In this Feb. 10, 2014 photo, sumo wrestler Jesse Kuhaulua, right, talks with friend Mitsuyuki Tamae, left, of Nagoya, Japan, as the two and others were having lunch at a restaurant in Kahului, Hawaii. Sumo legend Kuhaulua went from speaking pidgin English to fluent Japanese when he left Maui for a career in sumo and life in Japan 50 years ago. He broke cultural barriers, reached the third-highest rank in the centuries-old national sport and became a coach to up-and-coming wrestlers. But Kuhaulua still remembers his roots fondly and holds the Valley Isle close. (AP Photo/The News, Melissa Tanji)
