Hayata returned to Tokyo Haneda Airport on the 13th and told a press conference that he was not satisfied with the results. After four years, I want to challenge myself again to take all of my body ultimately," he said.
Hayata is well known as a player who shed tears after beating Shin Yu-bin to win the bronze medal in the individual bronze medal match. Shin Yu-bin missed the medal unfortunately, but he approached Hayata in person and smiled brightly and gave her a congratulatory hug.
When asked what Hayata wanted to do after returning home, he brought up a controversial answer. He wants to go to the Anpanman Museum. I also want to visit the Special Public Archives in Kagoshima and feel that it is not natural to be alive and to be a table tennis player."
Japanese broadcasters 'NHK' explained that facilities related to special construction in Kagoshima Prefecture include 'Jiran Special Construction Peace Center' in Minami-Kyushu City, 'Manse Special Construction Peace Memorial' in Minami-Satsuma City, and 'Kaya Air Base History Center' in Kagaya City.
Japanese media, including 'NHK', spotlighted Hayata's remarks in unison. After hearing Hayata's remarks, Hiroichiro Kawasaki, director of the Jiran Special Public Peace Center, said "I feel really grateful. I hope this interview will serve as an opportunity for many young people to visit and learn about the history of the special public and to think about respect for life."

Ten years ago, in 2014, Japan's plan to list the will of the Kamikaze Commando here as a World Heritage Site was in vain.
At the time, China criticized it with a strong tone that it intended to glorify the history of Japanese militarist aggression. He also recalled that Japan committed numerous crimes against humanity during World War II. The kamikaze commandos also included young Korean pilots who were mobilized after the Japanese military forcibly conscripted them.
Again, Hayata's remarks immediately faced controversy. According to Japan 'Chunichi Shimbun', does Hayata's personal SNS know that "is a notorious place of militarism?", "Innocent people and soldiers were slaughtered, and you worship the invader", "The Japanese can never be trusted." Comments written in Chinese were lined up.
`Kyodo News Agency' also reported that there are voices on the Chinese Internet that Hayata has crossed a line that cannot be crossed.
On the afternoon of the 15th, the Chinese portal `Sohu Dotcom' said 'Hayata has not yet apologized'
Chinese media reported that two Olympic table tennis medalists (Sun Yingxia and Pan Zhen-dong) were disappointed by Hayata's remarks and unfollowed them. An Olympic star's remarks are likely to turn into an international political issue.
