Akasaka Drivens Adopt Rhino, Uses It For 4th Place Punishment

On October 15, 2021, the Akasaka Drivens finally had a chance to use their newest punishment for players who get 4th place.

In the first game on October 15, Murakami Jun dealt in 4 times and lost points in 7 of the 10 hands. These deal-ins caused Murakami placed 4th and scored -1,900, the first 4th place for the Akasaka Drivens. During the interview, he seemed quite disappointed and was quite fidgety. When the interview was over, he went the opposite direction that he was supposed to and started to run.

Murakami has been trying to lose weight this year, so we initially thought that he wanted to get some extra exercise in.

However, when we asked the coach of the Akasaka Drivens, Koshiyama Go, he gave us another explanation, “Last season, the EX Furinkazan management put a severe punishment for their team: If the team didn’t make it to at least 3rd, then at least one player will be removed from the team. With that threat, the EX Furinkazan won the championship plate. We decided to try our own penalty in true Akasaka fashion”

He then showed us a picture of a rhino, “This is Cy, a newly adopted rhino by the Akasaka Drivens. Every time a player gets a 4th, they have to face the rhino while doing the interview. Let’s just say that you better hope the rhino is in a good mood that day.”

We could not catch Murakami for comment.
