Last week's column featured links between sumo and American football, including a mention of how yokozuna Wakanohana took up the latter sport after retiring from the raised ring.

He isn't the only former yokozuna with connections to the gridiron, however.

The 54th yokozuna, Wajima, likewise became involved in football post-retirement, serving for a time as general manager of ROCBULL, a now-defunct X-League team.
