[sumo] Who should be engraved on sumo's Mount Rushmore? | The Japan Times

[Robert Brown]

I think there are too many worthy candidates for a sumo Mount Rushmore
(only four slots), maybe a sumo hall of fame instead.  Most of the rikishi
John mentioned would be included although Asa might be banned as sumo's bad
boy (ala Pete Rose not in the MLB hall of fame).  I would also include
Takanohana and Akebono.  Their rivalry brought alot of spectators to sumo
and Akebono is the first non-Japanese yokozuna.
