The headline says it all. The Japan Sumo Association announced plans to hold a special sumo event (Kanjin Zumo) at Kokugikan on April 16, in the midst of their hefty jungyo schedule. The tour will have returned to the Kanto region several days prior, and will be holding a jungyo event in Tokyo at Yasukuni Shrine on the 15th. Many of the details are still to-be-determined but the proceeds will benefit Ishikawa Earthquake recovery. Several wrestlers are from Ishikawa, including Endo, from the hard-hit town of Anamizu. Kagayaki and Enho are also from Ishikawa while Asanoyama is from neighboring Toyama and has worked to raise money for the recovery.
