Koichi Nakano
Koichi Nakano is a political professor at Sophia University in Tokyo, who has commented on the implications of foreign sumo wrestlers like Aonishiki on Japan's cultural openness. He notes that while sumo is becoming more international due to a lack of domestic interest, the broader acceptance of refugees in Japan remains limited, suggesting that Aonishiki's success is more reflective of his Ukrainian background than a general trend towards inclusivity.
