Wikipedia is telling me they are called rikishi. Interesting. I know karate practitioners are called karateka, and judo practitioners are judoka, so I don't get why sumo practitioners aren't called sumokas.

Really sumo is more of a sport than a martial art like judo or karate, although certainly competitive judo/karate is a thing.
