Other than being the Waka-brothers' sumo dad, this Mongolian-Chinese oyakata could be one of the biggest badasses in Sumo!
Sokokurai was forced to retire by the JSA when he was implicated in match-fixing. When he refused to do so, he was dismissed and took them to court. It was later ruled by the Tokyo District Courts that his dismissal had no basis, so he reappeared in the banzuke in the same rank as when he was wrongly dismissed.
Now he's running Arashio Stable and dining with the most inconsistent sumo YouTuber in Japan. He invited me to watch practice at his stable and gave me his business card. I should've asked him to sign it but my belly was full of lamb 😪
