Best Answer

There is no one person who is recorded as the inventor of sumo Wrestling, as it is an ancient Japanese sport that traces back centuries with no record of its originators. Professional sumo, which can still be seen today, can trace its roots back to the Edo Period in Japan's history, which lasted from 1603 to 1868. The first professional sumo tournaments were held in 1684. It is believed that professional sumo wrestling came about as an alternate source of income for the samurai.
