Dear Baruto zeki
Congratulations on your first "Yusho"(=championship) of Makuuchi division!
Estonian first sumotori Ozeki Baruto has reached to the top.
Now we can not believe we can say "Omedetou"(=congratulation) on your "Yusho".
But this is true.
Thank you very much.
We are encouraged by your sumo.
Sumo lost much Japanese confidence last year.
And we Japanese lost much by last year huge earthquake.
But sumo give us much power.
Do you know a lot of Japanese return to watch Sumo TV program.
We know you had been preparing for Hatsu-Basho to get first tittle.
We learn much trough your sumo in this tournament.
Perseverance brings you power.
We can not imagine your everyday effort but we feel you have change yourself.
Sumo is the home base of Japanese soul.
It is not a problem wherever sumotori comes from.
You moves Japanese.
It is true.
I heard a lot of Japanese spectaculars shouted and called your name in Kokugikan.
Even if you "henka" to Kisenosato yesterday,maybe you did not hear,a lot of Japanese called your name and clapped hands in your going back behind.
(Media reported much "go back call" but it was only a few,I know)
Japanese loves you and your sumo.
Because you are a real sumotori reached to Emperor's Cup.
Best regards,
Chuchai
as represent of Japanese and sumo fans.
