Sumo San is the sumo wrestler.
His G1 figure is super boring. It's just a fat dude wearing a mawashi (belt). However, the design of the protective belt looks more like thong underwear. Overall, Sumo San looks especially odd because he is just a nearly naked finger-figure with no arms and no charm.
His G2 figure is a bit better. It is the G1 figure with static arms. He is holding a chicken leg in his right hand and rubbing his belly with his left hand. It seems to suggest a stereotype that fat people can never stop eating, even while they are skateboarding.
Sumo San has a second G2 figure. This one is not eating, plus he is wearing a safety helmet and safety goggles. It is exclusive to the Downhill Dude playset.
Sumo San does not have a standard-issue G3 figure. His most common G3 figure is part of the Scuba Squad series. This figure has a magnetic hand, a magnetic back, and a bunch of silly accessories. A slight variant of this sculpt was re-released in the Magnetic Action 3-Pack along with Lenny and Whiplash.
Finally, Sumo San has a very rare G3 figure known as Sumo Santa. This was a promotional figure given out in December of 2007. It is a limited run of 500 and was not sold to the public.
