This is the moment a sumo wrestler showed off his amazing musical talents as he expertly played a drumming arcade video game called Taiko no Tatsujin.

Ishiura Masakatsu, a Japanese sumo wrestler, posted the incredible clip to his thousands of Twitter followers who were immediately impressed.

The video has now been shared more than 13,000 times on social media.

Taiko no Tatsujin was first released in 2001 by Japanese game developer Namco.

The clip starts with the sumo wrestler holding the drum sticks as he waits for the game to begin.

As the game gets under way he displays all his impressive talents and beats the electronic drum in perfect time.

By the end of the clip he seems somewhat out of breath but pleased with his score.

'He then went on to perform a few songs for us and this is one of the recordings I managed to get.
