Sumo’s Newest Round of Diversity

It’s been twenty years since the first non-Japanese wrestler became a grand champion of sumo. Chad Rowan of Waimanalo wrestled under the name of Akebono. Decades later, sumo is marking a new round of diversity. HPR’s Bill Dorman has more in today’s Asia Minute.

Bill Dorman is the executive editor and senior vice president of news. He first joined HPR in 2011.
