Sumo is a traditional Japanese style of wrestling, and is often regarded as the national sport of Japan.
Sumo wrestlers are usually very large and overweight, and they wear a loincloth (mawashi). A match is over if a wrestler is thrown out of the ring by his opponent, or if any part of his body except the soles of his feet touch the ground.
