Not to forget Sugishita, who never won a single fight (one fusensho) including Mae-zumo. He starts in his Mae-zumo group with Toshinoshin, Shohozan, Nishikigi, Ryuden and Tochihiryu (without meeting one of them) and lost his fight against Moriurara, the dai-persister formerly known as Morikawa. It´s definitely not the longest mk-career, but maybe the most frustrating, more than one year without any sense of achievement.

At the moment more than 7.500 views for watching the Kinta-summary (Natsu 2015 at the end 9.412 views), so approximately 500-600 every day. Some of you should visit http://www.dichne.com/donate.html and donate or at least write heartbreaking E-Mails to Kyokutenho, Wakansato or Ichinoya with pressing demand, to change their minds and continue. These videos are an important bridge between the streaming aficionados and the sumo couch potatoes in lurker mode (like me), and also an essential landing point for Sumo (Forum) rookies. Normally the Nihon Sumo Kyokai should pay for this great advertisement as an invest in getting more fans all over the world, maybe they´ll wake up briefly ("briefly" in this case: September 2037), but meanwhile we could help them ... Grateful greetings from Germany to Mr. Dichne, please watch as a inexcusable broad hint P.G. & Paula, back then much younger (and smaller), but still on the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiu6RMMNERs

Don´t forget this guy: Sugishita, who never wins a fight (ok, one fusen) - not the most consecutive mk, but maybe the worst win%...

What about Shimoda/Takateru in Natsu 2006? He wins his Makushita debut as a TD at MS15 with a 7-0, but he never reached Juryo, while the Natsu 2006 Jonokuchi freshmen Tochinoshima and Sakaizawa and even claas mate Matsutani seem to overtake him (not to forget the unbelievable Sugishita - amazing vintage...).

In watching that bout, that was the thing that immediately struck me. As wonderful as Ama's ucchari was, his tachiai was equally as poor. If you watch the bout again (espacially in slow motion), you

Ichihara is stronger, Sakaizawa is more intelligent, so let

...and this one was a fusen win. So he never wins a real bout, cause his Mae Zumo-record was 0:5 ... and he lost against Morikawa.... Ginkgo

Younger brother of Iwakiyama or just the same type of wall-crash? Ginkgo

You'd better believe it!!! (Applauding...) Every kk from Jonokuchi goes to Jonidan, so no need to hope or to believe, it

No change if I choose f.e. Wakanosato, Kaio, Baruto & the winning Buyuzan. Same effect, clandestine action, no discussion (and a chance to use this move again). And for me, winning by doing nothing is not like a step sidewards (that

Yes, I was wondering if that was the case. It was the case. Ginkgo

Just in case, you
