For White Sox’s Murakami, TOTO WASHLET Steps Up to the Plate
- Elite athletes build preparation routines they trust and repeat every day.
- For Chicago White Sox infielder Munetaka Murakami, TOTO WASHLET has long been part of that trusted routine.
- When he joined the White Sox, Murakami requested that TOTO WASHLET bidet seats be installed in the clubhouse so he could continue that routine throughout his first Major League Baseball season.

From the White Sox Clubhouse to Rate Field
TOTO is proud to have made our Major League Baseball sponsorship debut as the presenting sponsor of the Chicago White Sox Munetaka Murakami “First Major League Home Run” Bobblehead Day. The partnership marks a major milestone in TOTO’s entry into Major League Baseball sponsorships.
As Munetaka Murakami prepared for his first Major League Baseball season with the Chicago White Sox, he requested that TOTO WASHLET bidet seats be installed in the team’s clubhouse so he could continue a familiar daily routine from his home country of Japan.
On July 26, the WASHLET story extended beyond the clubhouse and into Rate Field, where Chicago White Sox fans discovered the innovation that has become part of Murakami’s trusted preparation routine.
Before the gates opened, fans stepped inside the TOTO WASHLET Mobile Showroom for live product demonstrations and a firsthand look at the technology behind TOTO WASHLET bidet seats.
