Online sumo games have a small but loyal following.
For some players, choosing and managing a squad of rikishi in Bench Sumo or Sekitori Quadrumvirate brings an extra layer of excitement to their fandom. For others, it is a good complement to the action in the ring and a handy way of learning about the various rikishi and their head-to-head records.
The games come in many forms, with some requiring just five minutes to select your wrestlers once prior to the tournament, and others needing input on a daily basis.
