Sumo Wrestling

About
Sumo Wrestling is a sports game developed by Masaaki Hatano (波多野雅章) and released by Champion Soft. It's apparently the first of their sports releases.

Gameplay
As the name suggests, it's a game about sumo wrestling.

When starting the game you get 3 difficulty options and an 8 character name input. You'll then be shown a ranking list and get to fight 15 matches in one of 6 locations. Depending on your performance you might rank up. The goal is to become a Yokozuna, but you can still continue when you become one.

Controls are the numpad 1-9 with the exception of 5 which does nothing. The idea is to counter and time your movements properly to down or ringout the opponent.
