Yes!

[Kintamayama 45,119]

Needless to say, this one gave me nightmares unlike any other... (Sigh...) But I was finally able to find a van driver (on the right side of the van, nonetheless!), and a suitable hand holding a sushi, and then pasted Konishiki's face on the driver with the hand... not perfect, but about as good as it's gonna get for this very unusual motif! :-(

Eggsalad!! I am deeply pleased by this work of art!!! BANZAIIIII!!!

[Naifuzan 1]

Naifuzan ナイフ山 (Knife mountain?)

Not quite.. It's supposed to be "to kill with knife" as an answer to kyukenzan's "to kill with bow and sword".

I can ask him to write down the kanji or whatever kind of letters its written in :-(

I can only chime in! I am very pleased with my kesho mawashi.

It was YOUR chanko... :-(

[Kotoseiya Yuichi 3]

Originally I meant 'Kingkiller' or 'King of Amur'

Would you by chance have kanjis for those variations or should I really use those "impossible..." kanjis?

[Anjoboshi 2]

Added 2 more keshos: Kashunowaka and Kojamuri.  That leaves only a handful:

Anjo: complicated description... got a picture of this already I could use?  Or at least one that is similar? :-S

I'll try, I'll try... just give me a few days because i'm quite busy with university stuff right now (let's hope that i'll find a good picture...)

Anjoboshi 安心星 (Star of ascetic practice?)

The "Anjo"-part of my shikona is not japanese, i guess that i have one of those "impossible shikonas". (Yawning...)

The question is now if i should translate by meaning or spelling...mhm...

Swedish cyber rikishi Kashunowaka:

[furanohana 3]

Furanohana 仏の花

In fact, my shikona would rather be written using the same kanji as in TakaNOhana, as it is from him that it was initialy made :

Furanohana : 仏カ花

(and thanks very much for that; I've wanted to write my shikona for an long time, but never really took the time to search the firts kanji (Laughing...) )

By the way (even if it's totaly off-topic here) : Something very funny is that my shikona can actually be transleted into something that makes sense ! Because, knowing absolutely no Japanese outside of some sumo terms, I never chose this shikona thinking it could mean something. My idea was that I wanted the -nohana part as in Takanohana. Then I though "Hey, I need something before that; what could put ?". And I chose to use tha beginning of my familly name "Furelaud" : Fure-nohana. As it didn't sound good, I changed the 'e' into an 'a' : Furanohana.

And only later I realized that the "fura" part could be interpreted as a contraction of "furansu" (If 'm not mistaken) and then could mean "France" or "French". And since I'm french, this couldn't be better.

And now I'm very happy to have a shikona that could mean something, related actuelly to me, and with a possibility to write it in kanji.

;-) (Applauding...)

[Kotoseiya Yuichi 3]

Actually, I'm not sure where I got that 仏 kanji but I seem to recall I somehow connected it with France as well. (Laughing...)

So here's the updated list again. When all shikona have been confirmed, I'll start producing those wood plaques.

Kotoseiya 琴星夜

Tokimori 闘牙森

Kintamayama 金玉山

Kashunowaka 歌手ノ若

Doitsuyama 独山

Furanohana 仏乃花, corrected anew

Kaikitsune 魁狐

Manekineko 招き猫

Nekonishiki 猫錦

Tominishiki 富錦

Leonishiki 獅錦 (?)

Yubiquitoyama 指咋任山, corrected

Zenjimoto 善事本, corrected

Charliki 岩魚力, approved

Naifuzan ナイフ斬, corrected

Kofuji 小富士 (Small Fuji?)

Mikaazuma 未開東, confirmed

Kojamuri 居士無理, confirmed, I believe

Anjoboshi 安心星 (Star of ascetic practice?)

Use for example this service to search for kanji you'd prefer.

BTW, the first kanji in Leonishiki is that of lion (I think). Would that be OK for you, Leonishiki?

Oh for heavan's sake, why hasn't anybody told me about this site before? I've been looking for something like this... (Laughing...)

Guess I should have asked, ne?... ;-)

Well, using the service mentionned in this topic, I confirm that this kanji seems perfect !

(for what any confirmation I, as a totaly non japanese speacking, could make... (Laughing...)

[Manekineko 200]

Furanohana 仏カ花, corrected

If Fura-zeki wants the same "nohana" as in Takanohana, it should be 仏乃花. (Hope that comes through OK...) That カ kanji is "chikara" or strength (riki in Takatouriki and Hokutouriki).

Ok, so this should be how my nick is spelled if Kykenzan remembered it correctly :-)

"Powerful French Flower" wouldn't be bad, either... :-)

[Kotoseiya Yuichi 3]

That カ kanji is "chikara" or strength (riki in Takatouriki and Hokutouriki).

No wonder it looked strange to me but as kanji look like magpie's toes in my stupid laptop's screen, I didn't realize it's the wrong one. So, I take this I'll use the one Manekineko recommends?

[Guest Mikaazuma]

The kesho mawashi are very Wonderful !!!!!! Great job !!!! :-) (Laughing...)

Zenjimoto, i send my photo, i'm one of the last with the paper bag in the head :-) :-) (Can i have the Chiyotaikai body ??)

I want to advert that there is a mistake in the result, we did 6 KK and not only 5 (Blushing...) . In the Senshuraku i won my 8th victories. In the sumoforum page, when i count the blacks points and the whites points in the Result archive page, i find 8 Whites points and 7 blacks points. ;-) ;-)

For my Kanji i don't understand !?! Does Mikaazuma translated in Savage East ?? Savage East sound like a good "war name"

[Kotoseiya Yuichi 3]

Does Mikaazuma translated in Savage East ?? Savage East sound like a good "war name"

MIKA

未開 【みかい】 (adj-na,adj-no,n) savage land; backward region; uncivilized

AZUMA

東 【あずま】 (n) east; Eastern Japan

MIKAAZUMA

未開東 Savage East :-) or something to the effect

Moreover, those three kanji are symmetrical except for the middle one which is almost. Looks very good to me so those will be the ones I'll use unless you wish me to change them.

[Zenjimoto 40]

And Mikaazuma is now officially UNMASKED! :-) That leaves only TWO paper bags left over...

[furanohana 3]

Furanohana 仏カ花, corrected

Yes. I think that more like it :-)

In fact, I (as did Kotoseya) had a stange feeling that it didn't look exactly like it should be. But I supposed it was the same knaji, and just me not being able to check it well enough.

I think I'm going to add these kanjis to my signature here ! (Laughing...)

Ah! The link I lost and have been missing! Thanks! (Applauding...)

[Guest Mikaazuma]

:-O :-O :-O It's a very special thing to see us in rikishi, with chon mage !! Definitively i keep my hair style :-D :-D

For my ring name, what about East savage land ?? It sound very good :-) :-) Like a warrior name (shogun !?!). Yes a choose East savage land so 未開東 are my kanji !!

Thank Zenjimoto for the photo and Kotoseiya Yuichi for my kanji name (Applauding...) (Protesting...) (Applauding...)

I've completed my body picture now! With shikona and everything. I just hope it's spelled and written right (Applauding...)
