Yokozuna Wakanohana is the son
of Ozeki Takanohana, a famous rikishi back in the 70's and current
Futagoyama Oyakata. He is also Yokozuna Takanohana's older brother,
making them the only pair of Yokozuna that are brothers in Sumo
history. Yokozuna Wakanohana is a small Yokozuna, and some say he
is the best technician in Sumo today. He has been somewhat injury
prone, however, so that has hampered his career. If you like to
root for the smaller guys, he's your man.
