They look like they're having a good time! 

[It's hard to believe ex-Homasho ever weighed 150 kg, but you can see the evidence in the Sumo db during his last-hurrah 14-1 Juryo Yusho tournament in Osaka, 2014].

Speaking of Homasho, I had my photo taken with him outside the K’Kan during the September 2019 Basho.

Thats Homarefuji in the photo I believe, I think you added the wrong picture. Great picture however! Very cool to meet a guy like him.

I asked him in Japanese what his name is and he said Homasho.

Uhhh I don't know what he said but this is Homarefuji and this is Homasho

Yes, Homarefuji was nice, I had a photo with him as well that basho - I also mistook him for another and asked him if he would appear in Thermae Roma II, which was to be aired again on TV - about 17 rikishi etc. in that, not just Akebono and Kotooshu, but not he https://www.cinra.net/news/20140207-thermaeromae

Well, yeah! Don’t all we westerners look alike? I’m always mistaken for Tom Cruise.
