Akinomaki 40,622 Posted December 10, 2017 The threads on him are all too old, so I put this in a new one. KONISHIKI met with the governor of Hokkaido on the 20th to exchange ideas. He was special guest at the HOKKAIDO & HAWAII Sister-state Party. http://sapporo.keizai.biz/headline/2694/ age is catching up with him a bit 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamanashi 3,866 Posted December 10, 2017 An unusual sister-state match; Okinawa-Hawaii seems like a better fit. Still, Sapporo-to-Honolulu "fact-finding mission" in January = shrewd Hokkaido politicians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryafuji 815 Posted December 12, 2017 I have to say I never thought Konishiki would live long enough to get grey hair. And yet he will be 54 this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks turquoise to me. Last few times I've seen pics of him he had pink and then orange hair. That said, I've no doubt he's bleaching and colouring his hair because he doesn't like being grey.

Akinomaki 40,622 Posted December 16, 2018 Konishiki on the 8th was at the Heartful Festa in Okayama, part of the human rights week, and talked about his experience as a foreigner: "At first I didn't know how to use a Japanese style toilet. And the restaurants were small and I hit my head at the door." "The arrangement of food and the etiquette - I have the feeling that Japanese culture has profound depth. I want to continue to tell people from abroad about the splendor of Japan." http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20181209-OYT1T50004.html 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seiyashi 4,098 Posted September 28, 2021 Youtube randomly (ok maybe not randomly) recommended this to me, and it appears to not have been posted before: Incidentally, is there a collated thread for Konishiki activities? I searched for it but the results got dated really quickly. I guess he's not really in the limelight much so it sort of makes sense that he doesn't. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
