Genichiro Tenryu (73) has been hospitalized once again.
In February, Tenryu underwent emergency surgery for "septic shock" and "myelopathy and spinal stenosis associated with atlantoaxial subluxation," conditions that carried the potential for sudden death. However, Tenryu was discharged in June.
Today, he was again hospitalized for undisclosed reasons.
Announcement from Tenryu Project representative and daughter Mona Shimada:
>Although it is sudden, Tenryu has symptoms that require treatment and is currently hospitalized. He is conscious and able to talk, and is preparing for examinations and surgeries.
>Tenryu is spending his time in the hospital with a positive feeling, encouraged by the day when he will greet everyone in the ring at [Korakuen Hall on November 11th]. We apologize for any inconvenience and concern caused to everyone involved and fans, and thank you for your understanding. I hope you will watch over him warmly.
