Sure, there have been many foreigners that live full time (or near full time) as successful K-1 fighters and sumo wrestlers. In fact, you have a much better chance at finding permanent resident status this way than being a mangaka. The reason is, a mangaka doesn't have to live in Japan to do his or her work.

and i didn't mean to sound harsh at all; i wasn't trying to imply that furthering one's training was a foolish endeauvour or anything like that. my apologies to godwine or anyone else that might be upset by what i said.
