17.01.2022 Fun Fact 1: Sumo wrestlers used to be skinny. As with many professional sports, Sumo athletes have become larger with time. In the case of Sumo they have also become fatter.#sumoaction #sumo #birthdays

17.01.2022 Fun Fact 6. There's a tradition of female sumo in Japan The Sumo Association doesn't allow women to enter a sumo ring (it's considered a violation of the purity of the ring). For example, the Governor of Osaka normally enters the ring to award the Governor's Prize at the annual Osaka Sumo Tournament. However, when Osaka elected a female governor (Fusae Ohta) she wasn't allowed to enter. Historically, there was a tradition of female sumo at some Shinto shrines. This is downplayed by professional sumo.

16.01.2022 Fun Fact 5. Yakuza like sumo The Yakuza like to keep a low profile and rarely show up on television. An exception was made in 2010 when the Yamaguchi-gumi (the largest yakuza group) purchased a block of 50 prominent seats at a nationally televised Sumo match. Needless to say, they stuck out in the crowd. Rumor has it they did it to cheer up their incarcerated boss who was watching the match from jail. The Sumo Association has experienced numerous Sumo match fixing and gambling incidents in recent years tied to the Japanese underworld.

15.01.2022 Fun Fact 3. Sumo wrestlers dance The ring entering ritual of sumo often resembles a dance. When entering the ring the wrestler claps his hands and performs a leg-stomping ritual to drive evil spirits from the ring. This is often rhythmic and stylised. #sumoaction #dance #cairns

05.01.2022 Fun Fact 10. Gaijin are obsessed with inflatable sumo costumes For some reason, Gaijin (especially those from America, France, Belgium, Australia and Canada*) are obsessed with inflatable sumo costumes. Nobody knows why (least of all the Japanese). #sumoaction

04.01.2022 11. Kappa can sumo wrestle. Kappa are terrible (mythical) Japanese river monsters. Kappa often challenge humans to sumo wrestle. Since they're small they usually challenge children. #sumoaction

03.01.2022 Fun Fact 4. No one under 50 is interested in sumo. Interest in sumo has been in decline (for a long time). Young generations of Japanese are more interested in soccer and baseball. The average age of spectators at a professional sumo match is well over 50.
