About this series
“Sometimes I took a break” When I hated karate
-What kind of sports did you play when you were in elementary school?
Oiwa: I’ve been playing karate since kindergarten, and since I’m in the 4th grade of elementary school, I’ve been in club activities, so I was in the baseball club in the summer and the soccer club in the winter.
-Please tell us how you started karate.
Oiwa: I entered with my brother, but it’s almost compulsory for my parents. My parents ran a restaurant, and I felt restless and difficult, so I sent them to the karate dojo in the neighborhood as if I were leaving them.
-Did your parents do karate?
Oiwa: I didn’t do it. But my dad said he was doing judo when he was in high school.
-It’s a fighting family.
Oiwa: I was just biting.
-Did you enjoy yourself when you started going?
Oiwa: I don’t remember much, but I think it was fun. But as I got older, I didn’t like it.
-When did you start to hate it?
Oiwa: It’s about the 4th and 5th grades of elementary school. Sometimes I had a sly vacation.
-How did you get away from karate?
Oiwa: In the end, I continued karate and took the black belt. However, the karate I was doing had no kumite, and the type was the mainstream. I didn’t like kumite, and when I was little I used to run backwards, but my brother liked it, and he was strong in karate, so he was skipping.
-You didn’t have the talent from the beginning, didn’t you?
Oiwa: I had never skipped a grade, so I went up one by one. Even though I entered with my brother, the difference was widening.
-Did you have an image that you could make more and more?
Oiwa: I didn’t like it.
-Why did you continue?
Oiwa: I thought I would get angry if I didn’t go. I had an older brother, so I couldn’t skip at first.
-Are there any episodes that you remember when you were in elementary school?
Oiwa: I remember running backwards and running away, getting angry with my parents. Also, I didn’t want to go, so I used a false illness because I had a stomachache, but when I got caught, I could unlock the toilet and my parents didn’t get angry, but only then I got angry.
-Did you have a teaching like “Don’t lie”?
Oiwa: I think that includes that, but my father, who is usually kind, was angry only then. I’ve been angry only once, but it’s always in my head.
-Has it changed since then?
Oiwa: After that, I started to go seriously.
-Is it your father’s influence?
Oiwa: Maybe. I didn’t listen to my mother, but I think it was because my father, who usually doesn’t get angry, got angry.
“I was curious” When I was a boy who tried various things
-Do you remember your first match?
Oiwa: You didn’t win the karate match. My brother returns with results such as victory, but I don’t remember winning.
-How big is the tournament?
Oiwa: It’s a city tournament. I don’t remember having a track record in karate.
-It’s surprising.
Oiwa: I was doing it steadily, so I took the black belt and did it well in the performance. But when it came to kumite games, it was weak.
-Did you learn during that period?
Oiwa: While doing karate, I told my parents that I wanted to play baseball and entered a baseball school. However, I didn’t have a good sense of baseball, and I was taking a sloppy vacation. ,I quit. But the soccer club continued to be the deputy captain.
-Did you play soccer well?
Oiwa: Looking back, I think I was weak, but I was a little confident because I was the deputy captain. I was doing a center back. My cousin was a soccer player, and he was good at soccer, and he taught me.
-Isn’t your motor nerves outstandingly good?
Oiwa: I didn’t have much sense. As for baseball, the ball is still not thrown. I couldn’t hit bad, and I couldn’t play baseball at all. Motor nerves aren’t bad either, but they’re not by far the best.
-Did you continue karate until you graduated from elementary school?
Oiwa: Karate continued.
-What kind of boy were you?
Oiwa: Elementary school students were evil. Her hair was also blonde, and I think she was floating. I didn’t like taking classes, so I sometimes got out of class. Sometimes I was angry when I pulled out the crops growing in the next field.
-Did you study?
Oiwa: I didn’t like studying.
-Did you have any dreams for the future at that time?
Oiwa: I started playing baseball because I was longing for Ichiro, and I also started playing soccer when I was watching the World Cup. He was a child who wanted to do various things immediately.
-You’re a curious child.
Oiwa: That’s right.
