A foreigner in Japan

Monday, 25 July

You know Sumo? Sumo is a Japanese kind of wrestling and Japan's national sport. It originated in ancient times as religious events to the Shinto gods. (Shinto is the indigeous faith of the Japanese people and as old as Japan herself. It still remains Japan's major religiou besides Buddhism.) But when I think of Sumo, I only come up with those extremely fat guys with a funny hair style. I don't really watch Sumo but every once in a while, I do. I don't find those wrestlers attractive because they are unbelievably fat. But I notice there is one guy who is not in a typical sumo wrestlers body type. His wrestling name is "Kotooshu" meaning European long Japanese zither with thirteen strings. (I translated it directly so it doesn't make much sense but it's just a name) Anyway, he is a Bulgarian. Well built. not too fatty. He is one of the best sumo wrestlers. It's funny that the conservative world like Sumo can welcome foreigners. I think it's a great thing though. He is the first European Sumo wrestler in Japan. He is not fluent in Japanese but is able to carry conversational Japanese. I like his muscles. :-) Which I rarely see in Japanese sumo wrestling. There is another European sumo wrestler from Estonia but he isn't pretty at all. But this guy from Bulgaria is hot. not all the time but some times. He is one of the strongest wrestlers because he has won quick promition and is the most future promising Sumo wrestler. Go Kotooshu! Hooray!

Sumo wrestling is fun to watch but I love Turkish Wrestling better. :-)

Hi Neron, I don't watch it Sumo for my sexual pleasure like you do to Turkish Wrestling. I just watch it because it's sometimes great to watch it. Yes, I get to be a sport fan every once in a while whether belive it or not. But thanks for the link. They are definitely hot. I wish I were able to become one of them. :-)

I used to stay in Ryugasaki near a "Sumo training school"... I was told that they had fat under their muscles. it looks like that but... can you tell me if that is true or false?

Hi AJ,
Where's Ryugasaki? The place doesn't sounds familiar... Anyway, yes, they are supposed to have more muscles under that thick fat. So when these wrestlers retire, many get thinner because they don't have to eat like they used to. :-) Thanks for stopping by. Have a great evening!

Ryugasaki~ edge of chiba/ibaraki if I remember correctly. Small 'city'. I also stayed in Moriya-machi (small town) and used to study in Tsukuba- shi. Anything sound fammiliar?

hi AJ, I have no idea about those cities except for Tsukuba-shi. :-) sorry. I guess I am staying in Tokyo too long.
