Dialogue "Tarzan Yamamoto ×Toudoukan Director" 18.
Return >17. Inheritance of Fighting Culture
18. Twice Relocation
Director: At first, I thought it was strange that they didn't fix the cooler. The landlord said he couldn't fix the cooler.
No, no, it's not something that can't be fixed.
But they said, "I can't fix it because it's old, and if you don't like it, get out."
I thought it was funny.
I can't get a cooler in the middle of summer, so I buy a fan or a cold air fan, and give Uchiwa (paper fan) to customers who come (wry smile).
However, the customers and staff were drenched in sweat as they got through the summer.
In the meantime, I finally found out that the Tokyo Dental College behind the scenes had acquired this area. That's why I want you to leave as soon as possible. I was supposed to hand over the rent halfway through, but they didn't accept it.
I'm looking for a place to relocate, but I can't find a property that is just right to move the sales floor for 5 or 6 floors so quickly.
I thought I was in trouble, and I persisted for a while as if I was comparing my patience.
Then, right in front of the station at the west exit of Suidobashi, I found a poster looking for vacant tenants.
Ah, I wish I could move here.
Tarzan Yamamoto: That's right. It's the best place to be. It's right next to the station.
Director: So, call the phone number on the poster right away.
When I negotiated, there were 63 tsubo. At that time, our house was 17 tsubo× 34 tsubo on two floors, so it almost doubled, so of course the rent would go up, but after a little simulation, it seemed to be manageable, so I decided that I wanted to move in anyway.

Tarzan Yamamoto: I was lucky.
Director: I was lucky.
Tarzan Yamamoto: The director. I have it.
Director: Hahaha, thank you. I have it (laughs).
Tarzan Yamamoto: If you don't have it, it won't be like that. The director has it all along. I keep holding on. Why do we keep holding on? It's because they're competitive and tenacious.
Director: Well, there are some bad things in the past (wry smile)
The TK Building is right in front of the station, and the 4th floor, which I just entered, is the same height as the tracks of the JR Sobu Line, and it looks like a train. This is good.
And it's on the Korakuen Hall side of the station.
If you can do it in this best location and the largest Pro Wrestling shop ever, start with Pro Wrestling I think it will be possible to have as many back issues and books as possible so that people can use it first when researching something, like a martial arts museum, and although it is a second-hand sale, it will have a museum-like element and a museum-like element where you can learn about history through things.
And I decided to actively hold more events.
While selling second-hand and dealing with things from the past, we will call on current wrestlers and related people to do real things. It would be great if we could do that together.
However, now that I think about the event space...
Tarzan Yamamoto: It was small, though. I'm doing it in a warehouse (laughs).
Director: Only when we were doing events in the backyard in the backyard, we would carry out our luggage and force ourselves to create space (laughs).
Eh, can I say this is an event space? (laughs)
Tarzan Yamamoto: It's like a mat event! It's like an event version of Matt Pro Wrestling.
Director: (laughs) However, after moving to the front of the station, various fighters began to come to us on a daily basis, and we tried distributing videos, and it was an event that left a lot of memories with the teachers. When Mr. Niima and Director Ishii came to tell me the truth about Tokyo Pro Wrestling, I was personally particularly moved by the fact that I could not enter the school when I was in Osaka, and if I had joined, I would have been a student in this way. I was very happy.
But after a while, he said that he wanted me to leave again in about two years.
The building is dilapidated, so they will rebuild it into a hotel by the time of the Tokyo Olympics.
When I signed the contract, I was told that it would be okay for another 10 years or so, so I said that it would not be true.
I said, "That's not true, I'm in trouble."
I thought it was really bad, so I wrote a letter to the owner of the building.
As a Pro Wrestling martial arts specialty store, the meaning of our work being allowed to do it in this location, and the next Olympics will not be a new building, but will cherish the legacy of the old and use the Japan Budokan as it is (laughs). TK Building also took this opportunity. Taking advantage of this location near the Tokyo Dome, we decided to create a specialty store for baseball and live music in addition to our Pro Wrestling martial arts and make it a JAPAN culture building that attracts the attention of tourists from all over the world. There's no point in building a hotel that can be found anywhere.
I don't know if it was a petition or a proposal (laughs), but anyway, I sent a long letter with my feelings.
Tarzan Yamamoto: It seems to be the director of the museum
Director: Then the owner must have thought that it was useless to discuss it with him.
I was easily sued (bitter smile)
I was sued (laughs).
Of course, it was the first time in my life that I had to go to court.
Well, it arrives suddenly.
There is a blunt complaint (wry smile)
Tarzan Yamamoto: yes. It arrives suddenly.
Director: I thought I had received two envelopes, and they were the defendant, Garyu Encyclopedia Co., Ltd., and the defendant, Takashi Izumi. When I opened it, it was written (wry smile)
Oh, I'm finally a defendant! (laughs)
Even though I haven't done anything wrong, I feel like a criminal and it doesn't sound good, but it has some weight and it's cool.
It's like when a teacher refuses to be interviewed (laughs).
Tarzan Yamamoto: Kukuku.
Director: Oh, it's coming. Well, I can't help it. Hungry.
I was interested in the system of trials, so I decided to take this opportunity to study and fight fairly. I have something to say! What.
I've bought a lot of books about evictions, and I'm wondering if the building is really dilapidated enough to need to be evicted.
I had the results of the seismic diagnosis submitted by the building examined by a first-class architect, and I found out that there were a number of aspects that were quite bad.
Submit what you can claim by the deadline every month.
From the middle, I asked Mr. Onishi, a lawyer, who came to the school, to defend me.
I walked into the Tokyo District Court building, which is often mentioned on TV news.
But a trial. I thought that the judge would listen to each other's arguments and make a judgment or a ruling.
When the trial started, we talked to each other, found a compromise, and reconciled before going to sentencing.
Basically, judges don't want to write sentences.
The judge was a woman, but no matter how much I complained about the meaning of doing Toudoukan in that place because the aqueduct is a sacred place in the mat world, there was nothing that resonated and she didn't seem to be interested, and I could tell that she wanted to handle such a case as soon as possible.
At key points, the plaintiff's side leaves the table and discusses with the judge only on this side.
"Even if you say that, you have to evict me. If you don't do that and get a verdict, you won't get much money. Give up as soon as possible."
There was a lot of pressure to reconcile.
I guess they were putting pressure on the plaintiffs in a different way.
After a year of fighting, I was able to get a certain amount of eviction fees, but within a few months I had to evict them.
When the situation becomes clear that we have no choice but to reconcile and leave,
So what do we do?
Will the aqueduct reduce the scale by half?
Do you want to move to another place and start over?
Until now, aqueducts, aqueducts. I also wanted to make Suidobashi a Pro Wrestling town. Conversely, there are aspects that have come to the city.
If you can get away from the aqueduct and still make it, that's proof of the power of Pro Wrestling.
