Naomi Osaka is set for a comeback in January 2024. While she is training to play to rise back to the top, she is also taking part in several other ventures. Her list of off-court ventures has been growing ever since she won her first grand slam, and there is no slowing down now. Recently, she added another activity to the list as she taught her followers her mother tongue.

Osaka’s current venture is part of one that she began a few months ago. She joined with Meta to become an AI voice that taught viewers about Japanese culture. She added to that venture recently.

The AI she voices recently saw an upload on its Instagram page where she taught her followers Japanese. She translated the words ‘excited’, ‘amazing’, and ‘cool’ and signed off with a salute, wishing good luck to those looking to learn the language. The new tennis mom translated another word in the caption of the video. Osaka wrote, “お元気ですか = O genki desu ka = How are you? ♡♡♡“.
