Admin’s Note

Yuu Sawau’s retirement is a significant event for the sumo world, and his 33-year career has surely inspired many people. For the fans who have supported him for a long time, it must have been an emotional moment. As Chako mentioned, while his retirement opens the door for new wrestlers to shine, it also leaves a sense of sadness at the loss of someone like Yuu Sawau. I hope that the sumo world continues to be captivating in the future.
