Grand sumo wrestler, former Ozeki Kotokaze's tail car master, will attend a press conference next month before the retirement age of the Japan Sumo Association. I hope that the number will increase as much as possible. "

Former Ozeki Kotokaze tail car master is from Tsu city, Mie prefecture.


He stepped on the first ring at the Nagoya place in 1971, overcame a serious injury on his left knee, and was promoted to Ozeki after the autumn place in 1981.


During his active career, he was good at "strawling" and won the championship twice.



After he finally retired from Kyushu in 1985, he founded the Oguruma stable, trained many wrestlers such as former Sekiwake Gofu and Yoshikaze, and also served as the general manager of the Japan Sumo Association. I've been.



Next month, Mr. Ogura attended an online press conference on the 21st, before he reached the retirement age of 65 for the Sumo Association.



Mr. Ogura said, "It was too early, but when I think back, I feel that there were so many things. I went to see the lessons 51 years ago and entered the corner world, and my life was no sumo. I never thought that I wouldn't be able to think about it. I'm thinking that it would be a good memory to finish the painful things, "he said.



And about the future sumo wrestling, "I hope that the number of good efforts that will make more customers excited and want to go to the venue will increase as much as possible. For that purpose, it will be great if we do not practice each other. He said, "It will be a tasteful sumo wrestler." "I think it would be useful if the young wrestlers now have the opportunity to talk about old lessons. I want to talk about that. "
