Continuing Her Dominance Of The Sports Money World Naomi Osaka Is Nissan S Newest Global Ambassador

“Growing up, my dad drove a Nissan, so being able to be a brand ambassador now, it feels like I’ve come full circle,” said Osaka. She went on to say, “This week has been a dream come to life, and I’m so honored to represent Japan and Nissan on the world stage … I was drawn to partner with Nissan because of its strong Japanese DNA and global competitive spirit. The brand is always challenging expectations, and I look forward to bringing its vision for driving excitement to new audiences around the world.” The Japanese car company stated that Osaka, who was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and Haitian father, signed a three-year contract in which she would appear in global promotions and advertising. Osaka joins Nissan’s roster of athlete ambassadors that includes the likes of soccer players Gareth Bale and Sergio Aguero. Interestingly enough, Osaka revealed on Ellen Degeneres’ show earlier this week that she doesn’t actually own a car. That should all change very soon with the signing of this deal.
