Beetle Fighting -
The collecting and battling of giant stag beetles.
Two insects are pitted against each other and
spectated by a large audience who can choose
to place bets on the winning beetle; this sport
does not hurt either beetle as they only fight for
dominance.
(46 words)Hanako has a fairly unusual hobby, especially for one of his stature. The young prince loves to collect and battle large beetles, especially Goliath beetles. He will invite his friends, family, and citizens over to participate in the spectacle. Hanako is also known to use his status and money to help him get more beloved beetles. On a monthly basis, Hanako and a couple of his close pals will travel away to a distant island, one of which he owns, to both relax and catch beetles. On that island rests many different species of Goliath beetles, all varying in different shades of red, white, and black shell coloring. Every night after dinner, at 8:00 exactly, Hanako and his buddies will exit their vacation home with a sturdy net grasped in their hands. Usually, his friends would easily grow tired of all the running around, swinging, and searching that they all do. Hanako, on the other hand, would never tire easily; he was always driven by utter excitement. The sight of a new Goliath made Hanako happy; the capturing of one made him absolutely ecstatic. By the end of the week long trip, he would easily catch 20 new beetles; he would gift some to the friends who accompanied him on his little trip, as well as to citizens who enjoy watching and hearing the little prince talk about something he was so passionate about. By the end of his gifting, he would be left with three or five beetles. He always made it a plan to give the rest to his family members, especially his mother as she was the one who encouraged him to take up such a hobby in the first place. This was mainly due to his irrational fear of bugs and how lonely he would often feel at times due to not being able to relate to his siblings. If he had one single beetle left, he would keep the creature as a pet. Even though Hanako uses a majority of his beetles in the sport, he still tends to them carefully. If he fears as if one of his beetles would be injured in the match, he will call it off and award his competitor with a fair sum of money to apologize for such a short match. He never pushes his beetles to work harder than they have to, especially since the small prince frets over about them feeling pain. While the beetles never tire out easily like he thinks they will, Hanako never fails to keep a close eye on them to make sure they're in top condition. He's not afraid to splurge a little bit of money to ensure his beetles are comfortable in a large container since he feels that all beings should be treated with absolute respect.
