Officially licensed by the Japan Sumo Association, Nippon Oozumou Kakutouhen is the PlayStation 2's first grappling title dedicated to the sport of Sumo Wrestling. Boasting more than 700 real-world fighters (including Musashimaru, Takanohana, and Akebono) Oozumou enables its players to create their own alter ego and send them on a quest to be come the Yokozuna Grand Champion. The animations were created thanks to the motion-captured cooperation of actual JSA competitors, and several different game modes (including exhibition and career) are available for diehard sumo fans.
