Sumo Wrestlers
CharacterThe Sumo Wrestlers are a roving band of fighters who pick fights with shinobi and samurai wherever they roam. Led by Yokozuna, they lean on sheer size and power, and their bid to seize the Hidden Leaf collapses against an unexpected defense.
Overview
The Sumo Wrestlers are a traveling group of sumo fighters who make a habit of assaulting both shinobi and samurai. At their head stands Yokozuna, whose name doubles as the group's identity. Rather than ninja arts, they trade on the brawn their sport demands.
Role
In combat the wrestlers depend on overwhelming physical force, striking with brutal open-handed slaps to bowl over their opponents. Their ambitions reach as far as taking control of Konohagakure, a plan they set in motion with a direct push at the village.
Notable Members
Yokozuna leads the pack of wrestlers into their attempted takeover of the Leaf. Their campaign falls apart, however, when the Allied Mothers Force and Konohamaru push back and drive the group out of the village.
