“Ain’t no way that’s the same person,” the internet exclaimed after a former sumo wrestler’s weight loss went viral.
Takanobu Satō, better known by his ring name “Takakeishō Takanobu,” spent his career as one of sumo’s biggest stars (literally).
In the ring, his greatest weapon was his 400-pound frame, which helped him reach the sport’s highest levels. But just months after retiring, the former champion stunned fans with a dramatic transformation.
