[sumo] More yaocho stuff

[Barbara]

Still, I feel a bit clueless to have not gotten that one.  And I gave my 
granddaughter a pachinko machine last year, too.

Which brings up the obvious question.

Are there any rikishi who are notorious pachinko-holics? And if there 
are, how do they fit themselves in front of that narrow machine in those 
narrow aisles?

It's hard to imagine.  Like Chiyotaikai playing golf.
