Asashoryu in Hawaii
February 10th, 2010 by James
The day after announcing his retirement, former sumo Grand Champion Asashoryu got on a plane to Hawaii:
The Japanese press is wildly speculating about why he went to Hawaii and what he may be planning in the future. It is rumored that Asashoryu had some drinks with MMA fighter Satoshi Ishii, who is known to have announced a desire to fight against him. Does that mean that Asashoryu could be considering a career as a professional fighter? Representatives of MMA organizations have expressed interest in Asashoryu, but nobody knows what he is planning.
Will he go back to Mongolia for the Lunar New Year? Will he go to Vancouver to watch the Olympics? Will he go back to Japan and undergo police questioning? So far, Asashoryu seems content to keep playing golf in Hawaii.

This strikes me as nothing than disgraceful stalking behaviour. Who cares where he travels next? Could probably call the cops on them.

We know that you japanese made him quit sumo because of his possible breaking record of Taiho’s 32 title. You guys will never win him. Just give him up. Make him relax. Whatever he chooses to career, he’ll be the best..
and don’t insult us saying about Chinese new year. It’s mongolian lunar year called white moon

A husband and a father of Monoglian citizens answers.
“We know that you japanese made him quit sumo because of his possible breaking record of Taiho’s 32 title”
You are missing simple facts.
1)Japanese didn’t “made”him quite.He was warned multiple times for years and chose the fate that he deserves.
2) Assasyoryu would have sucked a lot sooner had he was a Japanese.
3)Taiho was born an Ukranian and later naturalized.We don’t give a damn if the Sumo record holder is an Ukranian-Japanese or a Mongolian,just like we didn’t care when a Chinese dude became the top home runner in baseball worid way back in 1976.
“Whatever he chooses to career, he’ll be the best.”
And the most likely scenario is him becoming politician in Mongolia.A problem most likely cause trouble in the future.
“and don’t insult us saying about Chinese new year. It’s mongolian lunar year called white moon”
Sigh.These comments makes me worry about my adopted homeland even more.

i am fed up with this fuss about him too. he had better to move into his country and concentrate on his own business at there for a while. then the most disgrace media in the world will find next target and forget about him. but…if he has a plan to keep staying in jp and start new business here, this fuss is good for his sales promotion. its up to him ether way.
