Takamisakari retires

TOKYO, Japan - Takamisakari (back) beats Wakakoyu in the juryo division with an under-shoulder swing down on the final day of the 15-day New Year Grand Sumo Tournament at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan hall on Jan. 27, 2013. The former komusubi Takamisakari, whose pre-bout goofball antics and gutsy performances made him one of sumo's best-loved wrestlers, called time on his wrestling career the same day.
