Unfortunately, Naomi Osaka, who had high hopes, did not perform well in the Tokyo Olympics and was out of the cold in the third round. At first, it was called Little Sweet, and now it is called Lady Cow. After Osaka Naomi's upset loss, many Japanese netizens talked about her pedigree, and online bao her, so that she gun back to the United States and did not come to Japan to make money, which is really ironic.

Looking back on Momota Kendo's career, after experiencing a gambling ban with his brother and friend Kenichi Tian, Momota Kendou lay dormant for several years before finally starting to reach the peak from 2018 to 2019.
