Michihiro Taguchi is a sumo writer and ringside photographer. After years as an editor at Nikkei HR, part of one of Japan's leading business-media groups, he stepped away from the newsroom and gave himself over to the sport he loves — traveling to nearly every grand tournament in person, season after season. He is the writer behind Dohyo no Mokugekisha, currently the No.1-ranked sumo blog on Japan's largest blog network, and every photograph on The Sumo is an original image he shot at the venue himself.
The Sumo is the English edition of Dohyo no Mokugekisha (土俵の目撃者) — Japan’s No.1-ranked sumo blog, written and photographed ringside by Michihiro Taguchi.
