On January 24, Hiroto Hanada, who was a resident of Hirosaki and watched on TV, entered the dedication ring in a rare village that became the first Japanese Yokozuna in 19 years.

Mr. Hanada currently runs the Chanko restaurant "Vegetarian Kenmi Chanko Takamaru" (Shinagawa Town, Hirosaki City, TEL 0172-55-9853). After graduating from Hirosaki Third Junior High School, in 1992, he entered the Naruto room, which was established by his master Naruto in Mototaka no Sato from Aomori Namioka, and spent 15 years living as a wrestler.

It was 2001 when Rare Village was introduced to Naruto Room. Mr. Hanada said that he was an educator at a rare village just after graduating from junior high school. He taught him how to clean and how to interact with people. “I'm serious, but there was one side of it,” he recalls.

As the name suggests, the power of the rare village is "rare", and Hanada said he was getting stronger when he woke up. In March 2004, he became an attendant when a rare village became Sekitori. Master Naruto told me that he knew, "I don't know." "The relationship between Sekitori and his attendants, the relationship between seniors and juniors remained the same, and they respected each other," he continued until January 2007, when Mr. Hanada retired.

When Mr. Hanada retired, the rare village greeted Senshu with 7 wins and 7 losses, and vowed to win over the people who were taken care of, but the result was lost. According to a person in the room after retiring, he was leaking to others when he was sorry for losing.

In August 2014, we invited the Tagonoura Room (formerly Naruto Room) to the Budokan in Aomori Prefecture (Toyota, Hirosaki City), and called a rare village, Wakanosato, Takayasu, etc. to hold an open rehearsal. “I hadn't had any training in Aomori since my master Naruto died suddenly in 2011, but it was realized due to a request from the public,” Hanada said. As many as 2000 people visited in two days.

Mr. Hanada, who saw on TV how Yokozuna had been interviewed in a box, said he had once felt that it was a rare village. "The reporter asked me to smile, but I didn't show a smile. I felt not only the joy of becoming a Yokozuna, but also my readiness for the future."

Mr. Hanada, who saw the entrance to the votive ring at 15 o'clock live, sent an ale saying, "I want you to be careful of injuries and do your best as before."
