Musashimaru, One of the Greats
From Musashimaru, Sumo's Ambassador-at-Large:
Years ago when I first arrived in Korea, I used to watch sumo wrestling on NHK with my colleagues. We didn't understand a word and didn't even know the names of the wrestlers. We thought Musashimaru looked like an Italian-American and called him "Frank." His real name is Fiamalu Penitani and he's from Hawai'i.

Musashimaru, the second American sumo wrestler in history to become a Yokozuna (Grand Champion)

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
