Hi there.
My name is Benjamin, I'm 28 years old and I'm from northern Germany. (Lübeck, to be exact) I already saw, that there are more people like me, who came across Sumo in the middle of the 90s because of Eurosport. As a 8-9 year old kid I was fascinated by the sport and I really loved the little caricatures of the Rikishi they used. (I don't really know why...maybe because no other sport had something like this)
With the demise of Sumo in german television, my interest shifted towards other things and other sports like Rugby. Last year I stumbled upon Kintamayama's YouTube channel and in the blink of an eye I was hooked again. I then watched the Bashos of 2015 and followed every single Basho since I discovered Kintamayama's channel. (I'm very thankful for every single person, who brings this awesome sport to the rest of the world via YouTube)
Now I'm here and I hope that I can get even deeper into Sumo, because I love to watch it, but I'm so bad when it comes to learning new terms and names of maneuvers etc.
That's it for now. I hope we all have rich conversations and discussions in the future. I'm looking forward to it. :)
