Dosukoi Dosukoi: A Song for Sumo Spirit


Sumo wrestlers in the ring during a match at Ryogoku Kokugikan, watched by a large audience and photographers

Childhood Memories

When I was a child, my father loved sumo.
We would watch intense matches together at home.
At the time, I didn’t fully grasp the depth of this tradition.

Discovering the Spirit

Recently, I began to feel the true soul of sumo.
From the initial charge, a lifetime of determination is compressed into just a few seconds.
Watching rikishi dedicate themselves to this sacred way moved me deeply.

Creating the Song

I wrote “Dosukoi Dosukoi” to honor that dedication.
It is not just a cheer from the ring —
it is a mantra, a quiet call to face the unseen self.

When I feel like giving up,
I quietly say to myself:
Dosukoi! Dosukoi!
With courage, I take one step forward.

Sharing with the World

This song is a bridge —
to bring the spirit of sumo closer to people everywhere,
and to invite listeners into a space of respect, rhythm, and sincerity.
