Think of a sumo wrestler.
He's probably big and doesn't wear many clothes.
And he's an Asian man.
But now women do sumo wrestling too.
Luciana Watanabe's from Brazil.
Sumo came from Japan.
Sumo and the Shinto religion go together.
It's important in Japanese culture.
In the past, women couldn't go near the wrestlers.
They couldn't watch the matches.
Women still can't fight as a job.
In 2001, international competitions in women's sumo began.
Some hope it will become an Olympic sport.
Diana Dall'Olio does sumo.
Before this, she tried different types of wrestling.
Sumo arrived in Brazil about 100 years ago.
Japanese immigrants brought it.
Now over half of Brazil's sumo wrestlers are women.
Valeria Dall'Olio is one of them.
So one thing's clear.
These days, sumo wrestling's changing.
It isn't just for large, Asian men.
