Nomi no Sukune by Kikuchi Yōsai

Nomi no Sukune (野見 宿禰?) was a Japanese legendary sumo wrestler during Emperor Suinin era.[1] He kicked and killed his opponent Taima no Kehaya (当麻蹴速?) under the Emperor's instruction.[2] It was not modern sumo, but he is regarded as the human creator of sumo.[3] He was an ancestor of Sugawara no Michizane.[1]

A mural of him, removed from the old National Olympic Stadium in 2014, will be put on display at the new stadium in 2019.[4]
