Asashoryu: fashion model?
Sumo grand champion Asashoryu has made his fashion modeling debut:
The yokozuna danced to the loud music along with female and male models during the event Shibuya Girls Collection in front of some 20,000 people, mostly teenage girls, at Yoyogi national gymnasium.
“I felt a kind of tension that was new to me,” an excited Asashoryu said, referring to the difference of the pressure from that he feels during sumo matches. “The shrill voices were also impressive,” the yokozuna also said.
Asashoryu wore the school uniform for the show because he played the role of a junior high school student in a recent TV commercial film promoting a beverage.
