Legendary Wrestler Antonio Inoki Brought Back to Life as an AI Robot

Legendary wrestler Antonio Inoki passed away in 2022, but his legacy will live on in a new human-like AI robot. The ambitious project — which had a launch event in Tokyo on February 19 — will re-animate Inoki three-dimensionally. The idea was first presented two years ago. Inoki Genki Factory, AVITA Inc., and SMBC Value ^[3] are behind the project. The AI robot is designed to resemble Inoki in his prime, with a 3D scan of his face and body. The project aims to preserve Inoki's legacy and provide a unique experience for fans.

The AI robot will be able to interact with fans, answer questions, and even participate in wrestling matches. The project's creators hope to use the AI robot to promote Inoki's legacy and provide a new way for fans to experience his career.

The launch event in Tokyo was attended by Inoki's family and friends, as well as fans and media. The event featured a demonstration of the AI robot's capabilities, including its ability to recognize and respond to commands.

The project has generated significant interest and attention, with many fans and wrestling enthusiasts expressing their excitement and curiosity about the AI robot. The project's creators hope to continue to develop and improve the AI robot, and to provide a unique and engaging experience for fans.
