Estranged Sweetheart Fights Sumo Champion
TSURUOKA, Oct. 11 - An ex-school teacher Miss Fumiko
Sato, 32, filed an arbitration suit against "Sumo" champion wrestler Haguroyama
at the Tsuruoka, Domestic Court on September 21, claiming a solatium of
¥1 million.
The story dates back to the time when Haguroyama,
alias Masashi Kobayashi, 37, evacuated to Tamuke-mura, Higashi Tagawa-gun,
Yamagata Prefecture, in 1945.
During his brief stay in Tamuke-mura, Haguroyama
fell in love with Miss Sato who was then a primary school teacher.
Following the war's end a baby was born to Miss
Sato in June, 1946, and the love-child was recognised formally as his own
son by Haguroyama in November last year.
However, to her great disappointment, she has heard
not a single word nor received a red cent from him since then.
The lovelorn ex-school ma'am has finally come against
a financial wall with a four year child to feed.
Miss Sato then sued her erstwhile, wrestler-sweetheart,
for a solatium of ¥1 million this September.
Champion wrestler Haguroyama, however, failed to
show up at the first hearing scheduled on October 5. The next hearing is
expected to be held on October 27.
