This is the first venue for sumo wrestling, which attracts attention on social media with celebrities appearing in the broadcast every day. On the 10th day on the 23rd, a couple wearing pink came to watch the match, and it became a hot topic, with people saying, “They still stand out.”
When the NHK Grand Sumo broadcast showed the entertainer and rakugo storyteller Pei Hayashiya (82) and Paako Hayashiya (75) wearing their trademark pink costumes watching the match from the sand-covered seats in the Touhou area, social media posted a message saying, “Hayashiya.” One after another, people said, “Pe-san Pa-ko was there!” “Pa-Hayashiya-san stands out,” “It’s wonderful that the couple will always be friends,” “Pa-ko Hayashiya is coming to see us today!” The two were wearing flashy pink tops with the word “GO” written on them, and were pointing the camera at the wrestlers as usual.
As this is the first time the event has been held in Tokyo, the number of celebrities attending has been a hot topic. On the 15th, there will be director Katsuya Takasu of “Takasu Clinic”, former Ozeki Konishiki and talent KONISHIKI, on the 16th Rakugo storyteller Toka Chokarou and Shinji Shilla (Wakadanna), a member of “Shonan no Kaze”, and on the 19th there will be professional performers. Takashi Uchiyama, former WBA world super featherweight boxing champion, comedian Nezucchi on the 20th, and singer Tsunoda☆Hiro known for “Mary Jane” on the 21st, attracted attention when they appeared on the broadcast.
The day before, on the 22nd, Hideyuki Ohashi, chairman of Ohashi Gym, which includes Naoya Inoue, the unified world super bantamweight champion of all four professional boxing groups, attended the event. Furthermore, entertainer and singer Yusuke Uechi also appeared in the sand-covered seats. Kamiji posted a “preview” on his X (formerly Twitter), saying, “I’ll be appearing on a live broadcast today,” and “NHK…well, it’s not a current taiga drama, it’s an annual event.”
