p. Friiliiy, l. 1SS Stor-Bullettn SPORTS ON TV SUMO ON TV: Its popularity crosses ethnic borders Tomorrow "Atisanoe is a novelty because of his 547 pounds and maybe because of his arrogance. Without him, sumo wouldn't be fun, because the others are about the same. He stands out like a sore thumb." Atisanoe.

who became the only foreigner ever to reach sumo's second-highest ranking (ozeki) is struggling during the current Tokyo Grand tournament. After six days, he is only 3-3. "I think sumo's gotten to the point in Hawaii where even if Atisanoe doesn't do well, the interest will still be there," Ninomiya said.

"There have been days hen flights are delayed and once the flight was cancelled." Sumo fans are also savvy about their sport. During the March tournament, yokozuna (grand champion) Onokuni only won the championship after a playoff, giving him a 14-2 record. "Only a very knowledgeable fan would have predicted a playoff, Ninomiya said, "yet we had 100 entries picking Onokuni to win in a playoff." Ninomiya admits that the popularity of sumo in Hawaii is helped by the presence of Salevaa Atisanoe, the former Pac-Five football star who wrestles under the name of Konishiki. "Jesse Kuhaulua (from Maui) paved the way years ago when he wrestled there, and now Atisanoe is very popular, both here and in Japan," said Ninomiya. Continued from Page D-l include subtitles for some of the announcer's commentary.

There have been requests to subtitle the entire half-hour program. "We'd like to find a way to do it, but risht now there's not enough time," said Ninomiya.

These are the new breed of sumo wrestlers. That may be the trend, where they want to slim down. Onokuni, a 440-pound yokozuna, and Konishiki, Hawaii's 547-pound Salevaa Atisanoe: Sumo has been going with big roly-poly guys for 2,000 years, so to keep it colorful, you need guys like Onokuni and Konishiki. Hokutcnyu and Asashio, both ozekis (champions): 1 don't think these two Uwate Nage: An overarm throw. Tsuki Dashi: Similar to the yorikiri, except the wrestler does not grab the opponent's belt, but pushes him outside the ring instead.

Hataki Komi: The wrestler slaps his opponent down from the front. lliki Otoshi: The wrestler pulls his opponent down from the front. Okuri Dashi: The wrestler drives his opponent out of the ring from the rear. Oshi Dasbi: The wrestler pushes his opponent out of the ring from the front. Oshitaoshi: The wrestler pushes his opponent down to the ground from the front.

With 2,000 years of history, sumo is as much ritual as it is sport. Wrestlers arrange their hair in a top-knot (chonmage), enter the ring in ceremonial aprons (kesho mawashi) and wear only a wide belt (mawashi) during the match. The match itself is more than just pushing and shoving. There are 43 different techniques a wrestler can use to overpower or finesse an opponent to the ground or out of the ring. Eight of the most common techniques used are: Yorikiri: The wrestler gains control of his opponent by grabbing his belt, then pushes him out of the ring.

It's the most commonly used technique. seems like they're just there to pick up their salaries. Asahifuji, an ozeki: He is the real up-and-comer. lie has the best prospect of becoming the next yokozuna. Daijuyama: I like him because after being demoted to a lower ranking for 32 tournaments, he finally came back to Komusubi (the fourth-highest ranking).

Terao: He's kind of handsome so he has the most female fans. On Valentine's Day in Japan, only girls give gifts to men, and it's always candy. It comes by the truckloads to his house.
