The BIGGEST Sumo
Another day at the stable, another day of training. Yoshiro wanted to be a sumo wrestler ever since he was a kid. Yoshiro was always a little big. He was big when he was born, 11lbs 6oz. And he loved to eat. Getting heavier as he grew. By the time he saw his first sumo tournament in Tokyo, when he was 9, he knew he wanted to be a sumo wrestler.
After that night, he learned all he could about sumo. The history of the sport. The basic moves. The champions. The diet, chankonabe, which helped the wrestlers gain weight. Yoshiro went to more and more tournaments.
At age 18, 61, 270lbs, Yoshiro finally got his chance to join training stable in Tokyo via an old family friend who knew of Yoshiros desire. Akio, the friend, was at one time a sumo wrestler himself. Massive in size, 500lbs, he quit in his mid thirties but still avidly followed the sport. In fact, it was Akio who took Yoshiro to his first tournament.
