A weekly podcast dedicated to our favorite sport - sumo wrestling. We chat about tournaments, current events, history and our favorite wrestlers. We are performers, improvisers, and creators and have absolutely no sumo training. But, we are huge sumo fans. Having lived in Japan, Leslie loves the history and traditions of sumo. She also has a deep love for sumo karaoke singers. Laurie is fascinated by sumo wrestler fandom, the sumo training regimen and physicality of the sport. Together, we serve up exciting sumo treats for sumo-curious fans. We share an enthusiasm for sumo and like all sisters, we work amazingly well together. All of the time. There are never any issues. Ever. We also occasionally send out sumo related content. It is NOT hard-hitting sumo journalism and is usually very silly.

]]> sumo kaboom, sumo, sumo wrestling, Japan, comedy, ozumo We're discussing days 3 - 8 of the January sumo tournament in Japan. We thank Yoshinofuji for giving us ALL the thrills on days 3 and 4, and we also want to thank Fujinokawa for being the polar opposite of Shodai. We truly need both styles of sumo.

We have some small sumo calendars gifted to us by @sjcurran1 on Instagram that we're giving away this basho. We'll draw names from a list of anyone who has supported us over the last year. Thank you to @sjcurran1 for your creativity and generosity, and thanks to all of YOU who support us!

Speaking of give aways and support...

We have 1 more package of Takakeisho retirement merch to give away at the end of January. You must be a monthly member to win. Become a monthly supporter https://ko-fi.com/sumokaboom

The Off-Broadway play "SUMO" opened at The Public in 2025. The story: "six men practice, eat, love, play, and ultimately fight. Step into the sacred world of sumo wrestling, with the New York premiere of Lisa Sanaye Dring’s mesmerizing new drama, SUMO. Akio arrives as an angry, ambitious 18-year-old with a lot to learn. Expecting validation, dominance, and fame, and desperate to move up the ranks, he slams headlong into his fellow wrestlers. With sponsorship money at stake, their bodies on the line, and their futures at risk, the wrestlers struggle to carve themselves—and one another—into the men they dream of being. SUMO is a thrilling new play set in an elite and rarely explored world." www.publictheater.org

After this episode aired, we received this correction from John Traill of the International Sumo Federation. "Ishiura's father is definitely not from Mongolia. You have jumbled him up my good mate Gantugs Rentsendorj. He is the main Mongolian connection as coach at Tottori Johoku. He was incredible on the dohyo and super tough for his size. He won the Sumo World Championships in 2012 against a slap happy Bulgarian despite his neck injury."

Pinch us. Life may never be the same. 1:14:49 false We did ALL the sumo things at the Kokugikan in Tokyo!

    We stood in very neat and orderly lines. We met retired wrestlers and took photos with them. We spoke in Japanese and hilariously bungled our language skills. We took photos of sumo wrestlers entering the arena and cheered them on with gusto! We got a taste of true Japanese hospitality from Konishiki and his friends. We bought sumo merch we didn't know we needed. We sweated in the humidity. We saw Takakeisho's last fight of his career. We saw just how popular Onosato is. We saw just how beautiful Abi's shiko is. We met so many lovely people.

    Hear all about it on this episode. FYI On our YouTube channel, we shared many of these stories after each day at the tournament. If you'd rather watch us than listen to us, check us out there.

    ]]>     We did ALL the sumo things at the Kokugikan in Tokyo!

    We stood in very neat and orderly lines. We met retired wrestlers and took photos with them. We spoke in Japanese and hilariously bungled our language skills. We took photos of sumo wrestlers entering the arena and cheered them on with gusto! We got a taste of true Japanese hospitality from Konishiki and his friends. We bought sumo merch we didn't know we needed. We sweated in the humidity. We saw Takakeisho's last fight of his career. We saw just how popular Onosato is. We saw just how beautiful Abi's shiko is. We met so many lovely people.

    Hear all about it on this episode. FYI On our YouTube channel, we shared many of these stories after each day at the tournament. If you'd rather watch us than listen to us, check us out there.

    ]]>     Some words immediately tell the listener that the speaker is a sumo wrestler. Certain phrases and slang describe body types, money, and love. We tried to research this ourselves and ran into a wall of information we couldn't understand. So thank goodness for Mai, avid sumo fan and podcast listener, who helped us understand some sumo-specific terminology. If you are interested in Japanese language, this episode is for you.

    HUGE thank you to Mai! Gottsu-an desu!

    Big congratulations to the U.S. Women's Sumo Team for winning a Bronze Medal at the World Sumo Championships, 2023 held in Tokyo, Japan. We'll have more coverage about this soon.

And who is this new guy, Hiradoumi? 40:00 true First, there is sumo news to share about Keisei, Kakuryu, and the next tournament. Then we focus on Hiradoumi (a new guy in the top ranks) and Chiyotairyu (not a new guy in the top ranks). They have surprisingly different stories even though they both starting sumo training in their elementary years. Guess which one has the nickname "Getz."

    Oops. We talk a lot about how Hiradoumi is only 5'8" in this episode, but he's 5.8 feet, which means he's 5'10"ish. Geez. Centimeter conversions are hard.

    ]]>     Ever wondered what an ex-sumo wrestler thinks of the guys who are wrestling now? This is your episode! Hot Takes with Konishiki - what does he think of Terunofuji, Asanoyama, Shodai, Wakatakakage, Hoshoryu, falling into the audience, and what a wrestler needs to win. What's happening in this May basho? Konishiki sees it all.

    Also, we give you our non-professional and absolutely fan-based breakdown of the sumo that's heating up in the May basho. Don't come to us for the sumo know-how. Listen to us for the silliness and fan love. Sumo smoldering, middle school dances, cirque du soleil, pancaking, sleepwalking, the sumo calendar we want to see, our favorite kimarites, strong side-hunkers, and "trickeration."
