Benevolance 2,482 Posted February 26, 2021 I only really noticed Arawashi after his return to juryo, and what struck me was that he didn't look much like the other sumo wrestlers. He looked more like some modestly fit salaryman with only a little paunch who accidentally wandered into the shitakubeya looking for an autograph, was handed a mawashi and told he was up next, and he said, "Oh, okay." And since he won and nobody told him otherwise, he just kept showing up. Which is the long way of saying, "Damn, he looks good in that suit." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly what i thought when, i saw him suited up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
since_94 650 Posted February 26, 2021 He appears to have lost a lot of weight very quickly after announcing his retirement. Must be very self disciplined. I wonder if he has a personal trainer to help with whatever regimen he’s been on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamanashi 3,771 Posted February 27, 2021 He was not heavy to begin with, and he seemed to gain muscle with the fat. One of those guys who's naturally thin; probably had trouble keeping the weight on when wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hakutorizakura 602 Posted March 5, 2021 Arawashi! I don't remember reading about his intai, but I remember him in Hatsu 2017. Didn't quite survive the meat grinder, but he did score a couple stellar wins. Otsukaresamadeshita! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rikishi have haircuts way more often than regular people - but just a small bit off the end each time. What about Aminishiki & Takarafuji? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
