Asakayama Oyakata in the spotlight due to the Hakuho problem… The human power of Kaio, the greatest ozeki in history, who embodied “gentle in spirit but powerful in power

Since before the March tournament, the Grand Sumo Association has been rocked by the issue of former yokozuna Hakuho’s (Miyagino) treatment at the Miyagino stable.

At one point, some said that the association executives were discussing eliminating the room, but on March 10, Asakayama Oyakata, the stablemaster of former ozeki Kaio, also a member of the Isegahama clan, said, “There is absolutely no such thing,

However, on March 10, Asakayama Oyakata, a former ozeki and a member of the Isegahama clan, denied such a thing.

He denied it. He said that he had submitted several proposals to the executive committee of the JSA,

The lives of many people are at stake. I can’t say anything appropriate. I don’t even know if it will pass or not.

He declined to give further details. Later, it was reported that final arrangements were being made to transfer Asakayama Oyakata to the Asakayama stable, where he is the master, in a bilateral agreement between master and apprentice,

Asakayama Oyakata told Nikkan Sports on April 17, “I have talked with the executive board, but I don’t know how it will turn out. I have already told them what I think of them.

He explained, “I have already told them what I think about it.

There are strong voices in the Ichimon and in the executive committee that favor a lump transfer to the Asakayama stable. The rest is up to Asakayama Oyakata, who has a character of not being able to refuse a request. It seems that the decision has almost been made in that direction.

Asakayama Oyakata is suddenly attracting a lot of attention, but since his active days he has been known as a man of moderate character, the embodiment of the ideal sumo wrestler: “In his prime, Asakayama Oyakata was a one-handed rinpai.

In his prime, he was the strongest of all rikishi, squeezing an apple with one hand and shaking off a survey meter that could weigh up to 100 kilograms. He drank heavily and was also known for his bad drinking habits (laughs). At first glance, he appears to be a bold man, but he is extremely mild-mannered and shy. It is said that until he became a juryo rikishi, he could hardly talk to other rikishi.
