The man has a well-trained body with a thick chest plate, and also has terrific tattoos on the back of his head and legs. However, the man seen by this magazine’s photographer did not seem powerful in the ring. He got into the transportation vehicle with his face down throughout the entire trip, as if he had been exhausted.

On May 22, the Saitama Prefectural Police Organized Crime Division and the Kuki Police Station arrested former fighter Ensen Inoue (57, real name Inoue Ensen Shouji) on suspicion of violating the Narcotics Control Law (importation). The suspect is a Japanese-American from Hawaii. He studied Brazilian jiu-jitsu and made his debut in the mixed martial arts tournament “Shuto” in January 1995.

The alleged incident occurred in April of this year. On April 18, Ensen sent chocolates containing narcotic ingredients from Hawaii to his home in Saitama Prefecture via international parcel post. Tokyo Customs found the chocolates upon arrival at Narita Airport (Narita City, Chiba Prefecture) on the 24th; inside the A4-size envelope were six bars of the chocolates.

When customs examined them, they found narcotic ingredients in one of the six bars. The chocolates were sold commercially at 7,786 yen per bar (retail price) and were placed inside the product package. The contents were probably replaced. Along with Ensen, his wife, McCann Sarah Jane, 37, a New Zealand citizen, was also arrested.

The police have not disclosed the admissions or denials of both suspects.

The suspect, Ensen, was active in “PRIDE” and “New Japan Pro-Wrestling” under the motif of “Yamato Spirit. He also has a tattoo of “Yamato Spirit” on his body. He has a tattoo of “Yamato Spirit” on his own body, and has been known to say things like, “I fight with the intention of killing my opponent,” “I will never tap my opponent,” and “Fuck you who said I would lose! He has made statements with a fighting spirit, such as “I fight with the intention of killing my opponent,” “I never tap,” and “Fuck you who says I lose!

On the other hand, he was also a troublemaker. On the other hand, he was also a troublemaker. He often caused a commotion by injuring a reporter and blackmailing and assaulting the president of his company. In October 2008, he was caught red-handed with 16.9 g of marijuana when he was questioned on duty in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, and was sentenced to 10 months in prison with a three-year suspended sentence.

In May of this year, he wrote on his X, “This world is wrong. Drugs must stop! on his X page. Since he was arrested shortly after that, it is no surprise that he appeared exhausted when he was sent to the police station.

The police believe that the suspect mailed the drugs to Ensen with the intention of using them, and are investigating the details of how he obtained them.
