In a shocking turn of events, the scandal surrounding Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, has taken a new twist as further details emerge. Recent revelations bring to light several inaccuracies in Mizuhara's publicly available biography, according to a report by The Athletic's Sam Blum.

During Ohtani's stint with the Los Angeles Angels, Mizuhara's name appeared in the team's media guide, stating that he had graduated from the University of California, Riverside in 2007. However, the university has refuted this claim, asserting that there is no record of Mizuhara attending their institution.

"Our university records do not show a student by the name of Ippei Mizuhara having attended UC Riverside," a spokesperson from the university confirmed. The spokesman did not comment on the possibility of Mizuhara attending the university under an alternative or similar name.

Digging further, reports had previously indicated that Mizuhara worked as Hideki Okajima's interpreter with the Boston Red Sox in 2010. To the surprise of many, the Red Sox have vehemently denied Mizuhara ever being employed by the team or serving as Okajima's interpreter during his tenure with the organization.

"We are reaching out to all of you because of reports in various outlets stating that Ippei Mizuhara worked for the Red Sox as an interpreter, which is incorrect," the Red Sox clarified in a statement. "Mizuhara was never employed by the Boston Red Sox in any capacity and was not an interpreter for Hideki Okajima during the pitcher's time with the team. Please know that we have thoroughly checked our files to ensure we are providing accurate information."

These revelations raise serious questions about Mizuhara's credibility and the integrity of his past associations. With the ongoing gambling scandal surrounding him, these discrepancies only add fuel to the fire and cast doubt on his overall trustworthiness.

As the investigations into the gambling scandal and Mizuhara's background continue, it remains to be seen how this will impact the reputation of both Mizuhara and those associated with him. The baseball world waits with bated breath for further developments in this unfolding story.
