Danylo Yavhusishyn is a Ukrainian sumo wrestler who goes by the Japanese name, Aonishiki Arata. At age 21, he became the 8th non-Japanese sumo wrestler in history to win the Emperor's Cup. He has also been promoted to the rank of ozeki which is the second highest rank attainable in sumo.

Well, at least he's not identifying as female to body-slam some Sumo women.
Still, that loincloth should've been yellow-and-blue. And I didn’t hear a single “Slava Ukraini!” in Japanese. Sad.*

* Sum (pronounced as soom) in Ukrainian means "sadness." So sumo doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs.
Google says that's Japanese for "My brain is soaked in sake."
I thought it translated to, "I've Got An Itchy Sacky", with sacky being a slang term for.....well, you know....

Pay no attention to any innuendo from Comrade Other Ivan's Sumo or his screen name; and I really don't want any nonsense about his "street" (gang) name either. Hugh G. Rection is a bad dude just like Premiere Cho Bai-Din taught us that Corn Pop was.
