Yama Interview Part 1 - The Former Maegashira Who Became an American Sumo Coach

We are so honored to have gotten the opportunity to interview former Maegashira, Yamamotoyama, now just known as Yama. The story of his experiences in sumo are full of triumph and loss, misfortune and opportunity, exploitation and courage. From the top division of grand sumo in Japan to working with movie stars in Los Angeles to teaching sumotori across the U.S.A., Yama tells his own story in his own words.
