Bio[]
Meet the Cars[]
- Kimura is an accomplished calligrapher and is one of the most precisely tuned SUVs you'll ever meet. It's rumored that he has never made an incorrect call in a sumo match—just another reason why the Japan Sumo Association is lucky to have Kimura-san as one of their top-ranked gyoji referees. He keeps the fight rolling along, calls a wrestler in or out-of-bounds, and when his gunbai war fan points, the winner has been chosen. No questions asked.
