Playback ’93] Ten months after the “engagement of the century” with Rie Miyazawa was called off, Takanohana’s “new love” was discovered and photographed!
In late August, I met her for the first time through a friend, had dinner with her, and went to karaoke. After that, we started talking on the phone. I myself was struggling with divorce issues, and he was my sounding board.”
Meanwhile, Takanohana made the following comment.
He is my best friend at the moment. I don’t have much free time because of tournaments, but when I have time, I want to go see him. But I am not thinking of marriage.
Perhaps the time he spent with Ako was a comforting time for him.
Takanohana changed his name to Takanohana in 1994 and finally became yokozuna in November of the same year. By the time he retired in 2003, he had amassed 429 victories (yokozuna record), making him a grand yokozuna who will go down in history. However, the brainwashing scandal, disagreements with his mother and brother, and other troubles that had plagued him during his active career continued even after his retirement. He was involved in an assault of an apprentice, the resignation of the Sumo Association and the disappearance of his stable, and a divorce from his wife Keiko ……. In August of this year, he remarried his “first love,” whom he had dated in his teens, which was the first bright news in a long time. Recently, however, there have been reports of trouble between her former agency and the agency represented by the son of her remarried partner.
The scoop at the time was a precious picture of Takanohana’s life, which has been full of ups and downs, and a “frame of his youth.
