Part 2- the present:

He currently lives alone in a rented apartment in the metropolitan area. "
I no longer have any tsukebitos  Since I don't  have a driver's license, my
associates drive me  to greet my supporters. I basically take care of all
my fundamental needs myself. I live in a 3LDK apartment

However, I still have a lot of luggage. Akeni

keshomawashi.. One room is only full of luggage. Also, the toilet is small
(laughs). But it's fun. I do cleaning and laundry myself but I used to do
it at the heya, so I don't have any problems. When my mood 'turns on', I do
it all at once. It takes a while for it to turn on, though.. I want to get
a driver's license someday.'' Regarding his weight: ``I don't think it has
changed.'' He doesn't have a scale nearby that can measure weights over 200
kg, so he doesn't know exactly. ``I haven't been on a diet at all. My
appetite is the same as when I was active. However, I haven't been
practicing as much as I did when I was active, so my body may have lost its
tension and I may look smaller.'' Before coming to Japan to study  he used
to cook for his younger sister and younger brother. In sumo, he made his
debut  at Makushita 15, and was promoted to Juryo after three bashos. Since
he had no experience making chanko as a junior, he says, ``I told them I
can't make chanko.'' However, he currently prefers to cook ``chanko-style''
hot pot dishes. ``I make a lot of Mongolian dishes, but I put bonito flakes
and various vegetables in a pot and eat the meat like shabu-shabu. I cut
the vegetables myself. There's a supermarket nearby, so I go buy them
myself. I sometimes go out to eat with supporters, but at home I cook my
own food. I like cooking. I eat two meals a day, lunch and dinner, just
like I did during my active days.."  He says that the back pain he cited as
the reason for his retirement is improving,, ``I feel good now. I'm in good
shape.''
