COVID-19 crisis, drunkenness at a Mongolian restaurant…Suspended Itsu-no-shiro is suspected of bumping off “the beautiful landlady of the Minato room,” a surprisingly true face.

Will this be the end of the matter?

On December 26, 2010, the Japan Sumo Association held an extraordinary meeting of its board of directors and suspended Itsu-nojo (29), the seventh highest-ranking wrestler in the Higashi-maegashira division, for one month. In August 2009, it was revealed that he had also visited the same restaurant and was drunk. However, the November 2010 Shukan Bunshun (Weekly Bunshun) report on the incident in which Itsu-nojo hit the proprietress was dropped because he had no intention of seeking disciplinary action against her. In response to the association’s investigation, Itsunoshiro apologized and said, “I’m sorry.

Friday Digital” reported the series of troubles in detail in an article distributed on November 14, 2010. We would like to recap the circumstances of the incident (some corrections have been made).

Itsu-no-jo’s scandal was reported in the November 10 issue of “Shukan Bunshun” (weekly magazine). However, behind his back, he was in serious trouble with his master, Minato Oyakata, and the landlady.

Itsu-nojo is usually a quiet rikishi who takes good care of his younger apprentices. However, he has a bad drinking habit. When he gets into the mood for alcohol, he changes and lashes out at anyone who gets in his way. The proprietress of the stable, who was present, was beaten to a pulp and even bruised. Minato Oyakata was concerned about Itsu-nojo’s bad drinking habits and did not allow him to live alone, but made him live in his room even after he became a rikishi.

The trouble started about a year ago. It was discovered that Itsunoshiro had broken his curfew and was out drinking with an acquaintance from Mongolia. Kikkake’s stablemaster severely reprimanded Itsu-nojo. Itsu-nojo rebels. It is said that he lashed out at the restrictions on his activities under the influence of Korona and his frustration at having to break up with a woman he was dating because he could no longer live alone.

Cancellation of the association’s program

After discussions with his stablemaster, Itsu-nojo began to work on his sobriety, including undergoing counseling. His wishes were accepted, and he began living alone in December 2009. He thought his problem was solved, but then he went to …….

In February 2010, he got drunk again and missed training without permission. In August, he cancelled the Sumo Association’s official YouTube program.

In August, he cancelled an official YouTube program of the Sumo Association. He told the stablemaster, “I have retained a lawyer. From now on, I can only talk to you through a representative. The stablemaster, who was greatly perplexed, consulted the Sumo Association. The association’s investigation began in November,” said a source close to the association.

The Sumo Association was particularly concerned about the allegations of assault against the landlady.

The head mistress was concerned about Itsu-nojo’s drinking habits and would accompany him when he went out for drinks,” said a Sumo Association official. However, Itsu-nojo still verbally abused and swore at the waitress and the customers around her. On one occasion, he even hit the proprietress who stopped him and injured her. Itsu-nojo was probably under the stress of being watched by the landlady, who was always in the same room with him, even though he was out drinking for a change.

The landlady of the Minato stable is famous in the sumo world as a beautiful woman. Her background is also unusual.

She is a doctor who was enrolled in the graduate school of Saitama Medical University. She married the stablemaster in 2001. Her parents were also doctors, and after she became the proprietress, she worked at a nursing home near the stable (Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture). She is a strong woman who is always thinking about food and the health care of the rikishi.

However, she also has an opinionated personality about everything. When we were interviewing her at the stable, the landlady often spoke out of turn and the stablemaster laughed at her, saying, “That’s okay. Perhaps she was a “smoky presence” for Itsu-nojo. The stablemaster seemed to be unable to keep his head above water.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Itsu-no-jo was suspended for one month due to a series of incidents. However, his relationship with the stablemaster remains cool. It will likely take time to resolve the issue.
