I used to watch sumo on ESPN several years ago, every 3 months they featured a show called Sumo Digest that summarized the quarterly tournaments of the highest Japanese professional sumo league. With the majority of the pre-match rituals removed and only the actual wrestling shown, the bulk of the tournament could be shown in a one-hour tv show. Takanohana was the last Japanese Yokozuna; the current Yokozunas are both from Mongolia.
Here's a pic of Takanohana during a tournament ritual dance:
