So does Akinoshima have poor records against all small and agile rkishis?  I
can understand that a certain build would have weaknesses when fighting the
antithesis of their frame but to the extreme that Kotonishiki has against
Akinoshima?  I guess I find it hard to believe that their lopsided
face-to-face record can be solely attributed to their different body frames.
