[Today's Lisa Zate Topic] Today's Japan News; my name is Sumo
Sumo refers to the sounds of rituals, festivals, Bujutu, Budou, sports, and martial arts. The origin came from the adjective "sumafu"; which means to fight and resist. Therefore, it was originally called "sumai" and changed to "sumo" around the Edo period. And at first, it continued for about 300 years as an entertainment of the emperor. From the Nara period to the Heian period, what was held as part of the Imperial palace event gradually changed from what the emperor saw to what the shogun（；The person who commands and commands the army） watch. With that as a trigger, it changed to the entertainment of the common people and gradually developed into the birth of "Rikishi"(wrestlers).
Today, there are 44 sumo wrestlers, not only Japanese but also foreign wrestlers from Mongolia, the United States, and Bulgaria. However, according to the regulations, those who do not have Japanese nationality cannot become yokozuna（;sumo grand champion a year). By the way, there are not only male sumo wrestlers but also female sumo and female sumo wrestlers. The total number of wrestlers is constantly changing, so it is said to be about 650.
It doesn't matter, but my dog's name is Sumo because it will grow bigger in the future.
