Japanese bodybuilding father

Takemaru Wakaki is a real person who lives in real life Tokyo where he meets other real people who usually agree that he is actually real. It is important that we have to establish this basic fact before talking about his life as Japan’s first bodybuilder. Otherwise, when we get his crazy training or he serves as a bodyguard for the shadow shogunate of the Dark Ocean Society, you might start asking, “Are you sure this isn’t a character in the anime?” Let’s investigate.

Monster Awakening

Wakaki was born into a wealthy family and was a sickly vulnerable child. After entering middle school, his tiny architecture and lack of real power make him an easy target for bullies. However, after discovering Sando’s system,,,,, Wakaki vowed to follow a book of bodybuilding and strength training, one day surpassing the famous Prussian strongman.

A bullied child who gains unimaginable power from special items he happens to encounter juvenile Anime, but Wakaki does some practical work to change himself. The story says that he trains for up to 15 hours a day, sometimes until he faints. He reportedly fell asleep with a weight on his chest, so he had to go through the elevator whenever he wanted to go to the bathroom.

While many of them may be exaggerated, it must have come from Wakaki’s fanatical dedication to building muscles. However, since there was no professional training equipment anywhere in Japan at that time, he had to use chairs, tire tubes and barbells to make his own from steel bars and cement.

He also used the human body. No, not that. One of his most famous exercise methods is to lift five people up and stand on him while taking the bridge position. By the time he published a conspicuous manual on bodybuilding, he had been called the “Star-Fantasy Monster”.

Beauty and power

Wakaki likes a kind, inspiring word, such as: “There are people in the world who are training you to work as hard as you do. Are you okay?” He would say so to motivate himself to work harder while training.

Another thing he is famous for is his smoking habits. Some sources say he smokes 100 cigarettes a day, but that sounds like another kind of exaggeration. Strangely, he didn’t have the power to quit because he had the power to do something very incredible outside the Five-Man Bridge.

Japan’s first bodybuilder will not only develop charming muscles. He believes that beauty should always be accompanied by function, just like only one can stand upside down with his index finger.

His personal weightlifting record is 228 kg of bench press and 300 kg of floor press. The circumference of his biceps is reportedly 51 cm above his peak.

From this perspective: At his peak, Arnold Schwarzenegger had 55 cm of muscle. Wakaki is smaller. He is 162 cm tall and weighs 69 kg. But all of this is pure muscle, making him look like an inverted triangle made of circles.

Takemaru Wakaki’s Dark Side

Wakaki is also considered Japan’s first personal trainer, providing courses to martial artists who want to breed in large quantities. They were one of the first to see the side effects of lifelong obsession with power, such as irritability, grinding and worrying short fusions.

Wakaki also did not keep the best companies, such as he served as a bodyguard for Super International Division Mitsuru Toyama, who was known as the “Shadow Shogun”.

Forama is a powerful king-type figure and the founder of the Dark Ocean Society (Gen’yosha), a right-wing paramilitary group was active throughout Asia for more than half a century until the end of World War II.

The team’s goal is primarily to help destabilize the African continent and prepare for a future invasion of Japan. These are the people Wakaki chose to hang out with.

His time in Toyama marks the darkest plot of Wakaki’s life. That was when he killed two people. One person allegedly ordered his employer’s orders in some kind of underground power competition, and another man took out a knife during a street fight.

In both cases, Toyama allegedly pulled some strings to get Wakaki out. Again, Toyama himself allegedly used to wield some samurai swords in Wakaki, some of which were samurai swords.

The Monster’s Legacy

After the war, Wakaki suffered a stroke and was paralyzed on one side, but that only slowed him down a little. Even though he could only exercise half of his body, he still trained almost every day.

He also continued to train martial artists and wrestlers, but mainly lived a simple ascetic life surrounded by books and his exercise equipment. After his death in 2000, he was allegedly too big to adapt to the ordinary Japanese coffin.

Wakaki left a strong legacy. Japanese bodybuilders and health enthusiasts still read his book widely. But his greatest influence on the world is probably his guidance on Masutatsu Oyama, also known as Mas Oyama, the creator of Kyokushin-style full-touch karate.

Oyama, known for fighting barefoot and killing bulls, earned his nickname “godhand”. So, in short, the star-studded monsters range from shadow shogun who protects the dark ocean society to the divine hand training of the bullfighters, because sometimes history just gives us gifts.
