The relationship between Ahn Chang-rim and Hashimoto is deep.
Ahn Chang-rim, the third-year-old Korean-Japanese in Japan, played for Japan until 2013, but rejected Japanese naturalization requests and moved to Korea in 2014.
After winning the All-Japan Student Championships in 2013, Ahn Chang-rim transferred to Yongin University in Korea, and Hashimoto was the player he met in the final of the tournament.
After that, Ahn Chang-lim met Hashimoto at the international competition twice and lost both, but won the final of the Hohhot Grand Prix in China in May 2018 and the final of the World Championships in September 2018.
Hashimoto is the strongest man who has reached number one in the world ranking of this weight class until recently.
However, Shohei Ono of Japan, who is’double walled’ with Hashimoto in that weight category, did not compete in this event. Ahn Chang-rim was weak enough to record 5 matches against Ohno.
Ahn Chang-lim has a strong will to win the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics beyond Hashimoto and Ono.
In a recent interview, he said, “Tokyo Budokan, where the Tokyo Olympics is held, is the place where we won our first national championship in Japan,” he said. “I want to win the gold medal and hear the national anthem.”
