Antonio Inoki died on October 1, 2022. I never thought I would become this way, but since then, I, PK Sangjun, “Inoki Ross” falling in I was never one of Inoki’s followers, and there were times when I didn’t like him, but what is this sense of loss?

Day after day, I read online articles related to Inoki, and among them, I found an article titled “Pig’s feet that Mr. Inoki ordered even when he was sick.” Inoki feet and pork ──. Before I knew it, I was at Azabujuban’s”Yakiniku Ichibankanwas going to

Inoki was sitting on the wall side of the table seat at the back of the shop.about 25 years agoAbout 3 times every 2 weeksSo, he used to go to this shop. At that time, the owner was not interested in professional wrestling and Mr. Inoki, but she clearly remembers her first visit. Inoki is said to have said this as soon as he entered the shop.
