For the first time in the history of yokozuna, we will provide "Fist of the North Star" Raoh makeup mawashi to Kisenosato Yutaka.

As a new project, we have newly collaborated on "Manga x Sumo" to produce a make-up mawashi depicting Kenshiro, Raoh, and Toki of "Fist of the North Star" and provided it to the 72nd Yokozuna Kisenosato Yutaka. increase.

Kisenosato Yutaka will be the first yokozuna to wear a make-up mawashi with a set of three cartoon characters at the Sumo Summer Basho in May, and will enter the field.
* You can see the real thing at the "Yokozuna Promotion Reception" scheduled to be held on May 5th.

Our representative, Horie, has been supporting Kisenosato Yutaka for a long time since the Ozeki era, and has promised to give a make-up mawashi when Kisenosato Yutaka becomes a yokozuna.After the decision to win the place in January 2017, Kisenosato Yutaka, who was promoted to Yokozuna, came to our company after the Yokozuna promotion transmission ceremony and selected Raoh from "Fist of the North Star" to wear this time. I arrived.

The reason why Kisenosato Seki chose Raoh is because he obediently obeyed the teaching of his respected master Naruto (former Yokozuna Takanosato) that he could not become stronger unless he was lonely. It comes from the idea that the current appearance of myself, who has been striving for loneliness so far without doing so, overlaps with Raoh, who fights lonely, instead of Kenshiro, the main character.

Horie talks about the background of this time and his feelings for Kisenosato Yutaka as follows.

―――― What made you decide to give a make-up mawashi?
"I came to the editor-in-chief of" Weekly Shonen Jump "and was taken care of by the existence of a boy, so I wanted to give back to the boy. The work "Oda Saburo Nobunagaden" also has a homage to boys. Because boys are immature, it is attractive to push forward with courage.
I saw that Kisenosato had something like a lump of boys, and promised to make a mawashi when it became a yokozuna.He came to us first, saying, "Because I promised first" when I became a yokozuna.I'm also impressed by that kind of in-law. "

―――― What kind of place do you feel boyhood in Kisenosato?
"It's innocent trying to keep what my boss says. Even if I get injured, I have the courage to go if I think this is my showcase. I'm prepared to show myself in a difficult situation. Yes. I think that's the kind of boy. Kisenosato Yutaka is the "boy's mass" that I met for the first time in a long time.
I'm old too, but I have a longing for the wonderfulness of the boy.The immaturity and foolishness that you forget when you get older actually opens up the future.I am encouraged by the boyhood of Kisenosato.That's why I want him to be a yokozuna as a boy all the time. "

―――― What do you think about make-up using manga?
"It's a real honor to have chosen the material of manga. I'm more than happy and impressed to have the manga's Mawashi, rather than the" Fist of the North Star ". On behalf of, I feel like saying thank you. Kisenosato also thinks that "everyone will be surprised", and such an innocent and mischievous place is also a boy.Looking at this make-up mawashi, I want you to be a yokozuna that young people and children will admire. "

 

We also received comments from Kisenosato Yutaka about Mawashi.

"When choosing a make-up mawashi, I wondered if there was Raoh in my personality.

I have an image of being lonely and strong.
It has a strong presence and the body is amazing!

If you are a sumo wrestler, I wanted to look like this.The previous master (Naruto master) also said, "You can't be strong unless you're lonely."

Raoh's make-up mawashi is a make-up mawashi that gives you invisible power just by wearing it, so I would like you to see it live.They are very particular about making it, so I would like you to come visit us on a tour or at this place.I want to be ashamed of the wonderful characters and not lose in my feelings.I think it will get a lot of attention and I'm looking forward to it the most. "

Kisenosato Yutaka's stance of earnestly working on sumo is similar to our stance of wanting to spread manga widely to the world and to contribute to the development of the manga world, with the concept of "serious in manga". We will continue to support Kisenosato Yutaka.

"Manga Hot", which is scheduled to be released in early summer 2017, is a manga app full of such thoughts. Including legendary works such as "Fist of the North Star" and "City Hunter", rare village support projects will be delivered one after another.
The app will start accepting pre-registration on the Manga Hot Teaser site from the beginning of May, so please look forward to it.
