Takatoriki vs Super Middle Schoolers

[mikawa 1,794]

A TV show pitted Takatoriki against 2-time Wanpaku Yokozuna Yamashita Shosuke (山下 昇介), which Takatoriki was able to win pretty comfortably.

And so, they decided to see how he would fare against some top middle schoolers, one from each grade (1-3), really liked their choices btw.

First up, we have 1-time Wanpaku Yokozuna, 2-time Primary School Yokozuna and multiple Hakuho Cup winner Uchida Kyota (内田 京汰). Though a bit shy, Uchida is a very skilled rikishi (having also learnt Judo), and has a very good strategical mind. However, his one weakness is that Uchida lacks raw power (he almost never wins by oshidashi). Let's see if Takatoriki can take advantage of that.

And next, we have Primary School Yokozuna and Hakuho Cup winner Kawazoe Fuma (川副 楓馬), who is as good academically as he is sporting-wise (4th in his whole year group). Kawazoe has incredible power as well as superb fighting spirit, and thinks quickly during bouts. Can Takatoriki find a way to beat him?

Finally, we have Middle School quarter-finalist Nobehara Toma (延原 闘真), who doesn't like studying, but is an all-round rikishi.

Takatoriki looked like he was dying out there. How old is he now? (did I see mention of being 49?)

DB gives a birthdate of September 28, 1967 so yeah, 49 for another month and a half.
