[edit] Mr. Fuji?

In the Trivia section, it states that Although the WWE wrestler known as Yokozuna was never a sumo wrestler, his manager, Mr. Fuji was in fact a former Yokozuna. There is no mention of a sumo career in the article for Mr. Fuji, and being foreign-born, wouldn't it be highly unlikely he would be accorded this rank, even if he was a sumotori? --Enigmatick 19:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capitalization

When is it appropriate to capitalize "yokozuna" and "ozeki"? The capitalization on this page is inconsistent. Could we use rules similar to those for other ranks, where it is capitalized in conjunction with the name of an individual (their title), but not capitalized when not referring to a specific person? e.g., "President Roosevelt is considered to be one of the finest American presidents." --Country Wife 18:28, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
