The 18th Annual Akita International Sumo Basho (第十七回秋田県国際相撲場所) was a charity sumo tournament that was held on June 21st by Charity Akita. Every year, JETs and friends gather from all across Tohoku (and some farther still) to decide who is worthy of the title of Akita's Yokozuna.
This year, 20 wrestlers took on the challenge for the title of Yokozuna: 4 women and 16 men from across 12 different countries. They fought incredibly hard, but of course, not everyone can be the winner.
This year's charity of choice was Food Bank Akita.
