He hasn’t been in the country in a long time.
The 6’1″ and 326-pound Akira, whose mother is a Filipina named Bebelita Bernadas, will reportedly be flying to Cebu, his mother’s hometown.
The Philstar report quoted Akira as saying, “That’s where I grew up. I started working, delivering drinking water to my neighbors to earn a few centavos to help my mother, who was then separated from my father.”
Akira is a certified sumo star in Japan.
