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
The transfer of Miyagino Oyakata and his disciples to the Asakayama stable was discussed on social networking sites,
I think Mr. Asakayama, who has a big heart and a strong sense of responsibility, will accept the transfer.
I think we should definitely not do this. I think we should definitely not do this.
The overwhelming majority of people were concerned about it, such as ……. Former Sumo Association external committee member and cartoonist Yaku Mitsuru said, “Kaio in his active days was a very strong wrestler.
Kaio in his active days was the epitome of the ideal Japanese sumo wrestler, and he was very popular. Hakuho is the opposite of Kaio. Asakayama Oyakata himself is the kind of person who quietly watches over his disciples rather than verbally tells them what to do, so we will have to see how Miyagino Oyakata behaves under him. …. I have a feeling there will still be a stir.”
Asakayama Oyakata is said to be one of the top candidates to be the president of the board of trustees in the future, along with Nisshonoseki Oyakata, the former yokozuna Rarezato. We will have to wait and see.
