  • Summary

  • This episode takes us on a wild ride as Nathan finally reveals the information he’s been keeping from Jj and Jake. While digging through archival records, he uncovered some absolute gold… and some frustrating dead ends. Follow along as we trace the breadcrumbs, unravel forgotten stories, and piece together the impact of Issei sumo elders during WWII. Plus, understanding names and records can be tricky—especially with katakana. It’s not just a challenge for non-Japanese speakers but even for native speakers since katakana is used for loanwords without a universal pronunciation. To learn more about why this happens, check out this video on katakana: 📺 Katakana Explained 🎧 Listen now on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts! #EchoesPodcast #SumoHistory #WWII
