Goldfish scooping "Ichige entrance examination" national convention passed the university with good results for the first time on December 13 at 16:10
High school students who performed well in the national competition of goldfish scooping passed the so-called “Ichige entrance examination” of Kansai Gaidai University, which selects students who had excellent results in various fields. According to Yamatokoriyama City, Nara Prefecture, which is hosting the tournament, it is the first time that I have passed the university in the goldfish scooping competition.
The student who passed Kansai University of Foreign Studies was Rio Miyake (17), a third-year high school student in Hirano-ku, Osaka.
Mr. Miyake, in the general department of the annual goldfish scooping tournament held in Yamatokoriyama City, Nara Prefecture, was ranked 4th when he was in high school first year, and since then improved to 3rd place and 2nd place. .
Taking this goldfish scoop as a special skill, I took the so-called “Ichige entrance examination” at Kansai Gaidai University in Hirakata City, Osaka, and passed it along with the results of high school, essay and interview.
Mr. Miyake has been practicing at the goldfish scooping dojo in Yamatokoriyama City once a week since his fourth year in elementary school.
Mr. Miyake said, “I was really surprised because I didn't expect to pass the university with a goldfish scoop. I would like to study English well and convey the appeal of goldfish scooping to foreigners.” .
The goldfish scooping national tournament has been held every year since 1995 in Yamatokoriyama City, one of the largest goldfish producers in the country.
