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

you sure you're not referring to Sekitori? or Rikkishi?
According to this page,

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.
