Next February the strongest wrestlers will gather in Tokyo for a special event that occurs only once a year. The 36th Grand Sumo Tournament, a special single-elimination event, will be held on February 5, 2012. There will be no room for error and no rest for the winners, as the victor from each match will face opponent after opponent, with elimination awaiting even a single defeat in this survival-style tournament. In a major departure from other events, the elimination tournament will take place entirely in one day, as opposed to 15 days for the Emperor's Cup tournaments. This will allow fans to track their favorite wrestlers as they compete again and again, all the way to the top!

JAPANiCAN.com has five (5) pairs of tickets for February's special elimination tournament, and we're giving them away to JAPANiCAN.com customers!
