When I was a teenager, I watched wrestling on TV. The Japanese wrestlers gave me energy and courage. I want to entertain a lot of people like they did for me&#8230; The Great Muta. A Japanese wrestler. He is so good and so cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>You are arguably the most successful Japanese superstar in WWE history. How does it feel to know Asian girls watching WWE can look at you and say, &#8220;I can be like Asuka someday?&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/b><br \/>\nI want to say to Asian girls, don&#8217;t give up on your dreams! When I was 16, I wanted to be a WWE superstar. One day I asked my mom can I be a WWE superstar, and she said, &#8216;No, you have to go college! I also told my high school teacher, &#8216;I want to be a WWE superstar.&#8217; She laughed and said, &#8216;Don&#8217;t be silly.&#8217; I was shocked. I had no choice. I gave up on my dream once. I went to college and after graduating from college, I started training. I couldn&#8217;t give up on my dream. My friends gave me confidence, &#8216;You can do it, you can do it!&#8217; I called a wrestling company in Tokyo. I left my hometown of Osaka, Japan. Now I am a WWE superstar. Don&#8217;t give up on your dream!<\/p>\n<p><b>You actually retired earlier in your career due to health complications. What compelled you to give wrestling another shot?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I had a problem, but I want to entertain people. It&#8217;s my goal. My mother told me I have to fight again.<br \/>\n<b>\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n<b>There has been a visible uptick in violence and hate speech against Asian people. How does it make you feel to see and hear about these terrible acts?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I hate it! I hate it! I don&#8217;t understand. It&#8217;s a waste of time to be hateful. Why people attack other people? We are people, right? I don&#8217;t understand. I hate it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Would you be willing to share any of your own experiences with racism?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I have only one experience with racism. It was around the time when COVID-19 started spreading. In America, I was at the airport. A woman came towards me. When she noticed me, she covered her mouth with her hand and ran away from me. I was shocked. It never happened before COVD-19. Oh my gosh. I didn&#8217;t understand. I was shocked.<\/p><div id=\"prowr-3960600726\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>What advice would you give to non-Asian people who want to support their Asian friends and communities?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s important for non-Asians to understand and share the wonderful culture of Asians.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is something about Japanese culture that you love that people may not know about?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I love Japanese culture such as anime and manga, cards and video games. I also love Japanese food such as sushi, sashimi, sukiyaki, takoyaki. I love beautiful nature.
