Nitoryuu Rikidouzan

A former sumo Yokozuna, Rikidouzan left the sport and pursued a new path influenced by Musashi Miyamoto's lifestyle, choosing professional wrestling. He began in Hawaii, using a technique called the "karate chop," based on Musashi's dual-fist method, to beat multiple opponents. Later, he moved to the U.S. mainland to immerse himself in professional wrestling. Despite lingering anti-Japanese attitudes, he slowly earned public admiration through his strength and personal charisma.
