Most of us aren't willing to go through eating tons of ramen and enduring the hazing of 400-pound stablemates just to become a sumo wrestler, but one app offers a virtual experience that may be the next best thing.

Developed by Japan's MotionPortrait, the SumoBooth app for the iPhone takes anyone's image and transforms it into a fully interactive, fat, belching, rice eating sumo wrestler complete with the iconic chonmage topknot hairstyle. The app allows you to smack the face, with real-time reactions from the virtual character, and will even show your sumo incarnation repeating any words you speak into the iPhone's mic. You can pic up the SumoBooth for just $0.99 here.
