New era for sumo
Telegraph: Survival of the fattest
I wonder whatever happened to Shohei Kitade? When we met in Tokyo a decade and more ago, he was still a growing boy of 19...fretting over what adopted name he might be given by his stable-master...Little brother Miko, your typical 11-year-old smart Alec, chirruped: "How about Chichigahari [Big Tits]." That, to foreign eyes at least, is the farcical thing about sumo wrestling. How can you describe the sight of two human five-tiered blancmanges engaged in a survival of the fattest as 'sport?'
