I may have imagined it, but I think he served it into right field for a base hit. I'm pretty sure it's from his old days in Japan. Can somebody link me to it?

I actually watched a bit about Ichiro where he used to use that as part of his training regimen ... he would have the practice pitcher intentionally throw one hoppers for him to hit. This would help him focus on the ball even more and is one of the reasons why he is such a dangerous contact hitter.
As far as a video clip, I'm not sure.

I dont know the answer to your question but I was umpiring a high school ballgame where a player hit a home-run off a bounced ball,and it perfectly legal. Everybody went nuts,the coaches didn't have a clue,but my partner and I got it right and awarded him a HR

He probably has. I know I've seen Vlad Guerrero do it and he is also a free swinger who makes crazy contact like Ichiro.

I haven't seen one of him doing it. I remember Oscar Robles of the Dodgers doing it a couple years ago.

Yes. It was from when he played in Japan.
