Seiyashi 4,091 Posted June 27, 2022 It's probably his age, but somehow Ōshōma already looks like he's been sekitori for a while. He has a very... mature look in the banzuke photo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a very... mature look in the banzuke photo. Well, he's 25 and a college grad, so ... For all these college guys, the good news is they are more mature than your average 17-year-old. The bad news is they are 5-7 years older than your average 17-year old (Delgerbayar had to spend an extra year hanging out in the heya, because foreigners with degrees from Japanese Universities might start slaughtering sheep in the heya unless they are taught proper manners.)

Seiyashi 4,091 Posted June 27, 2022 Ok then it's not the age? Like Chiyosakae is 32 and somehow looks like a slightly overgrown kid who's been allowed to stay up late from now on, whereas Ōshōma has a lot more gravitas about him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChankoMonster 0 Posted June 27, 2022 Different wrestlers have different personalities. I can only assume that Oshouma, being a university sumo star is already used to the attention. Chiyosakae, being older and having toiled for over 12 years to finally earn a salary, is probably over the moon with happiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that would be fair to say, judging by the pictures on the day of the announcement. Go down nearly to the bottom of the post.
