The purpose of this paper is to look at the opinions of the "Nix Women" and the traditional Sumo patterns from the viewpoint of the spectators. For the survey, we handed out question- naires to the spectators who saw the Sumo Tournament on September 14th, 2007. The world of sumo has been rocked by a series of scandals involving fixed sumo bouts and yokozuna Asashoryu. The survey also is to investigate the feelings about these scandals. More than half of the spectators understood that some sumo bouts were fixed.

The Japan sumo association has been maintained the ban on women entering the traditionally men-only sumo ring, from Edo period. At issue is whether Fusae Ota, the prefectural governor of Osaka, and other women should be allowed into the dohyo, the elevated sumo ring, for ceremonies such as awarding the Osaka Governor's Prize at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament in Osaka. Ota has requested the honor since winning her first term in 2000 and continues to be denied. In Edo period, the women did not allow into the tournament arena. They could allow to see the Grand Sumo Tournament from 1872, after the Meiji Restoration. From that to now, there was no survey to women spectators. This survey made clear the ratio of spectators between the sexes at the Grand Sumo Tournament. It showed that 42 percent of spectators were women. It was more than 25 persent of Japan Professional Baseball, less than 47 percent of J-league Soccer.
