>> Kotooshu is the most successful foreign sumo wrestler who currently competes in Japan.

They obviously haven't noticed the small matter of two Mongolian grand champions.

True. Yesterday Asashoryu was awarded the nation's highest civilian award, and Harumafuji was awarded the nation's highest recognition in sport's achievements in Mongolia.

... or they can't say the difference between Japanese and Mongolian people ... It's disgusting guess I know, but the IQ level of journalists in my country went that low last years.

Shame ... (Sigh...)

Well, "disgusting" is a bit of a stretch. It's about as ignorant as any other news article about Sumo. Anyway, from one Bulgarian to another, you know how we just love to talk about foreigners acknowledging our country, so this shouldn't be a surprise. (Sigh...)
