The Pokemon Company Will Sponsor Official Sumo Tournaments In Japan Once More In 2022

Following last year’s collaboration, The Pokemon Company has once again stepped up to sponsor official Sumo tournaments in Japan.

The January 2022 sponsorship will include more Pokemon themed banners featuring sumo Pokemon Makuhita as well as various Sinnoh Region Pokemon, presumably to coincide with the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. There will also be a set of themed kimonos for the Gyoji (referees) to wear.

The Pokemon Company also shared a promotional video for the collab which features a Makuhita facing off against a Snorlax in a sumo match.

What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
