Akinomaki 40,622 Posted January 9, 2024 (edited) All 11 passed the first shindeshi kensa under the new rules - no extra small applicants yet, all cleared the usual standard and wait for the result of the medical exam - all mentioned ones are above 100kg - and Akiyama (166cm) apparently gained the extra cm for the yardstick of 167cm Miyagino's Demi and Onoe's Inami - Demi (192cm, 127kg) was at the heya as kenshusei for about 9 months (mage OK): "First of all juryo" o o o On 24/12/2023 at 18:43, Yubinhaad said: Ikkyo Shibuya (澁谷 一興) from Ushiku, Ibaraki prefecture - hometown of the shisho himself.

Nishonoseki's Ikkyou Shibuya 渋谷一興 (18, 184cm, 113kg), from the baseball club of baseball stronghold Ibaraki Joso gakuin high school - the oyakata originally was a baseball kid. From the start of school Shibuya did baseball, injured his right elbow in 1st year middle school and lost his potential for baseball. He still continued in high school but thought it hard to do that in university, and he wanted to do some sport and got to sumo: he saw a photo of (also Ibaraki PR ambassador) Nishonoseki at the station, read in the news that he has more and more deshi in his new heya and thought he could be one. o o The list of those who passed is published on day 1 Edit: Sumo, especially by the yokozuna, conveys the image of completely crippled people competing for years Edited January 9, 2024 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nishisenboku high in Daisen he watched sumo broadcasts and decided he wants to go there: he contacted the heya by himself: "Getting higher even just a bit and show the people at home how I've grown up." 3 hours ago, Akinomaki said: Demi (192cm, 127kg) was at the heya as kenshusei for about 9 months (mage OK): "First of all juryo" Demi had only about 80kg when he came to Japan and nearly no sumo experience - his father, 4 times grand champion in Mongol-sumo bokh is 197cm, an old friend of Hakuho.

At least I'm assuming that they'll be kept separate from the lower-scoring trio (where the most sensible thing to do is probably Akiyama vs Shibuya with either the winner or the loser then facing Fujihara).
