Re: Trivia Question

[Masumi Abe <abe@accesscom.com>]

YAHOO! founder Jerry Young's famous Akebono server has sumo FAQ.
This server, Akebono, is the one Jerry started working on collecting
URL's, including sumo URL's. This server will be a major item when
YAHOO! open The YAHOO! Museum some day.

Anyway, the answer to the question is found in this Sumo FAQ, which is
contributed by Toshiyori Masumiriki, and the answer is Shomen with a
long "o" sound. Shomen originally means "face-to-face" or
"right-into-face". Sho means right or correct, and Men means face.
