practice

Gain Weight

Work Out

Train

Visit Japan

Lots and lots of training :D

Join a Wrestling team, or find a coach or trainer who has experience, and connections to the area of wrestling that interests you (e.g.: collegiate, Olympic, Professional).

All he has to do is to want to become one. He doesn't have to be really fat or anything, although it can help, but in principle, he just has to want it. If he wants to become a professional in Japan, he has to be between the ages of 16-23 and be willing to dedicate himself to the sport and start a completely new way of life- the training and conditions are very hard. If he's not Japanese, he needs to find a stable (a club) that doesn't already have a foreigner. Not many left at the moment, though.

He would have to take up a high-calorie diet to gain weight and begin intense training with a sumo master or at a sumo wrestler school. No surprise, it would take a long time to achieve this goal and become a sumo wrestler.

They would have to join a sumo stable in Japan as an apprentice. It is an honor to do be able to get a position in a group.
The first step is to be accepted into a sumo stable.

You have to be recruited into a sumo stable. If you meet the minimum requirements in height and weight, you can join. Then you complete a 6 month basic course in sumo, which includes basic moves and history.
