HKT48�s Sashihara Rino (19) was a special guest at the martial arts press conference for the �GLORY 4 Tokyo GRAND SLAM HEAVYWEIGHT� tournament which will be held at Makuhari Messe on December 2nd.



According to Sashihara, her appearance was decided at the last minute as she commented, �I was nervous if I would be told to try and challenge the martial arts.� She was asked if she liked martial arts and she looked at all the fighters around her shyly and said, �Yes� They�re SO tall, it really surprised me.�



The host then asked Sashihara if she would like a martial artist as a boyfriend, to which she smiled commenting, �I can�t answer those kind of questions right now��



Many photos were taken and one that gained the most attention was of fighter Peter Aerts carrying Sashihara in his arms with a smile.
