Naomi Osaka
The tennis player watched Japan’s national sport of sumo and liked it. Osaka is in Tokyo to play in the Pan Pacific Open. On Sept. 8, she won the U.S. Open to become the first Japanese woman to win a Grand Slam singles title. Osaka was born in Japan to a Haitian father and Japanese mother. She has spent most of her life in the U.S. and lives in Florida, but is sure to represent Japan at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. “I thought it was really cool because they’re so flexible and they’re also very strong,” Osaka said Monday at the Pan Pacific Open. “During one match, he kept slapping the other guy. So I thought it was really fun to watch.”
