Surely I won’t do that

[@akeematojoko6651]

All was to build her strength.

[@fadhlioly]

People acting like a judge after watching him screaming like this to a kid. Go watch other Japanese shows which is even worst than this one.

[@plusmanikantanr]

Man. If anyone saw Ai Fukuhara's time with these clowns..... THE BEST ones are with Miu Hirano and Mima Ito DOUBLES against the TV personalities ! :'D Mima crying and Miu giggling and laughing :'D Miu comforts Mima and they have a small discussion on each point :'D very very cute and very very serious! :'D

Then Miu Hirano becomes the first to beat the Chinese before Ito did

[@muhammadessa2501]

Cute and brave Mima

[@Feanordark]

To be fair, without the screaming and itimidating I think she would have win 11-4

[@lucielaurent960]

It drives me mad to see a supposedly adult behaving like this in front of a 5 years old girl. He noticed she was scared by his screams, and continued to act like an idiot clown incapable of compassion. This was irresponsible, and i am even more impressed by her reaction - kicking his ass - while crying. What an inspiration !

[@febridonald4606]

Yes..poor her..

[@MrDancingNemo]

I think he is just acting, just to show to Mima that he is not pulling his punches. He is a comedian, and if it's apparent to everyone that he's letting her win from compassion, he is not a comedian.

[@lucielaurent960]

Oh if he just acting then... It is not about whether he is acting or not, it is about the consequences on a 5 years old little girl. Then both the actor and the prod are responsible for insane management.

[@lucielaurent960]

Indeed, but that’s not the point. The point is the behavior of this man in front of a child, just for tv purpose. At this age, trying to humiliate a kid in front of everyone can live big scars, even if she wins big medals afterward

[@bryngilwern5766]

@@tawanook8087 The 5-year-old Mima Ito doesn't understand that he is an actor playing around. She is confused and clearly scared by his behaviour. This is no way to treat a child. It's negligent if not outright abusive.

[@lanbroghini]

This guy needs to grow up

？this is Japanese style . Fukuhara Ai is also cried by Japanese TV.don’t worry

[@橋本帆乃香-y6n]

she is the only winning 11-0 becauise you normally give a point, so the oppenent does not loose to Zero.

[@Dubfansince]

Giving away a point is not a good idea. If it were still a game to 21 that might be OK, but winning 11 points in a row is possible even between professional players. Kim Taek-soo did it against Jorgen Persson while trying to make a comeback at the world championships.

I don't about anyone else, but I felt it was cruel to make her continue to play with that buffoon after they all saw her distress. They didn't even try to comfort her. Mima was the only mature person there.

[@pingsunday]

Yeah. I feel the same.

[@AjayKumar-hm8hd]

Ya

[@qomarqomarudin7307]

[@rmdec]

Ehh, don't agree with these comments. This is fairly low on the list of cruel things doable to kids, imo. Coddling children is worse and harder for adults to realize until too late.

[@peryphiachovet2180]

Nah it's not. Asian culture is different, notice how Japanese kids are a lot more respectful than these western kids? This isn't cruel at all from our perspective, it's basically just them having fun. At the end of the day, there's certainly no "trauma" that Ito has gained from that.

[@iangooding2859]

Hopefully attitudes in Japan have changed since this event occurred, the ego of a young child is easily scarred, luckily she used this and other humiliations to fuel her become one of to the top players in the world. Our beloved 'Pocket Rocket'.

[@MrAlexBash]

i don't know about 'nice souvenir', must have been horrible for mima ito playing that match

[@pingsunday]

You know that's the Japanese culture, I think. In Asia, it's not too serious

[@MrAlexBash]

@@pingsunday it's Japanese culture to bully children? I'm not sure i understand

[@thomasleifseth5201]

@@pingsunday I was thinking the same, is differente in japan. I think the tv show is like this so she was scared but she DID not want to loose the match aswell. We se 5 year old cry it goes straigt to the heart, but is not too serious realy :-) love all your videos Coach

[@rmdec]

I would love to have this as a souvenir :P

[@david0ade]

I agree, this is mainly East Asian culture where they believe the harsher experience kids endure, the stronger they will become even at a young age although I don't agree to this method because it's cruel.

[@kobandahachannel6631]

Hahahah...she cute

[@osg1017]

on a side note: This clown acting like a complete jerk was used to be known to go way overboard even by the notorious Japanese standards. He was arrested for an alleged sexual assault on underage girl later on. Such a shame.

if you are long enough in the world of sports.. a crying losing child is not a cruel sight at all.. it's what pro coaches look for. a champion at heart always cry on a loss. if you dont cry, you don't want it bad enough

[@bryngilwern5766]

She's not 'crying at a loss'. Her crying isn't related to the sport either. She's crying because a frightening-looking man is behaving in a strange, scary way.

She was not crying when 0-2 down or losing points middle of game. Only started crying when that freak of a man started taunting her. Taunting a 5 yr old? Give me a break!!

[@bryngilwern5766]

This video is really disturbing and sad. Why is no one comforting her? It's obviously an extremely disorientating and scary environment, yet the adults continue as if she isn't upset by it. Totally bizarre.

[@edywidjaya301]

The guy thinks his voice and acting is to entertain the audience. It is not funny. That’s why 5 years old child is scary and being push mentality. They have to choose better host who knows how to entertain in better way.

[@cagataymedia]

They are animal

[@syzygy6769]

She was not a 5 year old champion but a 5 year old girl who was a future champion. It is cruel to traumatize children in the name of entertainment. Some may be harmed for a long time. In Ito's case, maybe the experience of being bullied by a big bozo helped compel her to excel to dominance.

[@david0ade]

this is mainly East Asian culture where they believe the harsher experience kids endure, the stronger they will become even at a young age and yes I don't agree to this method too because it's cruel

[@syzygy6769]

@@david0ade This is not about character training par cultural norms but commercial interest over psychological welfare of children. Unfortunately many people think a traumatized child is cute and entertaining.

[@david0ade]

@@syzygy6769 Yes I agree to that too about commercial interest but I mentioned about character training is still true to some extent perhaps not that much in this TV show but there is still that belief in their culture whether it be on TV show or at home or at school or at work, they even humiliate someone at work just so they think they will improve or become tougher
