A keshō-mawashi is an apron worn by high-ranking sumo wrestlers during the ring-entering ceremony of a sumo match. One, referred to as a Sumo Apron, appears as an item in the PC, SNES, and NES versions of Mario is Missing!. It is stolen from Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo by a Koopa Troopa, and must be returned by Luigi.
