The money in Paris led him to pull it out.

The bankbook is worth more than I’ve ever seen!”

Medalists from last year’s Paris Olympics were in high demand for special programs on TV stations during the year-end and New Year holidays. Among them, Natsumi Tsunoda, 32, a gold medalist in the women’s 48-kilogram judo weight class, has been active in programs and events since the Olympics.

In the January 2 broadcast of TV Asahi’s “Yume Showdown 2025: The King of Sports is Me, Tonneruzu”, Kakuda faced off against four other celebrities, including Ky~-Udo Suzuki (54), who holds the first dan in judo, and Yoshinari Fukushima (47), the world jujitsu champion. The fourth competitor, Fukushima, won with 31 seconds remaining in the time limit with his signature move, the Tomoe Nage. He also won the “pressure archery” competition with actor Takuya Kimura (52) on TBS’s “New Year’s Eve All-Star Sports Festival,” which aired on December 31.

His income also seems to have increased significantly; in a special program on “Junk SPORTS” (Fuji TV) broadcast on December 23, when asked about “how his life has drastically changed after the Paris Olympics,” he replied, “My bank book has become an amount of money I have never seen before! I’ve never seen this amount of money in my bank book before! Although he did not reveal the amount, he answered, “I had never seen such a large amount of money in my bankbook before. I received bonuses from the company and the government. I counted it all at once. I counted it: 1, 10, 100 ……. I was so happy. I was so happy,” he said with a smile on his face.

The JOC (Japanese Olympic Committee) gave me 5 million yen as a reward for winning the gold medal, but my organization, the All-Japan Judo Federation, gave me zero yen. However, it is clear that her income has increased dramatically due to the “Olympic bubble,” including the incentive from SBC Shonan Cosmetic Clinic, to which she belongs, earnings from YouTube, which now has more than 150,000 registered users, and appearance fees for TV programs, events, and LAWSON commercials.

As a “reward” to herself, she uploaded a video on December 30 showing the delivery of her new car, a luxury Japanese-made Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and in an Instagram update on December 2, she reported that she had invited her coach and parents on a trip to a hot spring as a token of her gratitude. He reported that he had invited his coach and parents to a trip to a hot spring as a thank-you gift. Her popularity is increasing due to her solid use of money,” said a reporter from a sports newspaper.

Kakuta has become accustomed not only to the physical variety of sports, but also to talk shows, and her latest “ironclad” topic is that of her ex-boyfriends. On “Junk,” the topic of his love life came up, and when MC Masanori Hamada (61) asked him if he was popular with the ladies, he replied, “ No, no, I’m not. He shook his head and said, “No, no, I’m not popular, I’m not popular. I m not popular . I’ m really not popular . He continued, “No, no, I’m not popular.

I haven’t had anyone to go out with since we broke up a year ago. I haven’t met anyone. I thought about using a matching app, but everyone around me stopped me.

Then, co-star Wolf Aron (28), a gold medalist in the 100-kilogram weight class at the Tokyo Olympics, revealed , “I know Kakuta’s ex-boyfriend, and I think he likes a sturdy guy. Kakuta laughed.
