A keshō-mawashi is an apron worn by high-ranking sumo wrestlers during the ring-entering ceremony of a sumo match. One, referred to as a Sumo Apron, appears as an item in the PC, SNES, and NES versions of Mario is Missing!. It is stolen from Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo by a Koopa Troopa, and must be returned by Luigi.
Information[edit]
- Boy: "Hulkomania...those guys with the topknots often weigh in at 400 pounds."
- Tourist: "They wear only a belt, but there is a catch, that goes around his waist before the match."
- Reporter: "Kokugikan Arena is in the Ryogoko area. The sumos there wear that traditional apron purchased by loyal fans."
- Scientist: "A Shinto roof hung over a clay circle, under which sumo has been a tradition since 200 AD. Ready to wrestle?"
- Policewoman: "The Sumo Association has been worrying silly. Their champion, without his apron, has been fairly chilly."
