The supporting cast includes Bill Murray. The producer is Tom Hanks.

Sumo wrestlers follow a strict daily routine called keiko. Tournaments As of 1958 there are six Grand Sumo tournaments called ‘’ each year, three at The Sumo Hall (or Ryōgoku Kokugikan) in Ryōgoku in Tokyo and one each in Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. Each tournament begins on a Sunday and runs for 15 days ending also on a Sunday.

Only 70 Yokozuna Throughout the history of the sport there is record of only 70 rikishi having ever been crowned as Yokozuna. Currently #69 Hakuho and #70 Harumafuji are actively fighting. Often, sumo eras are defined by the Yokozuna who fought in them. In order to receive promotion to the rank of Yokozuna nowadays, a rikishi must win two tournaments in a row. Weight Amateur tournaments are divided into weight classes. Men: Lightweight up to 85 kg, Middle- weight up to 115 kg, Heavyweight over 115 kg and Open Weight (unrestricted).
