Ichiro has no need for food, or emotion, or friendship ... he is all-seeing, all-knowing, all-consuming. Don't believe me? Like the Lochness Monster, no one has ever seen him eat. Seriously:His teammates respect Ichiro and speak highly of him. They've seen him do many things and marvel at his preparation, his dedication, but still they wonder: Does he ever eat?
Ben Broussard has never seen him eat, aside from one time when Ichiro was at his locker having "some kind of something he was munching on."
"If we knew what he was eating, a lot of us would try to eat it because it's working for him," Broussard said.
Batista thinks he saw Ichiro bring some "Japanese stuff" on the plane once but also said: "I've never seen him eat. Nobody has."
As a commenter at BBTF hilariously surmised, perhaps Ichiro feasts on our impure thoughts. Or, maybe, it's some sort of Japanese post-apocalyptic space food only Ichiro and the Japanese military have access to. Maybe it's pink, maybe it's something really cool I don't even know about ...
