Tsubame 368 Posted March 9, 2020 As the title already said: Could there be a new third Hakuho-style dohyo-iri? As Hakuho is already slightly altering his original picked Shiranui-style, I wonder now for quite some time, if it is possible that he will intruduce an unique dohyo-iri style someday?! As far as I know there should be no rule that explicitly forbits a new style, or am I wrong? And as he is where he is, I can totally imagine that he wants to have his very own style. So I am curious: what are you thinking about this matter?! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benihana 1,937 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) I just compared some videos. When you play a video of a Wakanohana dohyo-iri and an early Hakohu dohyo-iri simulaneously, they are almost in sync. That won't work with today's dohyo-iri. We all know his dohyo-iri changed over the years, but basically there is no change of the style itself. He found HIS style how to execute the movements, like how he 'dances' on the dohyo, how he crouches and claps, but the movements exactly follow Shiranui. No need for a new name.

Joaoiyama 313 Posted March 9, 2020 If anyone should be given the chance to create a new dohyo iri it surely should be Hakuho, the dai yokozuna with, in my opinion, the most beautiful dohyo iri. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is only a marginal variation, a henka, but this observation brought me this this question. As compared to Wakanohana III, you will not see this position or part at the end: Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What i meant is if he switched the order and/or number of stomps or something like that, combined with a new variant of the tsuna.
