Samoan Rugby player Alesana Tuilagi
An article on ESPN says Rugby players might want to hide their tattoos during the World Rugby Cup, which will be held in Japan, simply because the Yakuza mafia are the only ones in Japan who wear Tattoos. World Rugby has been criticized again for over stepping their bounds when it comes to cultural relations giving advice where it's not wanted.
In Samoa, Tonga, and Maori nations, tattoos are very much part of their histories. It is a custom found in many Pacific islander Southeast Asian nations and found in ancient East Asia and Central Asia. Some misinformation on Yakuza Tattoo origins was recently put forth, as well as poor information on Yakuza social standing among the Japanese people. The Yakuza history alone is older than most western nations and far older than World Rugby, and need not be toyed with by click-bait news and article hooks says one writer.
"Samoans and Tongans and Maori have been in Japan for quite some time. This is not the first time the Japanese have met Polynesians. One of the most famous K-1 Fights were 2 Samoan Legends in Japan (Legends Mark Hunt and Ray Sefo), and there are Sumo Wrestlers with Samoan heritage. Japan also plays with Aotearoa New Zealand and Samoa in international Rugby year-round, so what makes this one Rugby World Cup any different than any other Rugby event ever hosted, nothing at all. If you're going to play Rugby, get used to Tattoos because the greatest Rugby teams in the World are in Polynesia and the Asia Pacific regions."
Actor Brad Pitt in Japanese commercial with
Samoan-Tongan Sumo legend
A reporter was reminded of a Japanese commercial in the 1990s with the famous legendary actor Brad Pitt who served the Polynesian Samoan-Tongan Fiamalu Penitani in Japan his meals, and escorted the respected Sumo-wrestler through his daily routines. Fiamalu was born in Eastern Samoa (American Samoa). The Sumo athletes retain their standing in Japan as the epitome of physical greatness and are still cultural icons. The commercial was showing the importance of Sumo, featuring a very Kawaii (cute) Brad Pitt and his Sumo boss. The commercial series was made by Soft Bank and can be seen on Youtube. Musashimaru Kōyō (his Sumo name), achieved the highest rank any foreigner ever attained in Japan, the rank of Yokozuna 1999.
"The Japanese are a mature people and are in no need of being cuddled like children. They have a large Disney World for that, and Tokyo is 10x larger than London, and equals New York City. They are an up-to-date people who lead the way in many fields of study and research"
"So what about the Rugby Fans? They should hide their tattoos too while they sit in the stands? This makes no sense at all. Leave it to World Rugby to react before thinking"
"Every national flag will be represented, should they hide their flags too? An international match is all about seeing another nation play against your nation. The fans will be the ones interacting with one another, not the Rugby players"
"The Rugby players will be busy playing Rugby. How about we let the Rugby players focus on Rugby instead of cosmetics"
A Polynesian community leader says many things from Japan are enjoyed today worldwide and their imagination in anime and movie theatre has been widely admired. As a neighboring Pacific Island nation we hope to have an understanding of them, and them of us, and hiding cultural aspects of ourselves is something we will not do.
