「SUMO PRIME TIME STARTING!!」

This is “SUMO PRIME TIME”, Japan Sumo Association’s official English YouTube channel. It introduces many fascinating aspects of sumo by taking a closer look at the grand sumo tournaments, rikishi or wrestlers, plus its history and tradition. I’m Hiro Morita, the host of the show. I’ve been doing live play-by-play sumo commentary for NHK World-Japan since 1999, MC for GRAND SUMO Highlights, GRAND SUMO Preview and various other programs. In “SUMO PRIME TIME” I’ll be sharing with you some of the most interesting and exciting things about sumo, so please make sure to subscribe to my channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLtOECZPTHBnR6X6Vg06LDQ 00:00 Opening 00:34 Grand Tournaments 00:41 Rikishi / Wrestlers 02:13 History & Tradition 02:48 Ending 「SUMO Encyclopedia」A valuable lesson by the sumo historian Oyama oyakata. https://youtu.be/l479IYLtaRo 「SUMO Pocket Guide」 Let's learn sumo basics with Hiro & Oyama oyakata! https://youtu.be/8d21P0XP1-Q 「The making of a sumo rikishi」 https://youtu.be/7rHfEcXtvRA 「SUMO Banzuke Rankings」 https://youtu.be/tlmnMrm9Ng4 Building the Dohyo https://youtu.be/7s3yiI0odU4 「Rikishi Ready For Battle」September tournament https://youtu.be/nieQJxuGJak Meeting with the Champion! https://youtu.be/nROGsVTU6RA #sumo #fight #sumoprimetime
