Japan vs Iraq Clash Football Match Asian Cup 2024

⚽️🏆 Japan is set to face Iraq in an eagerly anticipated Asian Cup match. The outcome is expected to be a key determinant for both teams. As Japan recently had a close call in a six-goal match against Vietnam, the team intends to gain a favorable outcome against Iraq to advance in the Asian Cup.

Hajime Moriyasu, Japan's head coach, is bracing his team for a tough match against a formidable opponent. Up-and-coming player Kou Itakura, who is generating buzz in Japan's camp, is confident about his team's ability to deliver a standout performance and secure a win against Iraq. Japan currently holds an unbeaten record against Iraq which might impact the mental game in this match.

On the other side, Iraq's head coach, Jesus Casas, recognizes the importance of this match. Winning against Japan could not only solidify their position in Group D but could also likely assure their place in the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023™ knockout stage.

Casas' confidence in his team's ability to face the impending challenge underscores Iraq's readiness for the match. Iraq is leaning on their strong performance in previous AFC Asian Cup matches to provide them an advantage in this pivotal face-off.

Was Iwata Kou the girl who got rejected by Okita?

The story about the girl who got rejected by Okita cames from “新選組余話” written by Kojima Masataka, a descendent of Kojima Shikanosuke. It says:

There was an adopted daughter of Kondo. I don’t know her name and age, but she was taking care of cleaning and washing at the Shieikan dojo. At one point, this girl confessed to Okita that she was in love with him and wanted to become his wife, but he told her, “I’m still in training…” Hearing this, she tried to commit suicide by stabbing her own throat with a kaiken dagger, but it did not cause fatal injury. Later, it was said that she married into another family arranged by Kondo Isami.

According to the blog 新選組事典:

Although the name of the woman is not revealed here, it’s clearly stated that she was the adopted daughter of Kondo Isami, but was it true that Kondo Isami had an adopted daughter?

Kojima Shikanosuke's father, Kojima Kakuzaemon's book "聴書", has an anecdote from the 3rd day of the 7th month, Genji 1:

"Kondo has a thirteen-year-old (?) adopted daughter.” (”近藤は養女まで致し候由。十三歳位の趣也”)

It is confirmed that there was an adopted daughter during the Shinsengumi era. And there are other statements that support this. Hatsuko, the granddaughter of Sue, the wife of Shinsengumi spear master Tani Mantaro, talks about her grandmother Sue’s younger sister, Kou.

Iwata Hatsuko stated: "It was decided that she would be adopted by Kondo Isami with along with Shuhei."

Tani Masatake, also known as "Kondo Shuhei", was adopted by Kondo Isami at one point. Since Kondo adopted Shuhei before Ikedaya, it is probable that Iwata Kou, the younger sister of Tani Mantaro’s wife Sue, was adopted by Kondo around this time. Even more surprisingly, Kou's father, Iwata Fumio, is a doctor. Due to this fact, the existence of Iwata Kou suddenly becomes more plausible...

However, Iwata Hatsuko continued: "Kou was Shuhei's fiancee."

When?!

At that time, it was very unlikely that adopted children could get married. If this statement by Iwata Hatsuko is correct, it means that there was a complicated love triangle between Okita Souji, Tani Shuhei, and Iwata Kou.

In Kondo Yugoro's interview: "Kondo once admonished Okita and told him to break up with his daughter." However, for Kondo who wanted to solidify the political foundation of Tani from the prestigious Itakura clan and Higo-no-kami (Matsudaira Katamori), bringing them together with Kou, the daughter of Iwata Fumio, a samurai doctor of Nakayama Dainagon, may be able to fulfill his wish. It could be that Kondo's circumstances led to Okita's rejection of Kou's feelings.

When Shuhei's older brother Sanjuro Tani was killed by someone on April 1, 2nd year of Keio, Shinohara Tainoshin attributed his death to be from a "left thrust". From this testimony, it is speculated that the killer is Saito Hajime, but there’s a theory that Okita was also left-handed, and it can be thought that it’s related to this love triangle, but this is a big leap, so I'll stop here. 　

Shuhei has been in and out of the Iwata family since the Meiji era, but there is no indication that he married Kou. And it is a famous story that Shuhei adoption was later canceled, but I wonder if there was any relationship between this and Kou...

The blog 日本の女性史 says:

Okita doesn't talk about very close female relationships, but there is an anecdote that he fell in love with a doctor's daughter.

