Who is Niki Niwa, and is she dating Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the MLB? The Japanese model and actress attends Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs events, and has beauty collabs with Dior and Valentino

With a World Series win under his belt, Yoshinobu Yamamoto has had quite a season since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers this year. Along with his fellow Japanese player, baseball star Shohei Ohtani, Yamamoto has become a sensation both in the US and at home. The Japanese powerhouse signed the biggest Major League Baseball pitcher contract in history, banking him an astonishing US$325 million over 12 years.

Together with Ohtani, the two proved to be well worth their salaries, taking home the World Series title for the Dodgers against the New York Yankees.
