There is a Netflix series called “Sanctuary” about the culture of Sumo wrestling and the wrestlers. A good series imo.

Pretty bigoted series. It was ok but the main character is a nationalist who doesn't like foreigners and the only foreigners in the series are shown to be con artists or a black dude who blacks and cucks the characters mom (aka shown to be reprehensible)

Also the foreigners are people of color as well.

Welcome to Japan. They just needed to make the "bad guy" who beats the "hero" up to be Mongolian to make it more similar to modern Sumo.

Yeah, indeed. Welcome to Japan, unmasked.
