Sumo great Kitanoumi dies at 62
The Japan Sumo Association said Saturday it will hold a memorial service
on Dec. 22 at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan stadium for its late chairman,
Kitanoumi, who passed away Friday night due to multiple organ failure. He
was 62.
....
Kitanoumi, whose real name was Toshimitsu Obata, was transported to the
hospital by ambulance Friday morning due to anemia. The chairman, who was
in Fukuoka for the ongoing Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, was stable until
taking a turn for the worse in the evening, according to the association.
