Naganoyama 5,945 Posted January 30, 2017 Without understanding a word, and even if I didn't know anything about Orora, I could categorically say from this that he'll never make sekitori. He was talking in flowing sentences, above a bare whisper, and didn't sound for a moment like he was apologising for existing. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,761 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Ishiura had a talk-show with sujo Chika Yamane: she is looking out for good looking rikishi "Ishiura is handsome, but a yet unknown one is Kotodairyu!" He did PR for Tottori, his job. Rival is Ura, whom he likely will meet next basho: "I'll be very conscious and bring him down." At their first meeting in juryo last year he lost. For the basho he'll change from the green shimekomi (basho mawashi) to a dark blue one, like Washuyama, the rikishi he longs to come close to. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1781832.html o o o Edited February 21, 2017 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
