Kaiyo (ocean) high school, with the school emblem and of course marine blue Edit: he is the first sekitori from Kaiyo high The sekitori basho Aki 2020 - after day 15 o 0-15 due to a left arm injury during the basho, the first time in the 15 day per basho era since May 1949 that a sekitori had only one 0-15 basho.The first, but no article says the only so far. Then also the first for 20 years after Hoshitango to have a 0-15 juryo basho. o He dislocated his left knee right before Hatsu 23, to have another odd result: 0-1-6 with one fusenpai on day 2, pulling out late, though already known to be unable to enter (they don't redo the torikumi below juryo): 2 times surgery and 4 full kyujo basho in a row, return in Aki and losing the 7-0 jonidan playoff. o 2023 at the return o Ending with a 5-2 in sandanme - no mention yet why he called it quits and what he wants to do now.

Ending with a 5-2 in sandanme - no mention yet why he called it quits and what he wants to do now. Oki has not yet decided what he will do, the reason for intai was the injury before Hatsu 23, that still plagues him. After the return, he had to use pain killers to fight on the dohyo and couldn't regain his strength. Another surgery with another 2 years blank was the option, he rather decided to retire: "It's meaningless when you can't aim for higher up" The kesho mawashi made with the donations of 900 people from his village wasn't ready for the sekitori basho - he never used it. It shows the big snake from a local matsuri. That he couldn't show it on the dohyo to the fans at home frustrates him, he wants to challenge at something new and give something back to the locals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sayonara Ozumo the 4th about Oki o promotion announced - no press conference with press due to Corona, only online, also no promotion party due to that oo o the 3 kesho mawashi he used at the basho, each for 5 days oooo in addition to the left knee injury at keiko before the basho, for which he used taping on day 3 oo the left biceps brachii muscle snapped at the tachiai on day 8 vs. Midorifuji, yorikiri without resistance and straight makekoshi oo He went straight to the hospital, the shisho recommended kyujo but he kept on: only doing shiko as training in the morning, then to the hospital for a pain killer injection and to have the blood drawn out that accumulated at the affected part and then to the basho the pain killers had no effect - day 10 without taping o then with, day 15 ooo the rest of the article with likely future plans is behind the paywall as tsukebito with Kakuryu o at rehab o o Edited July 24, 2024 by Akinomaki 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
