Kotooshu is a blogger

May 31st, 2008 by James

Bulgarian sumo wrestler Kotooshu now has a blog:

he blogs

This blog is now becoming popular among Japanese. But that’s might not be in the exact same way he had expected. Although its title is written in kanji and hiragana, he posts the entry in all hiragana, and many Japanese think it’s ‘kawaii.’(cute)

Imagine how he posted the entry. The man over 200cm and 150kg types these hiragana words with biggest palm in front of the smallest palm top. After two-hour struggle, he posted a picture, just saying ‘たい2ひき’, or ‘おさけ’. Certainly, this gap is kawaii.

As many people starts blogging, it looks he spent all his passion on the first day and hadn’t posted any since May 26th, but if he can keep it , it’s sure he can become a famous blogger in Japanese blogsphere like Nakagawa Shokotan.

For more info, check out the Road to the Deep East (English), or head straight to his blog (Japanese).

Does he really not know kanji? To me the Japanese he speaks in interviews seems very good. Maybe it’s a marketing gimmick? The blog seems to be all about promoting Yoghurt anyway.
