Tokyo Customs accuses company employee of smuggling fake Shohei Otani uniforms | NHK | Incident

A sumo wrestler belonging to Nishiiwa stable confesses that the perpetrators of the slander were his 'real mother and grandmother' and apologizes and resolves, saying, 'I witnessed the disgrace of my parents...' - Sponichi Annex Entertainment

Nishiiwa stable official website

2024/10/23
This is Miki's village.
There is something I would like to tell you all, and with my parent's permission I am writing it down.
On X, two accounts, 'It's Sunny Today' and 'Melon Pan', have been posting slanderous comments about Nishiiwa stable for three months.
In fact, after researching with a lawyer at the end of August, I found out that 'Sunny Today' was my maternal grandmother and 'Melon Pan' was my mother.
I apologized to everyone in the room, but I was not able to apologize to everyone who supports me, so I would like to take this opportunity to apologize as well.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
2024/10/23
In July, I wanted to know the truth so I called my mother, who I considered the most suspicious, but she denied it.
No matter how many times I asked, she denied it, and I felt despair when I saw my mother lying.
After that, my mother and grandmother continued to post slanderous comments on social media.
After witnessing my parents' disgraceful behavior for three months, I never wanted to see my family again and wanted to cut ties with them, so I went to the ward office and had my family register separated.
In August, the lawyer heard the opinions of the younger brother and his father, who had left the room without permission, and found that there was no problem with the guidance of the room. (Continued)
2024/10/23
This issue has been resolved and I didn't intend to say anything, but the other day I found out that my father was posting lies and speculation on social media, venting his frustrations about the guidance of the master and his wife with fabricated stories, saying things like 'I will never forgive those who destroyed my family' and 'I will wait for them to return to their state of mind as if they were my own child', and I was shocked and unable to forgive them, so I decided to tell them how I felt. (continued)
2024/10/23
I feel a sense of responsibility every day, but I am very encouraged by the kind words I've received from my supporters and fellow wrestlers.
Thanks to that, I am still able to work hard today.
I feel so happy when I finish practicing and training.
I still haven't been able to write down everything I'm thinking, but from now on I'll be concentrating on the Kyushu tournament.
I will continue to do my best at Nishiiwa stable.



I went to see Joker 2 but ended up looking into the mirror instead
