Crossing upper strokes above a handwritten SHOTIME
Long angular strokes cross through the upper autograph, with a broad oval return toward the right. SHOTIME appears in separate upright capitals beneath it. Compare the compressed upper mark with those clearly spaced letters: the lower addition contributes to the complete image’s height and ink groups, while the sweeping name gesture supplies most of its breadth.

Opening, letter body and finish
The opening is lower than the typical letter body. The opening-to-body ratio is 0.67×, while the whole image is 2.06 times as wide as it is tall. The rightmost ink finishes above the writing line; look at this ending separately from the slant of the letters themselves.
Loops and the lower flourish
The sample contains 1 enclosed loop and 8 main ink groups. The lower flourish spans about 24% of the full ink width, giving the name another line to follow beneath its letters.
Shohei Ohtani’s signature in graphology
Traditional graphology associates extended crossing strokes with expressive public emphasis. Here the upper sweep frames a compact autograph, while the separate SHOTIME line provides a second, more readable point of emphasis.
