Let's Explore Sumo in English Book by Katsuyuki Nishizuka & Lisa Vogt

The pages of this book feature characters from *Hakkeyoi! Sekitori-kun*—the official mascot series of the Japan Sumo Association. Through engaging conversations with English instructor Lisa Vogt, you can master both sumo trivia and practical English conversation skills simultaneously. Packed with manga and illustrations, the book helps you acquire English expressions for common Japanese phrases—such as *Gottsuandesu* (Thank you for the meal), *Kiai ireyou!* (Let's get fired up!), and *Otsukaresama desu* (Good work today)—that often prove surprisingly difficult to translate directly. Includes downloadable audio recordings featuring lively, anime-style voice acting.
