Araiguma_Rascal 0 Posted November 30, 2004 OK, thanks for the welcome. :-) I'm 34, US national, former jet mechanic with the Navy, now living in Yokohama with Japanese wife and kids. I work in the translation business. I'm also a big baseball fan, but I've been getting interested in Sumo recently. I have been watching enough to have some basic knowledge, although I have many questions and was looking for a place to discuss it when I found this forum. I was really happy to find it. I'm also a member of various other forums like this, under different handles. Is anyone here actually a rikishi in sumo? I look forward to many discussions in the future. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu.

Kishinoyama 596 Posted November 30, 2004 (Welcome...) I believe their are some members of the forum who do sumo training and also competition but I don't know of any that are actually on the Banzuke... It would sure be nice if I were wrong (Sigh...) :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exil 301 Posted November 30, 2004 Hello and welcome to the forum. (Welcome...) Since you're somewhat new to sumo, perhaps you would like to read the sumo FAQ. Although it's a bit out of date, it's still a good read. Also, when dealing with sumo terminology, our glossary might be of use. Is anyone here actually a rikishi in sumo? A few amateur sumotori frequent the forum, and we've had a few former rikishi, but to our knowledge no active rikishi have joined. It's just a matter of time, of course. :-) Enjoy your stay.
