Third Briton ever to join sumo, joins..

[Moti Dichne]

Nicolas Tarasenko, 16 years old (!!), 1.87 meters, 120 kilos, has joined Minato beya and has passed the shin deshi kensa (new recruits check-ups) today. His favorite food is fried chicken, and there's nothing he dislikes in Japan. He's familiar with the chanko  his senpai make, saying, "They're really good at making it." His favorite Japanese word is "patience (gaman)." He says he's enduring the rigorous training thanks to his senpai. His dream is to become a Yokozuna, and he enthusiastically stated, "I want to become a Yokozuna so that more Britons will join sumo. And I want to teach sumo to them." He is scheduled to make his debut after obtaining his entertainment visa, at the Nagoya basho).
