    GTB invite - Hatsu 2026- 65 entries, 15 days to go

    I know this ight have probably been discussed (and maybe even answered) over the years, but I wanted to ask again just in case. On the entry form, would it be possible to: Allow us to start typing the rikishi name and then select the matching option, instead of only choosing from a full dropdown list? Remove a name from the options once it has been selected? For example, if I choose Oho in one cell and move to the next, Oho would no longer appear as a selectable option there. I think this would make filling in the form faster and reduce the chance of duplicate picks by mistake - something I am currently suffering from.

    Aonishki and Anti- Foreigner Sentiment

    Sadly, not the case. Sanseito and the fear of LDP losing their majority so adopting some of their ideas instead of focusing on things like the yen losing 50% of its purchasing power in several years. Even in early 2000s Japanese in general were not very fond of foreigners.........

    No Okinawa this year, sadly.

    New ozeki Aonishiki

    Befitting that ex-Kaio was one of the messengers. Tight and on the point message from the young Ukranian. So, Aonishiki, I hope that Kaio told you a thing or two about how to stay in the rank for at least ten years as he did while causing some small uproar on some international sumo forum about something they called ozeki back-scratching club. Who are the other rikishis on the last picture with the schoolchildren? Can someone help.

    In all, and it muster be said deserved, plaudits do Aonishiki, I hope that the second in a row, very Yokozuna-worthy, score by Hoshoryu would not be missed out. He has started growing in the rank and I hope soon he could achieve his first Yokozuna yusho. as the things came to pass, I believe Kotozakura would be quite relieved that he is not the lone oozeki. so Takayasu once again at a sekiwake? He would have put three days ago 10€ on such a bet? schade that St. Hakuho won’t be promoted.

    Rather understandable albeit debatable decision. But what really caught my eye - how diplomatic and mature Aonishiki handles himself - from the interview at the FCCJ to this accident - he has shown hinkaki and clearly has the big goal in mind. Will he get there, no idea, but he has done the nemawashi well. I hope the Kotozakura for once would play a spoiler and make the basho even more entertaining on senshuraku. Irrespective of that this has been in the second week quite an interesting one.

    Videos- Kyushu basho 2025

    Great entertainment, despite showcasing the lack of any technical skills by both rikishis.

    Sadly, I must admit I don’t even know who Fonzie or Sailor Moon are… which probably means I’m either too old, too

    I dread the lack of interesting winning techniques in recent basho - this time there has been only one chongake. What could be causing this lack of variety? Onosato’s dominance has an eerie resemblance to a certain era that only just ended, and now it seems that the only truly exciting storyline left is Aonishiki’s potential ōzeki run.

    Endo has retired

    When the dust settles, he would be remembered as one of the most entertaining and skillful rikishis to ever mount the dohyo.

    Onosato could definitely practice a different pose.

    London koen- October 2025

    It’s quite an interesting jungyo. If the ticketing process had been more straightforward, I would have definitely visited. Here’s hoping the Paris jungyo will have more tickets available during the initial booking rounds. For everyone attending this one I hope you enjoy the experience!

    Aonishiki at FCCJ - Aiming for yokozuna

    The interview presents Aonishiki in a highly favorable light, and if his goal was to gain some goodwill, he has likely achieved it.
