Apparently there was a difference of understanding
with Dr. Imasaka, the previous doctor who examined
Asashoryu for the Kyokai. He thought he was asked only
for a second opinion and he has not accepted Asashoryu
as his patient on behalf of the Kyokai.

The new doctor Shuichiro Takagi, medical director of
his own clinic located in a fashionable Jiyugaoka
district in Tokyo, is a specialist in treating
anorexia patients. He was asked by the Kyokai to
examine Asashoryu and he came to the same conclusion
as Dr. Imasaka.

Dr. Takagi has not accepted yet to treat Asashoryu
formally so we still don't know what the Kyokai's next
step would be but they appear to be reluctant have him
treated by Asashoryu's personal physician and a doctor
he has referred, Dr. Honda whose main speciality is
foreskin surgery.

The chief director of clinic where Dr. Imasaka works,
Dr. Koichi Ishii, believes Asashoryu should be
hospitalized and treated by a team of specialists but
Asashoryu has been steadfastly refusing to go to a
hospital.

The common thread running between all three Kyokai
doctors are they are all graduates of Keio University
Department of Psychiatry.
