Lance Cpl. Giovanni L. Ramires (right center) leg sweeps his opponent, June 10, 2017, during the annual Henoko Okinawa-Style Sumo Tournament at Mae-No-Hama Field in Henoko, Okinawa, Japan. During a bout, competitors try to earn points by making their opponent fall into the “dohyo,” or sandy pit, without striking or letting go of each other’s belts. The first to gain two points is the victor. Okinawa-style sumo wrestling, also known as kakuriki, is a combination of western wrestling and traditional Japanese sumo and judo, according to Fumio Iha, Camp Schwab’s community relations specialist. Ramires is a native of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and an intelligence specialist with 3rd Intelligence Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group.
