Kimokekahuna Hawaii
I would invite the best to come to Hawaii.. to perform.. entertain.. for gaming men to place a wager.. bring their girlfriends or wives or both.. and share with the rest of the world.. the dynamic.. the unique dance that is Sumo..

I challenge the assumption given in this article that new high school graduates make double of JPY 150,000 per month.

It's funny to me how in this ancient sport, which places such importance on maintaining it's traditional ways, once a muslim comes in suddenly nobody gets to eat pork anymore.
“We have been using more chicken since Osunaarashi joined,” sounds to me like the trainer is trying to play it down a bit, but unless they are are making the Egyptian guy's nabe seperately nobody gets to eat pork.
What's next, ovo-lactarian wrestlers? Imo, if you can't eat the nabe, get out of the stable.
