The Irony of Sumo's Bad Boy Asashoryu

This is a video essay on 68th Yokozuna Asashoryu and his bad boy image. It's a brief discussion of the strict code of conduct that sumo wrestlers have to abide by at all times. Yet ironically, at the top rank of sumo, sumo wrestler and Yokozuna Asashoryu never held back in showing his fierce personality on and off the ring. During his career he revived the interest of people for sumo with both good and bad publicity. Nevertheless, Asashoryu was undoubtedly a showstopper. 📢I'm very excited to introduce to you my Patreon page -   / sumostewyt   where I share a more personal side to my journey in discovering sumo!
