The Art of Sumo Poetry: Celebrating Wakatakakage

One of the most fun ways to celebrate the beloved rikishi, Wakatakakage, is through poetry. Our listeners often participate in a "sexiest rikishi" poll, sharing their thoughts in poetic form. We share a few selected pieces.

These poems showcase the affection fans have for this talented sumo wrestler, bringing an artistic twist to our discussions.

Sumo Bingo: A Global Celebration

During the May Basho, we hosted an exciting Sumo Bingo game that attracted 491 players globally. Our winners were from Japan, Singapore, and Scotland, and their bios highlight the diverse backgrounds of sumo fans and how the sport transcends borders, uniting enthusiasts from all walks of life.

In this basho, several prominent rikishi were sidelined due to injuries, so the competition was wide open, leading to some surprising outcomes.

Question: What makes Wakatakage so popular?

Wakatakakage is considered a master of sumo technique, having won the Technique Special Prize 7 times. After winning his first yusho, he suffered a major knee injury and was demoted to the makushita (unpaid) division of sumo. After healing, he climbed back through the ranks to reach the highest levels of sumo again. His impressive skills and dry personality have endeared him to fans, as reflected in the poetry shared during our discussions.
