Sumo stablemaster Tokitsukaze and several wrestlers are facing charges in the death of a 17-year old wrestler.
Tokitaizan died of a heart problem from shock brought on by multiple external injuries.
Wrestlers have admitted to hitting him with a beer bottle, attacking him and burning him with cigarettes.
Burn marks were found on several places after he died.
The boy's real name is Takashi Saito.
He collapsed during a training session and was confirmed dead a few hours later.
During his abbreviated training, the boy escaped, was dragged back by other wrestlers, hit, cut with a beer bottle and attacked by senior wrestlers.
And, we are left to wonder...what else goes on inside the sumo world?
