When U.S. President Donald Trump arrives with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to take in live sumo wrestling on Sunday at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, security will be beefed up to its highest level — with bodyguards even on alert to protect the president from flying cushions tossed by excited fans, according to reports.

Due to concerns over the tightened security, Kenzo Furushima, an 83-year-old sumo enthusiast, has decided that he will not attend the final day of the tournament Sunday, even though he has a ticket for a front-row seat.

"My cane and wheelchair might be bothersome for security personnel," Furushima said during an interview with The Japan Times at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament on Friday. "Honestly, it doesn't matter to me whether I get to see Trump because I simply want to enjoy sumo."
