Stepping on stage in style,” sporting a white puma headband like a character from Naruto ( the Japanese anime), the crowds holler his name – or should I say – moniker “The last style bender.” Israel Adesanya has made a name for himself in the world of kickboxing and martial arts, retaining the title of the UFC middleweight champion for four years before losing it to his nemesis, Alex Pereira.
Adesanya was born in Lagos, Nigeria, to his father, Oluwafemi, and his mother, Taiwo. He is the eldest of 5 children. Israel attended Chrisland School in Opebi, Lagos, and participated in their Taekwondo after-school club until his mother took him away with an injury. In 1999, His family moved to Ghana, where they stayed for only ten months before relocating outside Africa.
His parents wanted their children to pursue recognized higher education, So they decided to move and settle in Rotorua, New Zealand. At that time, Israel was already ten years of age and studied at Rotorua Boys’ High School. Adesanya wasn’t interested in sports in high school; instead, he was interested in Japanese anime.
Adesanya’s charisma outside the ring complemented his exploits in the octagon. These ‘theatrics’ of his hastened his stardom. Adesanya’s nickname “The Last Airbender” is a coinage from the mid-2000s Nickelodeon cartoon “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” He incorporates plenty of anime references into his personality and infuses them into his fight in the octagon.
Adesanya is an Anime-head, as some people will call it, and we want to know his top five anime of all time.
Spriggan is a sci-fi anime series that revolves around Agent Yu Ominae, who works for an organization that claims to protect the world from the dangers of scientific relics left by ancient civilizations.
Yu is a young man with a past he longs to forget. He exists because he is the top Superman agent of ARCAM. This organization is dedicated to protecting ancient artifacts called OOPArts( or Out-of-Place Arts) from falling into the wrong hands.
Israel loves Spriggan because of the excellent storyline, the leading actor’s dress sense, and the incredible fight scenes.
