I do not meant to be personal, and I do apologise if it seems so!

It would be interesting to know whether they really are more prone to diabetes type 2, or the commonly accepted image does not apply to each and every one of us.
Thank you very much for your input.
No. Sumo wrestling and other wrestling have nearly nothing in common-most wrestling involves fighting on the mat-if you touch the floor in sumo you lose..
Sumo is a Japanese sport. There are Chinese sumo wrestlers.
This depends on the sumo wrestler and wrestler in question. However, it can generally be agreed that sumo wrestlers are stronger. (However, many recreational/amateur sumo wrestlers are not strong)
There are Chinese Sumo wrestlers. Those that make the most money are wrestling in Japan.
YES Sumo wrestlers in ancient japan. Japanese sumo's opened there mouths and swallowed the flies that were on there faces
No, there are no weight classes in sumo. So a wrestler can be matched up with someone who is much heavier. That is why weight gain is so important in sumo training.
No.
Sumo wrestlers tend to carry a lot of mass, to make them more difficult to move and throw.
it is impossible to calculate the number of sumo wrestlers because there is always new ones.
a sumo ring is called a Dohyo
Japan
No. Sumo is traditionally only for men.
