A new Barbie doll has been released that's based on Naomi Osaka. But many fans of the tennis star will be disappointed — because the doll sold out in just a few hours.
The doll is part of the Barbie Role Model collection from toy company Mattel, which includes dolls based on inspiring women. Osaka's doll costs $30 and comes with a tennis racket and ball. Osaka explained on Instagram that it's wearing the same clothes she wore at the 2020 Australian Open.
"I really hope every child is reminded that they can be and do anything," she wrote. "This is really seeing a dream of mine come to life."
Carlyle Nuera, who created the doll, said that while Osaka is very skilled, what he likes most about her is how she uses her success to raise awareness of important issues. She often speaks about things such as racism, human rights and mental health.
This isn't the first Barbie doll based on Osaka, however. In 2019, Mattel made a doll of the tennis player as part of its "Shero" collection, which includes dolls of many famous and successful women.
Osaka, who started playing tennis aged 3, became the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam competition, and the first Asian player to be named number one in the world. In 2021, she didn't play in the French Open because of mental health problems, and also didn't play at Wimbledon. But she plans to play for Japan at the Olympics.

🌏Summary
以網球明星大坂直美為模型的新芭比娃娃在短短上市幾小時內就賣光了。大坂的娃娃售價30美金，附贈一支網球拍和一顆網球。大坂在Instagram上表示，這娃娃穿的衣服跟她在2020年澳洲網球公開賽穿的一樣。打造這款娃娃的藝術家表示，他最喜歡大坂的地方，其實並不是她高明的網球技巧。他被圈粉的點是，她如何利用自身的成功，來提升公眾對重要議題的意識。 她經常談論像是種族主義、人權和心理健康等議題。
