Thanks again Kintayama. I saw a video on you being interviwed and saying that you want to be on NHK commentator seat. I can definitely see that happening sometime. Please make sure to put into the forum when that happens.

Wakanosato looks like one. Kirishima suddenly bulked up like one. Maybe?

Great halftime show. I had a great laugh. And as always, thank you very much for the video posting.

Kintamayama: Not only great to see the sumo videos, but your comments are highly entertaining. I like it way over boring Sumo Digest. Thank you very much as always.

Yes a bit. That reminded me. Doesn't Tochinoshin remind you of Daitetsu? First I thought I was watching Daitetsu when I saw Tochinoshin for the first time...

Thank you Sumo Forum. I am on and off taking interests in sumo over at least 30yrs and this forum helps me keep the inspiration going to follow this most simple, perhaps the 2nd best sport in the world(first is of course triathlon!)!!

I want to thank Kintamayama for posting those great matches very basho. I enjoy your positing here, Youtube everywhere. Tremendous appreciations!

Sure, but didn't others do also? And possibly pulling strings to hide it?

I agree x100 with this idea. :-) Starting again as a tsukebito with all the duties to do would be a good sanction. Yep the second one. If he really wants it. Then ideally he should be able to join.... from the scratch.

Memory can be quite distortive, but I remember Kitanoumi was so much stronger than the rest of sumo's - the gap in strength was felt more than Asashoryu or Takanohana-II and their contemporaries. If full Gappuri-Yotsu, Asa or Taka have/had problems beating many opponents, it wasn't like that for Kita. He was pure powerhouse and stronger than the rest by a long shot..

I don't have the stats but probably he could have maintained as Ozeki if he got promoted way back when? Wonder if he can keep the new momentum up for one more notch.

Chiyo for #1, then Kitanoumi. Asashoryu might overtake them at this rate though.

Kudo's for Matsugane-Wakashimazu to spearhead this trend. I would suspect he is the part of the force who convinced others to make this happen.

Surprising there is no voting at all for 5 ozekis. I say all minus Tochiazuma = 4

Can't it be anyone but Baruto?
