Today, is the start of the Nagoya basho and with it comes high hopes for my favorite Ozeki, and perhaps, after this tournament, the first European yokozuna, Kotoōshū.

I went to the Nagoya basho in the days of Musashimaru and Akebono. Watching sumo should be on every foreigner's things-to-do-in-Japan list.
Indeed, it is a hell of a good time! Thanks for the soc!
Yes - sumo is a must-do. And now would be perfect! But I already went to a tourney in Osaka this year. Can't really manage another getaway just yet. Sigh. In any event, I hope Kotooshu clobbers everybody and does become the first European Yokozuna. Ganbare!
I remember this guy. The Japanese sometimes make a big deal about him.
The Japanese make a big deal out of anyone who's not Japanese but takes top spot at a Japanese sport. I'd love to see some sumo, but I just can't escape to watch it quite yet.
Perhaps next year I'll find out about it sooner and go with my mother-in-law. She loves sumo, and anything to stay in her good books is fine by me
