Description

Konishiki Yasokichi is an American born non-Japanese sumo wrestler and the first to reach the second-highest rank in sumo, also called the ōzeki. Though he did not become a yokozuna, the descendant from Samoa became a three-time top division champion. He was born Salave'a Fuauli Atisano'e and labeled "Meat Bomb" or "Dump Truck" for being the heaviest wrestler in sumo wrestling. Konishiki used a range of fighting styles, starting with oshi-sumo before a knee problem forced him to switch styles and use yorikiri. His inability to employ various fighting styles may have led to him not becoming a yokozuna.
