Hardback Bungeishunju / A painful life full of human power!
After retiring after climbing to the rank of yokozuna, he achieved the feat of raising two yokozuna, Chiyonofuji and Hokutoumi , as a master, and after leaving the sumo association and becoming a commentator for NHK, With his free-spirited, affectionate, and dry commentary, Kitanofuji continues to reign in the midst of popularity even now in his mid-70s. This unparalleled way of life is approached by the writer Tomomi Muramatsu.
Actress Ruriko Asaoka also praised the film, saying, "It's chic, gorgeous, and sexy, and I'm on the side of Kitanofuji ."
"Kitanofuji was a beautiful yokozuna, and now he enjoys talking without wearing his teeth in commentary. The beauty of a person may come from the way they live, but after reading Mr. Muramatsu's work, I understood the secret of Mr. Kitanofuji 's chic, flower, spirit, and sex appeal."
Mr. Muramatsu himself had a strange relationship with Mr. Kitanofuji , whom he met by chance at a bar, like a pen pal, in which he wrote messages for each other on the coasters of the bar and had them pass them on to the employees. It is a masterpiece that gives not only sumo wrestling fans, but also hints about what it means for people to live vividly.
