History

As a restaurant proprietor, Hiroshi presumably knows his way around a kitchen. For many years he and Wakasa ran their establishment and kept the tanuki Saikoro. One day Urashima was dining there and knocked his meal to the floor; when the two owners hurried over to check on him, the wrestler ordered them to cook Saikoro and bring it to his table, to their horror.
