Mr. Antonio Inoki passed away today and he was 79 years old. He used to be a very famous professional wrestler in Japan. When I was a little kid, I often watched him on TV and he was my dream wrestler. One of his attractive parts was "his mental strength". He never gave up and performed to the best of his ability all the time no matter how big and strong his opponent was in a match. However, he was a little strange and I knew that he was not for everyone. Those days, there were two kinds of professional wrestling organizations in Japan, but I preferred his to another one. I was looking forward to seeing his match every weekend. I haven't seen him on TV lately and I didn't know that he has been sick for long time. According to the news today, he has been suffering from his heart disease. It looks like he turned the corner but he has been acting up for the past few months. I think he deserves a hero. May his rest in peace.
