    A sumotori is a competitor in the sport of sumo.
    All my fight strategy is based on deliberately injuring my opponents. -

    "It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever get near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propoganda visits...Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecendented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."

    First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.

    According to this page,

    http://www.surfshop.net/users/dsblake/sumoterm.htm

    Sumotori and Rikkishi are synonyms, but Sekitori refers to a specific rank. They generally seem to use Sumotori more generically than Rikkishi, though. I'm certainly no expert.

    Could be an anglicized thing to help out those dumb ol' gaijin. I've never been closer to Japan than either Anchorage, AK or San Francisco, CA - whichever is closer.
