Konishiki Yasokichi – 633 lb

With 633 pounds to his credit, Konishiki Yasokichi is not someone you want to run into in a dark alley. But don’t be fooled by his bulk or sumo wrestling expertise; he appears to be a fairly mellow man. Yasokichi was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and became the first non-Japanese wrestler to win three division championships and achieve the second-highest rank in sumo, Ozeki. Sadly, Konishiki “Meat Bomb” Yasokichi came close but never achieved Sumo’s highest position, the Yokozuna, which means grand champion. He now works as a musician and raps in both English and Japanese.
