TOKYO, Japan - Osunaarashi smiles at a press conference at Otake stable in Tokyo on May 29, 2013, after the Japan Sumo Association elevated him to the juryo ranks, making the Egyptian the first rikishi from Africa. "To be the only one makes me happy," said the 21-year-old wrestler, whose real name is Abdelrahman Ahmed Shaalan. In the background is a portrait of legendary yokozuna Taiho, who died in January.
