TOKYO -- For the first time ever, a wrestler ranked at the top of Japan's venerable sport of sumo wrestling was disqualified for grabbing a fistful of his opponent's topknot and yanking him down to the dirt -- and Japan is duly scandalized.
"Topknot grabber, unheard of," read a headline Friday in the nation's largest newspaper, the Yomiuri.
"A first that has sullied the honor of sumo's highest rank," blared another in the Nikkan Sports tabloid, a photo of the hair-grab covering its front page.
