I find Ichiyamamoto's personality to be so joyful and infectious. I can't get enough of his appearances off the dohyo. I love this video he did with Wakamotoharu, where he shows him around his hometown in Hokkaido.

I had the benefit of watching this with my wife, who knows enough Japanese to tell me roughly what was happening. Even so, there are certain moments here that you don't need language to understand.

Ahhh jealous! My Japanese is more or less non-existent but this video is gold! There’s so much sumo content I don’t know about yet. I’m keen to keep writing about it but hope I don’t make any glaring errors!

Mistakes are inevitable, part of the process and how we improve. Just keep chugging along. If you ever have any questions, shoot me a message!
