Query-Sumo Casting for L.A. Shoot

[tara@pittardsullivan.com (Tara Belkin)]

Hi.

I'm not sure if anyone can help me, but thought I'd give it a try!

I am producing a group of promo spots for a Japanese Cable TV station and
I need to cast a Sumo Wrestler and a Sumo Referee.  We will be shooting in
Los Angeles in mid January.   We will be casting this Thursday in Los
Angeles.

We will be needing approximately 10 shots - each one only 3-5 seconds -
capturing aspects of Sumo wrestling.

Any suggestions on anyone in the L.A. area:

Sumo Wrestlers
Sumo Referees
Japanes actors who could play the above (with direction from an expert)
Sumo Expert for consultation
Sumo Wardrobe person
Sumo Hair person

Thanks for your time.
