If we get Ichiro, then why shouldn't they get Kotooshu

This is kind of a big deal. Bulgarian Kotooshu (pictured, in light blue mawashi) has become the first European born Sumo wrestler promoted to Ozeki (only Yokozuna (or Grand Champion) is higher).

All the previous foreign born Sumo have been Pacific Islanders (like Akebono(the first foreign born Yokozuna) and Konishiki) or other Asians (like Mongolian born Asashoryu (now Yokozuna))

Maybe instead of becoming a policeman, Shaq should consider trading in his basketball shoes for a mawashi. (afterall Riles claims he's bringing in some Sumo to help train Shaq).
