In light of his recent passing in October 2018, we are covering the career and life of the 54th yokozuna: Wajima Hiroshi. Join us for a short historical bonus episode where we discuss his rise and fall through the ranks of sumo through his death last year at age 70, and all his wacky hi-jinx in between. As we mention in the episode, there is a fun thread on the Sumo Forums website with an insane amount of pictures of Wajima. We’ve linked it below with some of the ones we mention in the episode. As always, give us a call at 805-613-SUMO (7816) or find us on Twitter/Facebook!
