Ah, I remember him from the glory day(s) of Channel 4 sports, when sumo was easily equal in popularity to, um, kabbadi and that. My favourite was Matoizumi aka The Salt Shaker. He wasn’t fat enough to be a great like Akebono, but no one threw half as much salt as him, or with such panache. I see he’s still alive, yay Salty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
