Sacred 2:Akebono Tarō

Akebono Tarō is an American expatriot who was born Chad Rowan in 1969 in the state of Hawaii. He became enamoured with the sport of sumo wrestling and went to Japan to compete. In 1995, he became a Japanese citizen and changed his name to Akebono Tarō.

He's best known in Sumo circles as the first foreign born wrestler to achive the title of Yokozuna - the highest level in Sumo wrestling. He retired in 2001 after an 8 year reign as a Yokozuna.

He is also known for being quite injury prone during his career - which brings us to his appearance in Sacred 2...

In the shadow-side quest, Dr Muchthink, our anti-hero is asked by an ogre shaman named Brartislarfass to gather 3 hands (15) goblin tendons so he can patch Akebono's injuries.

It would seem Akebono Tarō's become quite desparate in his old age (he's in his 40's as of this writing).
