A telling of the story behind one of the most iconic pictures in sumo. Who is the sumo wrestler in this photograph? What was happening in this picture? I interviewed retired sumo wrestler and former ozeki Konishiki who appears in the picture. His colorful life (and hair) and career in sumo had changed the sport especially on the topic of foreign sumo wrestlers getting promoted to the ultimate rank in sumo - Yokozuna. In this video, let's take a look back at when this photo was taken, the career of Konishiki, and his impact in the world of sumo. #sumo #storybehindthisphoto #konishiki Support the Channel through: It's an open fundraiser to get tickets to the Kokugikan!
