Hi Pat,
If you see sumo in your mind as basically triangular in shape then certainly the examples I posted do not fit... but, I have seen and photographed such triangular examples, I just can't find the photos

I see what you're saying, but I think that 'normal' braches on sumo bonsai fit pefectly. They add to and enhance the impression of mass given by the trunk. Skinny branches on fat trunks also somehow enhance the aged look.
Attached is my best approximation of a sumo. This is the favourite bonsai in my collection.

Chris.