She would be the daughter of a doctor in Osaka and her name was Iwata Kou. Kou also became Kondo's adopted daughter in order to marry Tani Shuhei, who was adopted by Kondo Isami. She met Okita there and fell in love, but Okita couldn't respond to Kou's courtship because he respected Kondo’s wishes, so Kou tried to kill herself by piercing her throat with a sword, but managed to stay alive.

She couldn't marry Tani Shuhei because ​​it was such a big incident, so she got married to a merchant by Kondo's arrangement.

One thing I’m confused about is that the story about Okita’s rejection took place at the Shieikan, but the events related to Iwata Kou, who’s commonly believed to be that girl, took place after the Shinsengumi’s formation, so I’m not sure how they fit together. Maybe I misunderstood something.

According to the blog ケペル先生のブログ:

Another lover of Okita was from the Edo Shieikan days. She is Kou, the daughter of Iwata Fumio, who did cleaning and washing for the dojo. She once confessed her feelings to Okita that she wanted to become his wife, but she was rejected with the reason, "I'm still in training." Out of shame, Kou tried to commit suicide by stabbing her throat with her sword, but she was not fatally injured and she survived.

It’s said she was later adopted by Kondo and she married another family. However, Iwata Fumio lived in Minamihorie, Osaka, and Tani Mantaro is married to Sue, the second daughter of Fumio. Kou is the third daughter and it may be in Kyoto that she met Okita.

If everything was true, it would only make sense to me if the girl who was rejected during the Shieikan days and Tani Shuhei’s fiancee Iwata Kou were two different people. Maybe Kondo had two adopted daughters, but the first one didn’t go down on historical records?

Along with doctor’s daughter Iwata Kou, Okita also had a relationship and broke up with another doctor’s daughter who may or may not be the same person, and another one whose name was possibly Ishii Tsune who might have had a child with him.

Did Okita have a thing for doctor’s daughters? 😂

Japan names squad for World Cup qualifiers

TOKYO

Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu warned his players to get on the same page straight away after naming his squad for World Cup qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Australia on Tuesday.

Japan travel to Jeddah to face the Saudis on October 8 before taking on Australia in Saitama four days later, having made a mixed start to their Group B campaign.

Moriyasu's side slumped to a shock 1-0 opening home defeat to Oman earlier this month, before beating China 1-0 in an away match played in Doha because of the pandemic.

Moriyasu blamed the Oman loss on his players' inability to adapt quickly to his team after spending time with their club sides.

"We don't have much time, but the players need to switch from what they do with their clubs and get their heads around our team concept," the manager said. "We didn't do that last time and we have to make sure we sort that out."

Moriyasu named a 25-man squad featuring only five home-based players, with star midfielder Takefusa Kubo of Spanish side Real Mallorca missing through injury.

New Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has impressed since joining the Gunners from Bologna in the summer, was included alongside Liverpool attacker Takumi Minamino.

Both Saudi Arabia and Australia have taken maximum points from their opening two games in Group B, and Moriyasu is wary of facing the Saudis in the heat of Jeddah.

"Europe and Japan are quite cool at the moment, so it will be difficult playing in hot conditions in Saudi Arabia," he said.

"We have to think about how to play in that heat."

Japan squad to play Saudi Arabia in Jeddah on October 8 and Australia in Saitama on October 12:

Goalkeepers: Eiji Kawashima (Strasbourg/FRA), Shuichi Gonda (Shimizu S-Pulse), Kosei Tani (Shonan Bellmare)

Defenders: Yuto Nagatomo (FC Tokyo), Maya Yoshida (Sampdoria/ITA), Hiroki Sakai (Urawa Reds), Sei Muroya (Hannover/GER), Naomichi Ueda (Nimes/FRA), Kou Itakura (Schalke/GER), Yuta Nakayama (PEC Zwolle/NED), Takehiro Tomiyasu (Arsenal/ENG), Daiki Hashioka (Sint-Truiden/BEL)

Midfielders: Genki Haraguchi (Union Berlin/GER), Gaku Shibasaki (Leganes/ESP), Wataru Endo (Stuttgart/GER), Junya Ito (Genk/BEL), Takuma Asano (Bochum/GER), Takumi Minamino (Liverpool/ENG), Hidemasa Morita (Santa Clara/POR), Daichi Kamada (Eintracht Frankfurt/GER), Koji Miyoshi (Antwerp/BEL), Ritsu Doan (PSV Eindhoven/NED), Ao Tanaka (Fortuna Dusseldorf/GER)

Forwards: Yuya Osako (Vissel Kobe), Ado Onaiwu (Toulouse/FRA)
