VVはWn minutes his presence drew the attention of passersby. Cab drivers did doub,e takes, a deliveryman hopped 01 it of his van to get his autograph and a sumo television commentator came over for a chat.
Jesse, as he is known by friends and foreigners in Japan, was amiable to all ex. cept a man who began snapping photos without asking.
"Da-me, da-me," Jesse shouted, waving the man away. "I didn't say you could take my picture."
The man began io put up a mild protest, but he cHdn't argue for long. One doesn't argue wはh a 6"4, 455«pound man who wresi,es for a living.
Jesse spoke of some of the changes he's seen in sumo since he began wrestling nearly 20 years ago.
JaparTs rising standard of living, he offered, has had a negative impact on the younger wrestlers: Nowadays, they don't put up for very long. In the early1960s, Japan was considered a developing country. Good jobs were not easy to come by.
"Things have changed since I fけst started out," lamented the 39-year .old veteran. "The
youngirwreゅers kriQwぼIs eぉy to ma" hfumey (?utsW|^ of Slim 6, that" lsarveぉler lけ€ioutside of sumoノ'
The newcomerきcouldn't have moreまrking邻自st them than Takamlyama did. When19.year'ol(T Jesse Kuhaulua entered Takasago Stable in1964, he had It doubly hard. He was a novにe and a foreigner.
"In the beginning nobody talked to me,'リesse recalled. "Nobody could or wanted to speak English to me."
But sumo's "fけst and only successful foreigner" paid his dues at the bottom of the hierarchicial kohai-sempai system, learning the language along the way. As a junior member (kohai) of the stable, he had to do .*he dirty work, including sweeping, cooking and waけingon the higher-ups (sempai).
The hefty Hawaiian also earned respect by becoming a better wrestler. In1968 he entered the top makuuchi division, and in July1972 he crowned eight years of dedication and hard work by capturing the tournament yusho (championship).
Despけe grumblings among a few sumo purists that the national sport was being defiled by this first-ever win by a foreigner, the response was Dverwneimingly favorable, and fame and furtune followed for the personable Takamiyama of Happy Valley, MauJ.
Today, though surely beyond his peak as an athlete, Jesse is still immensely
