schema:articleBody	Japan rugby star Ayumu Goromaru, who enjoyed cult status after leading his country to a historic World Cup win over South Africa, will retire at the end of the 2021 domestic season, his club announced Wednesday. The 34-year-old was estimated as the world's richest player following his performances at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, where he scored 24 points in "Miracle of Brighton" 34-32 victory over the Springboks. Goromaru's rugged good looks and distinctive goal-kicking stance earned him a huge following in Japan, with a bronze statue and a "Master of Ninjas" title among the honours bestowed on the fullback, who also had a giraffe named after him at a Japanese zoo. Goromaru-mania even prompted fans to flock to see a Buddha statue said to be in a similar pose to that the pin-up struck in his pre-kick routine. After unsuccessful stints with the Queensland Reds and Toulon, he returned to Japan's Yamaha Jubilo in 2017. Despite winning 57 caps for Japan, he missed out on a place in the national squad when the country hosted the 2019 World Cup -- a tournament that saw the Brave Blossoms reach the last eight for the first time in their history. Former Japan head coach and current England boss Eddie Jones bemoaned Goromaru's on-field fall from grace following the 2015 World Cup, accusing the player of spending more time filming commercials than practising goal-kicking. The Top League, Japan's domestic competition, kicks off its season on January 16, 2021, and runs until May. It will be the final season before the launch of a new competition in 2022. amk/sah/dh
