Below are links to other sumo-related sites that we think are worth your time visiting. If you have a sumo site that you would like listed here, float us an email with your request.
English | Japanese Official page of the Japan Sumo Association. This site is recommended for daily basho results regarding all of the divisions in the sport. Results of the top two divisions are updated within one minute after the fact. One can also watch the Makuuchi bouts live by following the links on this site during the tournament. The next day's bouts, win-loss records for all rikishi, banzuke topics, etc...it's all here. The rikishi profiles, stats, and pictures are also helpful; however, a lot of the site is devoted to worthless information typical of any Japanese organization headed by ojiisans (old Japanese guys). Who cares about the birthday rikishi of the week?
www.banzuke.com is a must for anyone who doesn't have access to the live sumo bouts or highlights. View all of the Makuuchi bouts here. Just click the "movies" link from the front page. You can even view Juryo and Makushita bouts as well as classic bouts in the history of the sport. You will need to have Real Player or some other means of viewing the files.
Guess the Banzuke Game sponsored by Kintamayama (yes, you read that right). Visit this page for the best "guess the banzuke" game on the web and other interesting sumo insights from our friend in Israel.
Sekitori Toto Game | Sekitori Oracle Game. Two sumo games that challenge your knowledge of the entire sekitori ranks. Click here for details from Zenjimoto, the games' host.
Follow the Juryo Division in detail here and participate in a game maintained by jean francois MORGILLO (Hoshifransu) that is devoted totally to the lower division. Hoshifransu also may be the world's biggest fan of Toki. Check out this site dedicated exclusively to the king of lamb chop sideburns.
Italian Sumo site. For all sumo fans whose native language is Italian, this site is a must. Though we can't understand its contents, we're sure it's a lot better than our drivel.
US Amateur Sumo. Click here to visit the unofficial web-site for the United States Sumo Federation. We're not sure what the official website is, but we're pretty sure it isn't as good as this one.
Learn Japanese - Free Japanese Lessons. If for no other reason, you should learn Japanese so you don't have to rely on the weak takes provided by the English mainstream press covering sumo Click here to get started.
