Confirmation of “Oniden” and his behavior

Mr. A did not resist, and he continued to curry favor with Tamasho Feng until he was released the next day.

Mr. A did not resist and continued to keep Tama Shoho in good humor until he was released the next day. The restraints were extraordinary. If I didn’t get in touch with him for a while, he would start calling me with a devilish phone call. He didn’t believe me when I explained that I was having a drink with a friend, and even came to the restaurant to check on me after I sent him a picture of where I was having a drink. I became so afraid of him that I even started dreaming about him, and in mid-February I asked him to delete my pictures and videos, and blocked him from LINE, etc.’

That was going to be the end of it, Ms. A. What led her to file the accusation?

Just before the Osaka tournament started in March, I received a sealed letter from him at home. It contained a ranking list, but it sent a chill down my spine when I remembered that he knew my home address.

After consulting with fellow sumo fans, I found out that there were other women who had been persistently invited by Tamasho Hou to ‘meet’ with him. Over the years, there have also been multiple posts on internet forums denouncing his love of women at …….

I am afraid of getting back at him, but I made the accusations because I don’t want any more victims like me. I want him to repent.”

After the interview, Ms. A visited the police station to discuss her fears of stalking and revenge pornography. The police confirmed the evidence she submitted, including her call history, and promised to regularly check her safety and patrol the area.

What does Tamasho Hou hear about her determined accusations? The opening question and answer continued as follows.

I am not restraining (binding) anyone. If you say I am, just tell the police. I would rather you go to the police. I haven’t done anything.”

–Did you send him persistent messages?

I just sent them back because they sent me messages. It’s not wrong to send them back, is it?”

–Is it true that you filmed the sexual acts?

We both took pictures, but I erased them. “We filmed each other, but I erased it. Of course we erased it, because we weren’t dating in the first place. We only met because he asked to see me.

–Did you do the same thing to other women?

I’m not married, okay?　Do you realize that?”

Kataonami Oyakata gave him one of the characters from his current yomata name, Tamakasunichi, and named him Tamasho Hou with the hope that he would “live righteously. The heart of a parent does not know its child,” he said.
