Japanese Olympian Keisuke Otoguro is training in Iowa City through a Japanese Olympic Committee scholarship to prepare for a national team coaching role. Supported by Iowa alumnus John Lemkuil and the University of Iowa wrestling teams, Otoguro is immersing himself in U.S. wrestling culture and strengthening the Iowa-Yamanashi sister-state relationship.
