Sakata remained for another few months
A later biography says Sakata was back in Hawaii in January 1952, not still in Japan for 'another few months.'
Full reasoning
This timeline appears to be wrong. A 2021 Iron Game History biography states that "Upon returning to Hawaii in January 1952 Sakata resumed his local wrestling performances", which directly conflicts with the claim that he remained in Japan for another few months after the tour ended in January 1952. Joseph Svinth's earlier biography likewise places Sakata back in North American wrestling by May 1952, when he appeared in a televised match in Seattle. Together, these sources indicate that Sakata had returned from Japan by early 1952 rather than staying there for several more months.
