Ex-Wrestler, General And Diet Member To Open Stores In Shibuya Shopping 
Center

Takashi Tokoyama, managing director of the Shinwa-gumi Company, known as 
Musashiyama when he was one of the most popular champion wrestlers of the 
country, will soon open a little shop dealing in hardware along Dogenzaka 
Street, shopping center of Shibuya Ward, Jiji Press reported.
Side by side with Musashigawa's hardware store will be another shop selling 
toilet goods to be managed by a daughter of former Lieutenant General 
Ritsuhei Ogisu, who commanded an army which stormed into Nanking in December 
1937.
Next to Ogisu's will be a delicatessen to be kept by former Major General 
Tokutomi Tada, who was with the army at Palau Island throughout the Pacific 
war.
Adjoining the retired general's shop will be a grocery to be opened by 
Shichiroku Tanabe, former member of the Diet from Yamanashi Prefecture.
A new row of some 50 shops is being built along Dogenzaka to be opened early 
this month and those mentioned above are among them. Included in the same 
row are three grocery stores to be run by workers' unions of the Shibuya 
Government Railroad Station, Shibuya Ward Office and Shibuya Government 
Revenue Office.
