Sumo LEGEND KONISHIKI began his life's work last year by combining "sumo," which is as well-known around the world as anime, with the reliability of Japanese-made products and culture, to promote "sumo and sushi," a fusion entertainment that combines Japan's national sport and Japan's representative cultural food, in the KONISHIKI style of cultural dissemination to the world.
He started his sumo career in June 1982 and retired in 1997. He is the world's most famous sumo wrestler, the first foreigner to become an ozeki in Japan.
He appeared on the long-running NHK program "Nihongo de Asobo" for 18 years, a path that children all over Japan take.
