Porn Director Makes Movie Foreign Women Saving Sumo At College

Unlikely candidates carry weight of sumo legacy

HIROSHIMA–Dubbed the ``master of X-rated films,‘’ director Toshiki Sato is refocusing his efforts on another subject involving flesh: the centuries-old sport of sumo.

Or more precisely, how a university’s once-famed sumo club was revived by the most unlikely bunch of candidates-two lightweight foreign residents and Japanese women.

Considering the history of Japan’s more than 1,000-year-old signature sport, which still bans women from entering the dohyo, or ring, the story may seem fanciful.

But a visit to a sumo training session at Hiroshima University quickly puts matters in perspective.

The university’s sumo club was founded in 1985.

A decade later it was still going strong, picking up third place in the national and public university sumo tournament in 1996 and again in 1998.

But by the spring of 2001, the club was without members and on the verge of having to close when an unlikely cluster of two men, one from Brazil and the other from the Netherlands, and two Japanese women, all students of the university, decided to step up to the dohyo.

The club soon became even more of a melting pot when a Moroccan student and another from Mexico signed up.

After learning of this unusual story, a movie production company decided it was worthy of the big screen.

``I am interested that it was foreigners and (Japanese) women who protected the Japanese national sport,‘’ says Sato, who is known both here and overseas for his adult films.

The ``Chanko’’ crew started shooting the roughly 100-million-yen movie on the university’s campus in Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture, last month.

Named for sumo wrestlers’ food of choice, chanko-nabe, the film starts off with a scene of the Brazilian student, the sole member of the club at the time, working the campus in an effort to recruit fellow wrestlers.

Some of the club’s current members feature in the film, performing alongside popular actor Atsuro Watabe, who plays the team’s coach, and four Americans and an African who play the foreign students. Hiroshima University President Taizo Muta also appears.

And as the cameras roll, the club, now with five members, including a Spanish captain and one woman wrestler, can be found in the gym twice a week practicing their sport of choice.

All members tackle sumo seriously,'' says 21-year-old Chie Shimizu, a third-year student of the university's Faculty of Medicine and the club's only female. I hope the movie crew is able to capture how seriously we have grappled with sumo.‘’

The film will be released nationwide in mid-October.(IHT/Asahi: June 2,2005)

I couldn’t read very far into the article. Porn and Sumo is never a good combination.

No shit women aren’t allowed to do Sumo. Who wants to look at a bunch of fat chicks? Fat guys are bad enough.

This may be a bit confusing, but let me explain. Seeing a fat guy is like seeing a squid with vomit all over it. Nobody cares, nobody eats that shit anyway. But seeing a fat chick is like having a steak, but with vomit all over it. It’s just painful.

Yeah…I don’t really want to look at fat chicks, cuz females naturally have bigger asses than males and then you’ve got the added bounce of fat breasts. Yuck.
I might have missed something in the article, but where does the porn come in with the sumo movie?

Fuck how they look, it’s great to see chicks doing something they aren’t “allowed” to do.

True…it might not be the prettiest thing to look at, but I do like it when girls kick ass, meaning they do what most women dare not do, or are not allowed to do.

The acorrding to the storyl guy making the movie is famous Porn director over in Japan but it is a legitiment film it will be a docudrama

Porn or not, at least they are getting some exercise.

Fat Chick Sumo???

Fat chicks need sports besides softball.

Sumo seems like a natural.

When I read the thread title I assumed that it was another one of those sick ass fetish porn films the Japanese are so fond of making(after all they already made karate,judo,kendo and even pro-wrestling themed porn films).

Like pee standing up?
