Shikishima Katsumori

Honestly, the moment I learned this guy spent his career throwing people out of a sumo ring and also has opinions about music worth publishing, I had to stop and appreciate the sheer audacity of that combination. Born in Chiba in 1970, a Sagittarius raised in the Year of the Dog — which, now that I think about it, tracks perfectly with someone who just does whatever he feels like and doesn't apologize for it. Most people pick a lane. Shikishima apparently looked at the lane system, shrugged, and decided the wrestling world and the music criticism world both needed him. The details on his life are sparse, which somehow makes him more interesting — there's something genuinely cool about a guy who built two completely different bodies of expertise and didn't feel the need to make a big show of it.

Shikishima Katsumori is a Japanese sumo wrestler and music critic born on December 15, 1970, in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. He is notable for pursuing two distinctly different fields simultaneously — professional sumo and music criticism. Further details about his career timeline, agency affiliation, and personal life have not been made public.
