Dekopin, means to flick someone on the forehead, which in Japan its a gesture to sort of say "We're good friends". In English terms its like calling your dog "Buddy".

His sense of naming is like that of a Japanese elementary school boy.😅

DECOPIN It's a Japanese slang.

Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼 😇 🎁 Finally revealed the dog's name 😜 Go Ohtani 💪🤩✌️ Go Dodgers 🏆

Yay he's a fellow dog lover

I thought his dog's name was Deferral.

Kooikerhondje. Originally a hunting dog used to lure ducks. Otani explained that the dog is DECOY because it is a breed commonly called Duck Decoy.

Fun facts from Japan🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 Dekopin = Odeko (meaning forehead; saying Deko is a slightly broken way of saying Odeko). +pin (Japanese for the sound made when you pop something off with your finger) = finger-popping on the forehead. This is mostly a gesture often used in the past between family members or close friends to say, "Calm down, get a grip." or "Don't be in a hurry, listen to me, there is more to the story". or "You're trying so hard to sound mature, you're so cute." It was used when wanting to say. This gesture can also be used when you want to convey your feelings of support, saying, ``Don't look down. Don't be self-deprecating. Be confident. Always remember that there is at least one person here who will support you and be your ally.'' Use. Also, it's a signal to have an important conversation, saying, ``I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but I think this is an important moment, so I'm going to tell you my true feelings. So please listen seriously.'' It also becomes. It is also used in scenes where the character says, ``It's okay, don't worry. I'll definitely come back safely. So please trust me and wait for me.'' and ``Where have you been? It is also used to say "I was very worried." In any case, this is a gesture used towards someone you have a very close relationship with. Although it is rarely used in practice nowadays, children in kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high school sometimes make this gesture when they want to imitate adults, when they are having a pleasant conversation with friends, or when they want to hide their embarrassment. It is also a common expression in Manga, Anime, films and dramas. In reality, it is usually done very slightly, but in creative works it is often used as 'one of the ways of expressing the strength of a character facing a drunken or evil person'. Most obvious example: the scene in Rurouni Kenshin where Sanosuke blasts one of the drunken men with a single Dekopin blow when he first appears. Second most obvious example: the scene in Jujutsu kaisen where Satoru Gojyou explains to one of his students, Megumi Fushiguro, about the kind of determination it takes to become strong. Third most obvious scene: the scene where Naruto Itachi Uchiha and his brother Sasuke reminisce about their childhood and bereavement. (However, in the case of these brothers, it is a bit of finger poking rather than Dekopin.) So the real name of this cute puppy, or rather the English name Decoy, is a word that sounds similar but has a completely different meaning. It is wonderful, full of purity, with a smiling sense of naming, as if he were a little boy. This news is highly appreciated like that in Japan.

All Japanese people laugh the dog name lol Decopin means good relationship like a friendship or good partner. デコピンという名前に日本人は全員笑ってると思うww ネーミングセンスよ😂

I thought his doggo's name was Koike-san who loves Ramen.

Decoy is far from Deco-pin

Japanese people are a little confused by the name "Dekopin". In children's language, it refers to the act of flicking someone's forehead with your fingertips. In other words, it is a punishment for the loser of the game.

Dekopin? Decoy?

Ohtani said the slider he throws he learned from Roger Beshens in May 2018. It's called the Football Slider and Roger deserves all the credit for helping the pitching side of his game. On center grip, throw like a football, stiff wrist it how's it's thrown.

Forehead Flick

Why in the hell would you name your dog Dekopin? It hurts!!

Imagine getting gmpaid to ask stupid questions

decoy is not the right definition for dekopin
