Japan born sumo wrestler became a champion!

 Have you ever seen sumo or sumo wrestlers?

 

Ozeki kotoshogiku became a champion of the new year grand sumo tournament.

 

He was born in japan. 

Maybe you are not surprised since Sumo is a Japanese national sport.

 

Lately, for a decade, we have never seen a Japan born sumo wrestlers as champions.

Most champions are sumo wrestlers from Mongol.

 

That's why I wrote kotoshogiku was born in Japan.

It's a big news for us.

 

You can see sumo wrestlers around ryogoku.

They wear yukata, kind of kimono.

 

You can try chankonabe, sumo wrestlers dish around ryogoku.
