It was all Wiki stuff I copied, thank them! lol^_^ Anyway, I response to your question, well what do you know, good 'ol Wiki is here to answer a few questions!!! lol:D


Rikishi (力士) is a term most commonly used to describe a professional sumo wrestler. The Japanese characters making up the name literally mean "strong man", which is highly appropriate given the size and strength required to participate in this sport at the highest level.

During their active careers rikishi live in "stables" run by a trainer, who is always a former sumo wrestler himself. The life can be quite strictly controlled, and for junior wrestlers, would by today's standards in Japan (or in the west) be considered quite harsh

For a bit of laugh see if you can get your hands on a movie called 'sumo do sumo don't'.
I was a big sumo fan when I lived there and went to 2 bashos, one in Nagoya and one in Osaka. The most amazing experience.
Now that I have left i am a little out of touch. Does anyone know who the yokozuna are now? Is it still Ashashoyu? Is Takamisakari still fighting? Anyone???????

annaken 05-21-2007 09:57 AM

who is HAKUHO's wife?

anybody know?

CoolNard 06-04-2007 03:13 AM

P.S. thanks for the movie recommendation glaylover :vsign:
