Misawa/nerd

There's footage from a Japanese TV show where the host is going through what appears to be Misawa's room or office and pointing out a bunch of trinkets and, like Kamen rider figures. Was Misawa into certain shows like this, or collecting toys? Did he have typically "nerdy" hobbies other than video games?

In "Donmai Donmai" (which is your best reference) he mentions not ever going to Akihabara with Go Shiozaki and Kotaro Suzuki. 

"But, I'm not a nerd like Kotaro and Shiozaki! And no matter how much I am invited, I am not going on a tour of Akihabara. [A MENS]* is a nope!"

([A MENS]: Misawa referred to himself as this, while Kotaro was [A BOY])

"Unlike you guys, I'm not an otaku, Kotaro-kun. Also, I won't go to Akihabara with you. It wouldn't be fun to do group activities where everyone has different hobbies."

"Misawa bought a 1/350 Space Battleship Yamato Plastic Model during these off days. The plastic model is a faithful reproduction of the wave motion gun and barrel laser, and its size is 766mm. I don't have time to make it, and I don't have any more space to display it"

Donmai-Donmai is full of references to figure collecting, SFX shows, his Ultraman alarm clock (which he had because he didn't know how to work the alarm on his phone). And films such as "basically, my favorite genre is SFX, which looks far from reality. I am looking forward to the release of many interesting sequels this year, such as "Spiderman 3", "Harry Potter" and "Die Hard". I bought "Hong Kong Police Force", "Oceans 12", "Star Wars" boxsets at the end of the year"

 

Although it wasn't/hasn't been mentioned in "Donmai Donmai", Misawa also collected gacha, and even saved all the ones that his junior roster had bought back from him from overseas, all over Japan etc. His favorite TV show was about a lawyer (which he appeared on once and the theme was played at his funeral), and Final Fantasy VII memorabilia.

Kotaro Suzuki made a courtesy call to Misawa's home after Misawa's death, and Mayumi showed him Misawa's room. This indicates that Misawa and his wife no longer shared the same bed, but I don't think this was due to any kind of marital strife, it was probably more to do with Misawa's worsening physical condition and the fact that he needed a mountain of pillows to even sleep due to the state of his neck, massive weight gain etc. Misawa makes reference to his having a separate room in 2007, so this was probably something that had been going on for a while. Whatever the reason, Kotaro recalled to "Weekly Pro", that there were so many figures in the room of various things, they were even clustered around the bed.
