Sumo Problem [Japanese Topic]
"相撲"("Sumo") is the national sport of Japan.
It dates back to the fifth century , so it has a history of more than 1400 years.
Two very fat wrestlers compete in the small ring and the game time is usually within a minute.
A key factor to win Sumo is a explosive power.
Sumo strongly reflects the Japanese culture and it's very conservative, but it's experiencing globalization. Recently, there are a lot of wrestlers from foreign countries, for example Mongolia, US, Brazil, Russia etc.
FYI: Country Ranking in Sumo history

1.Mongolia, 2.US, 3.Brazil, 4,5:Koria & Taiwan, 6:China, 7:Tonga, 8:Russia, 9,10:The Republic of Georgia & The Philippines
The top rank of Sumo wrestlers is called "Yokozuna".
Do you remember Yokozuna who won the WWF Championship twice? He was not the real "Yokozuna".
Do you remember Akebono of WWE? He was the real "Yokozuna". He was one of the strongest foreign wrestlers.
Both of two present Yokozuna are Mongolians.
However, some foreign wrestlers occasionally causes the problems in Japan.
"朝青龍"("Asa-Shou-Ryu") who is one of present Yokozuna frequently makes troubles and recently he is getting into the news because of a suspected assault to a general person.
The population of Japan is decreasing and Japan needs to accept a lot of foreigners in the future and the Japan society also faces this issues as well as Sumo. I think the Japan society needs to overcome this issues.

After all, on February 4, "朝青龍"("Asa-Shou-Ryu") declared the retirement because of taking the responsibility of the scandal.
