Some 7,000 people attended a farewell ceremony on Tuesday for former professional wrestler and politician Antonio Inoki, who died in October last year at 79.
The ceremony was held at Ryogoku Kokugikan arena in Sumida Ward, Tokyo.
Among the mourners were those from the pro-wrestling community as well as fans. They all said their last goodbyes to the man tied to the catchphrase "moeru tokon" (fiery fighting spirit), whose real name was Kanji Inoki.
