I’ve been a sumo fan for four years now. My brother, who introduced me to the sport, decided to pick a wrestler for me to root for: Takakeisho. I don’t remember how he came to the conclusion that Takakeisho would be my guy, but I ran with it from the beginning and seeing Takakeisho have lots of ups and downs since then has been quite a ride. I’ve enjoyed it and learned to root for a ton of others that I really like.

So, I’m happy to say that Takakeisho winning the January tournament has me super excited. I know there is talk about him possibly getting promoted to the highest rank, Yokozuna, I would love for that to happen, but we shall see. I can’t wait to see what the March tournament will bring.
