soccer player, Asasyoryu


Sumo wrestler (rikishi) Asasyoryu was punished by the Japan sumo association in August 2007 as he played soccer with Hidetoshi Nakata who was famous soccer player while he did not attend the annual summer sumo tour because of his bone fracture of a waist.

When the video that Asasyoryu played soccer in Mongolia was broadcasted on Japanese TV, he was criticized immediately. Many people say as follows,
"He acts like this because he don't learn the meaning of his position as Yokozuna, which is the most authorized position of Japanese national sports sumo. He should not be permitted."

Even if they say so, I think that the role as the Mongolian may be important for him. He is a Mongolian, not a Japanese and he is a hero in Mongolia. Nevertheless He does not have much time to make it for a mother country. So, he may have taken such action this time.

He sometimes causes a problem, but anyone knows that his ability of sumo is genuine and can please many people. I hope that he plays an active part as a necessary villain at the place of the sumo ring.

I remember this trouble. The world of Sumo is one trouble after another. The latest trouble about Sumo is that three sumo wrestler injected a narcotic.

He has something in his nature that I can't hate him. I'd like him to preserve his dignity as top of sumo wrestler, Yokozuna. But I want him to be like him.
