Re: nicknames

[abe@kaleida.com (Masumi Abe)]

Asahifuji's nickname, Sea Lion (Ashika) is from "Oh-zumo" by Dewanishiki
published by Takahashi-Shoten in 1992. Its front page is written primarily
in English (if you call it). You might enjoy what it says.

Sumo Wrestling
Rikishi, a sumo wrestler, enters the ring and jumps off!! He lets his every
power off to beat the rival. It's so hard Japanese traditional sport, needs
spirit, technique and body.
(and on the first page)
Enjoy Sumo Watching!! Rule and Technique

- But I could not find any other text in English in the body of the text
anywhere in the book.

Ashika is Sea Lion in Japanese, in case you don't know.
