From Japanese Sumo to American College Football

Japanese sports teams and individuals have been doing very well all over the world lately. Hidetora Haneda is another great athletic success.






The 6'1", 280 pound Hanada rose to the highest ranks of amateur sumo wrestling in Japan, before becoming the newest Colorado State University defensive lineman in the United States. He reportedly has come a long way with his English skills, he knows the basic rules of American football, and now he loves lasagna. I wish him the best with his new sport in the US!

Japanese people tend to stick to the sports they loved or learned when they were children.
However, in recent years, an increasing number of children are trying out various sports, just like in Europe and America.
I think the way parents think about developing their children’s potential has also changed.
I hope that Haneda-kun’s power cultivated in sumo will bloom further in America football.
