This is a link post The Mysterious Lady of the November Sumo Basho
Sumo fans can be a little bit odd. Fans of sumo fans can be a little creepy. Fans of creepy sumo fans even more so.

This is a normal post Why is she creepy?
She just looks like someone watching sumo to me.

This is a normal post I guess the stills don't illustrate just how still she was sat for 15 days, in the same oddly lit spot, alone.
I dunno, I suppose it all depends on your temperament, it either creeps you out or it doesn't.

It's a perfect storm of wtfjapan and wtfweebo for me.

This is a normal post Also ties in to traditional Japanese ghost stories...

This is a normal post If they included the moments she nipped out for a wee
Or a McDonalds, the illusion would have been broken.

This is a normal post Good seat
A friend told me I could sit down there early in the day cheekily and it would be unlikely I'd get moved. I should have been in the Gods.

But to pay for 15 days in that location is presumably prohibitively expensive - so she's minted.

Great view!

This is a normal post Very, very good seat.
I can remember when Channel 4 used to follow the sumo. One of the top models in Japan married one of the top sumo.
When they were happily announcing their first child, he said “If it’s a boy, he can look like either of us, but if it’s a girl, we’re praying she looks like the wife.”

This is a normal post Could she just be one of the sumo wags? Or someone seeking publicity by being prominently in shot?
Rather than a celebrity chubby chaser.

This is a normal post Some theorise that she's some kind of super elite debutante looking for a suitably rich (& elderly?) husband.
As gaijintendo said, reserving that spot for 15 days requires an arseload of money, and she turned up with a fresh shopping bag every day, too.

WAGs might get the odd free seat, but not the expensive ones, and not for 15 straight days. Very few sumo wrestlers ever earn the sort of money that this lady is used to.

I half suspect that she's an actual robot and this is a long-game viral marketing stunt.
