Yankee Sekitori

Yankee Sekitori was the fifth and final opponent fought by Kirby at King Dedede's stadium match in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode, "Snack Attack - Part II." In the original Japanese dub, Yankee Sekitori is voiced by Atsushi Kisaichi.

Yankee Sekitori is a super-sized sumo wrestler, and is often called the worst of the Martial Arts All-Stars, though Karate Kid was much more difficult to defeat than even Yankee. At the start of the final round, Kirby and Yankee did what sumo wrestlers do as usual at the start of their matches with each other, before bringing their fight on. At first, it seemed that the sumo wrestler was proving too much for Kirby, but, as Meta Knight pointed out, "Every opponent has a weakness". Kirby had a trick up his sleeve, and surprised Yankee with a cat trick, (which actually made a cat appear on screen, but was edited from the dub), and then slide kicked the wrestler from behind. But Yankee wasn't finished yet, and he powered up with his aura and attempted to body-slam Kirby. The attempt was futile, however, and Kirby destroyed him using Rising Break.
