Sumo is not just about pushing harder. Outlast your opponent with timing, balance, and technique—and other wrestlers keep living in the same era as you. In SUMO KINGDOM, you use push, pull, thrust, lock, and leg techniques in each bout. Push too much and you run out of stamina—brute force alone will not carry you to victory. Honbasho now runs every division across the full schedule. Check today’s card, watch key bouts, take your own match, then reveal the rest. After senshuraku, every rank updates—plus new recruits, retirements, and renames—on an east–west banzuke that carries into the next basho. Train in practice, fight in tournaments, and climb the rankings. At Juryo and above, chase championships, playoffs, and special prizes. No account or tracking. On iOS and Mac, you may optionally buy Sandanme or Makushita tsukedashi as a consumable debut path. Mae-zumo is free. While you watch a honbasho bout or observe practice, we may show ads introducing real products. Progress is saved on your device for quick sessions anytime.
