pretty sure it's where we are and not failure

"Where am I from?"
"Yeah."
"I Japan."

@Aaron Zimmerman No, this is Patrick.
this feels like oblivion npc dialogue

Kreygasm "hard"
Kawasaki the real MVP...he will show up when it matters.
I USED TO HAVE A KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLE. IT WAS THE FIRST MOTORCYCLE I OWNED.
When the world needs him most, he will pick up the metal bat once more.
no his MOM is the real MVP
He just told and English joke like he's been speaking it his whole life. Love this guy 😂

not "left for the cottage"

just died a little

Would have never guessed he’s Japanese. Very confident and not stereotypical.
