Kyujo Updates - 2024 Kyushu

[Akinomaki 40,207]

No surprise, Terunofuji is kyujo, 2 basho in a row, 12th time in 20 basho as yokozuna. Isegahama: "Healing the body is first priority. He has to be in the Hatsu basho, we're preparing for that." http://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2024110800366&g=spo

[Asashosakari 19,073]

Last basho's jonokuchi yusho winner Goseizan appears to be out.

6 celebs.

[Adz_517 21]

Some retirements coming looking at that list for sure. 

[Yubinhaad 11,604]

A quartet of withdrawals ahead of Day 3:

Ms29w Kawazoe - nothing obviously wrong after a straightforward win today, so this kyujo is a mystery for now.

Sd6e Kyoda - looked like a right leg injury as he dropped from the dohyo in his loss today.

Jd58w Yumenofuji (fusenpai Day 1)

Jk7e Kikuchi (fusenpai Day 1)

I don't expect to see Jd67e Chiyorozan appear for his Day 3 bout. His knees are already well-wrapped, today something popped in the left one while he was on the defensive against Watatani, and eventually left the arena in the wheelchair.

Rotten luck for a very promising wrestler who has already missed a lot of bouts through injury. He dropped from juryo to jonidan and was on his way back with a sandanme yusho in September.

[Yubinhaad 11,604]

Ahead of Day 5, three rikishi join the basho along with Kikuchi who missed his opening bout - my guess is cold and flu season (and/or COVID) has arrived and will account for some of these kind of short-term kyujo. Two other rikishi have to withdraw.

Entering/Returning:

Sd45w Takashoki

Jd5e Goseizan

Jd27w Tochigidake

Jk7e Kikuchi (fusenpai Day 1, withdrew Day 3)

 

Withdrawing:

Ms3e Kamito (fusenpai Day 4) - hobbled away favouring his right leg after losing on Day 3.

Jd67e Chiyorozan (fusenpai Day 3) - as mentioned above, a probable left knee injury during his bout on Day 2.

Does anyone know if Takakeisho is kyujo from oyakata duties this basho? I didn’t see him anywhere.

Nope, he is low level right now on security duties.

so he ends up showing himself guarding the dohyo as the yobidashi repair and protect it with tarpaulin. 
 

He should get a commentary slot as a freshly intai ozeki for the makuuchi matches with a mini compilation in the coming days.

Touhakuryuu did not show up for his bout today in Juryo.

[Akinomaki 40,207]

Tohakuryu today at asageiko complained about pain in the right elbow and was at a hospital for a check. Tamanoi: "We'll watch it for 2, 3 days. I think he'll re-enter." http://hochi.news/articles/20241115-OHT1T51083.html?page=1

[Kintamayama 44,756]

Doesn't look good for Mitakeum i- they are saying it's a hip injury, as well as the shoulder. I would put a question mark on Bushouzan and Kirishima (ankle) as well.

[RabidJohn 1,732]

The way Mitakeumi put his arm out as he fell, I was expecting a broken collar bone.

[Fashiritētā 171]

Very bad injury for Mitakeumi, sad, torn labrum maybe, along with the hip injury.

[Yamanashi 3,793]

Jd6e Honma with a fusen loss on day 6 to go 0-3; he may be out.

[Yubinhaad 11,604]

In the lower divisions ahead of Day 7, two more rikishi begin their basho, but as Yamanashi noted above, one has withdrawn.

Entering:

Sd38w Hakuomaru

Jd25e Yamenosato

Withdrawing:

Jd6e Honma (fusenpai Day 6)

I only noticed today that Kamito's kyujo has unusually been declared to be as of Day 7 even though he withdrew with the Day 5 crowd. Side effect of his third bout having been scheduled for Day 4 already.

I’m glad they measured him again for the duties!

Nikkan reports M17w Bushozan is kyujo from Day 7. He won his last bout to end a 15-bout losing streak going back to the Aki basho.

His Day 7 opponent Tamashoho, visiting from Juryo, will collect the fusensho.

He's tired of winning.

Assuming Mitakeumi is out (which I didn't see), that would make 2 sekitori going kyujo the same day after a win. That should be quite unusual.

[Jakusotsu 5,892]

Bushozan just appeared on the official kyujo list, but still no Mitakeumi  - weird.

[Bunbukuchagama 702]

Just now, Jakusotsu said:

still no Mitakeumi

Apparently, he said his pain was tolerable after the hospital last night, and he would see if it gets worse in the morning.
