Re: (Sumo) The Announcers

[Diana <dlbrin@postoffice.worldnet.att.net>]

This reminds me.  I was reading some back issues of Eye-Ai magazine last
night.  The October 1992 issue has an article on NHK and one of the photos
shows three fellows with the caption, "Broadcasters for a bilingual sumo
program."  Does anyone remember this and can tell me who they are ?  

Another interesting sumo related article was about Akebono's recent
promotion to Ozeki !

Thanks !
