28 Aguti - a variation of 'agouti' I think. It's 'ai', sloth and 'gut' empty.

29 Are you sure of the 'a'? I think the answer's Ozeki

24 down is KOPPA, not KAPPA, so OZEKI is right. It's a wrestling champ though, as so often, I don't understand the word play.

I thought 24 d was Kappa but obviously that's wrong.

Ozeki is...
O = Old
Zek = prisoner
I = current (I think the OP had currant!)
