  • CORRECTION We try our best to do thorough research, but sometimes we fail. After this episode aired, we received this correction from John Traill of the International Sumo Federation. "Ishiura's father is definitely not from Mongolia. You have jumbled him up my good mate Gantugs Rentsendorj. He is the main Mongolian connection as coach at Tottori Johoku. He was incredible on the dohyo and super tough for his size. He won the Sumo World Championships in 2012 against a slap happy Bulgarian despite his neck injury."
    We pledge to continue to try our best GANBATTE and let you know if we make mistakes HUMBLE BOW.
    We'll tell you a little bit about what it's like to go to a powerhouse sumo high school, either Saitama or Tottori High. We'll also tell you a sumo related story based on Sweet Valley High, a YA book series. It includes Onosato, is completely fictional, and oh so reminscent of our youth.

  • Heads up: there's adult humor in this episode!
    There's a lot of news to cover up front - from raffles and retirements to cysts and hilariously terrible translation. But, we evenutally get to recent news about our newest ozeki, Onosato. Then, we take a hard left and solve the mystery of the hairiest yokozuna we've ever seen. Turns out he's Asashio III, and he's done a lot for international sumo.

  • We did ALL the sumo things at the Kokugikan in Tokyo!
    We stood in very neat and orderly lines. We met retired wrestlers and took photos with them. We spoke in Japanese and hilariously bungled our language skills. We took photos of sumo wrestlers entering the arena and cheered them on with gusto! We got a taste of true Japanese hospitality from Konishiki and his friends. We bought sumo merch we didn't know we needed. We sweated in the humidity. We saw Takakeisho's last fight of his career. We saw just how popular Onosato is. We saw just how beautiful Abi's shiko is. We met so many lovely people.
    Hear all about it on this episode. FYI On our YouTube channel, we shared many of these stories after each day at the tournament. If you'd rather watch us than listen to us, check us out there.

  • You've probably seen one of these men ringside during sumo tournaments, or perhaps you've run across his IG account that features his poodles and his wrestlers. That's Kaio, or Asakayama. We didn't know miuch about him, but what a career he had!
    The other is a man of mystery who is dedicated to sumo training and has produced several top level ranked wrestlers. Sakaigawa's stable is where Tom Brady went to train with sumo wrestlers. Right now, this stable has Sadanoumi, Hiradoumi, and Myogiryu. They are very serious about training there. Very.
