Asashoryu, Kyokushuzan become reconciled

YAMAGATA, Japan - Mongolian yokozuna Asashoryu (L) and his compatriot rank-and-filer Kyokushuzan shake hands as a gesture of reconciliation at a sports facility in Yamagata, northern Japan, on July 30. The two sumo wrestlers were embroiled in a bust-up after Asashoryu committed a taboo by pulling Kyokushuzan down by his topknot in the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament earlier this month. (Kyodo)
