An interesting question: Ozawa is an excellent example of what many people are saying is wrong with Japanese politics .........nothing changes. The situation with Asashoryu seems to be very similar ......nothing in Sumo really changes. The popularity of Asa surely shows that their is room for Sumo to "modernize" itself slightly. Won't Sumo lose it's appeal to younger Japanese if they don't make changes to make it more attractive for younger people to view, and even participate?
