Not only martial arts fans but also Nagatacho watchers must see this man in the ranking!

“If you’re an active politician, Genki Sudo. You’re young and crunchy. That’s why I’m in second place (laughs).”

Isn’t it unwavering that Mr. Sudo, who was still young at 42 years old and was active until 2006, is the strongest? Then, who is the strongest politician quarrel except for these two former fighters? It was that person who spearheaded the measures against the new corona that Mr. Feng ranked third in the ranking.

“Mr. Yasutoshi Nishimura, a martial arts expert from the boxing club at the University of Tokyo. Even now, after the press conferences several times a week, I am enthusiastically doing circuit training at the Diet Health Center. At the age of 58. Moreover, if you are an incumbent minister, it is quite hard.

From my point of view, Mr. Nishimura is pushing hard, and he has both stamina and sharpness. “

There are other martial arts experienced people in politics. Fourth place is Toranosuke Katayama, co-representative of the Nippon Ishin no Kai, who once studied under Mr. Feng.

“Mr. Katayama is a high-ranking judo player. When I was in the House of Councilors, I was trained a lot. He is a well-rounded person. 5th place is Akihiro Ota, the captain of the sumo club at Kyoto University. It should be quite strong. Yo “

How about Sumio Mabuchi, a 60-year-old member of the House of Representatives, who has been called a “terminator” for the first time in macho?

“I’m still training in the gym. Mr. Mabuchi is one of the best in the opposition in terms of health.”

It is said that there are still politicians in the LDP who have the strength to be reckoned with. The minister who unearthed the “Regent Bancho” in the November 26, 2019 issue of this magazine …

“I hear that Koichi Hagiuda also had a quarrel when he was in high school, and he seems to be strong because he sees it. Also, Yoshitaka Sakurada must not forget that he is a karate and judo player. Great”

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga (72) is also a stepped-up person who served as Deputy General of the Hosei Karatedo Club.

“In the office, he sometimes pokes his fist. It’s a stressful position.”

In November 2020, the bipartisan Parliamentary League for the Promotion of Fighting Sports was established with Mr. Feng at the center. He gathered big-name lawmakers such as Mr. Ota mentioned above and former Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, and attracted a lot of attention. During the interview, Mr. Sudo, a member of the Parliamentary League, appeared at the Feng office for a meeting!

“Immediately after I was elected, I went to Mr. Feng, who is a big senior in wrestling, and talked about’I want to do a martial arts promotion council'” (Mr. Sudo).

The activities of the parliamentary group also mean “giving back to the organization from which they came from.”

“In the case of Corona, even if a martial arts organization tried to apply for a subsidy, there was no cohesive organization. There were disparate consultations with me and Mr. Sudo. Therefore, the Japan Sports Agency and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, We decided to create a place where information could be exchanged between the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and martial arts organizations.

In the future, we will promote efforts to encourage each organization to create guidelines for the prevention of voyeurism, sports abuse (shigoki), harassment and fraudulent accounting in the sports world. “(Mr. Feng)

“One day, I want to hold an event at the National Stadium. I wish I could give courage and hope through martial arts in the midst of the Corona sword …” (Mr. Sudo)

“I want to see the cards of Kai Asakura and Genki Sudo (laughs)” (Mr. Feng)
