Doitsuyama 1,185 Posted January 9, 2006 We had the rare event of all four ozeki and two sekiwake winning plus the sole yokozuna losing against Georgian Kokkai. The two ozeki Chiyotaikai and Tochiazuma and the two sekiwake Kotomitsuki and Hakuho are the undefeated sanyaku with Roho the only undefeated joi-jin after two days. Five more lower maegashira are 2-0, most notably Wakanosato. Tochinonada is 2-0 in juryo with a win against Ushiomaru, while three other makuuchi regulars Kaiho, Shimotori and Takanowaka all lost. Dairaido picks up where he ended last year with a 2-0 start; he started 2005 at Ms22w and had six kachi-koshi with a 37-21 record. Daimanzuru also had a good year 2005, with 45-45 in juryo good enough to move from J14w to J4e; he also starts 2-0 and can set an eye on makuuchi by now. Homasho and Mokonami also are on the way up as shin-deshi and are 2-0. Satoyama lost to Wakakirin and is 1-1. -- Doitsuyama Day 2 Juryo Ms1e Hokutoiwa (2-0) oshidashi J14w Masatsukasa (1-1) J14e Wakakirin (1-1) oshidashi J13w Satoyama (1-1) J11e Kyokunankai (2-0) tsukiotoshi J12w Kotokasuga (0-2) J12e Homasho (2-0) oshidashi J11w Sumanofuji (0-2) J10w Mokonami (2-0) uwatenage J13e Kanbayashi (0-2) J10e Kobo (1-1) yoritaoshi J9w Tamaasuka (0-2) J7e Takanotsuru (1-1) sukuinage J8w Harunoyama (0-2) J8e Ryuho (2-0) oshidashi J7w Kaiho (1-1) J6w Buyuzan (1-1) oshidashi J5e Takanowaka (0-2) J6e Tamakasuga (2-0) oshidashi J5w Asofuji (1-1) J4w Otsukasa (2-0) hatakikomi J9e Shimotori (1-1) J4e Daimanazuru (2-0) oshitaoshi J3w Senshuyama (0-2) J1e Tochinonada (2-0) yorikiri J2w Ushiomaru (0-2) J2e Dairaido (2-0) oshidashi J1w Daishodai (0-2) Makuuchi M16e Wakanosato (2-0) uwatenage M16w Katayama (0-2) M17e Kitazakura (2-0) yorikiri M15e Shunketsu (0-2) M14w Tokitsuumi (2-0) yorikiri M15w Wakatoba (0-2) M14e Tosanoumi (2-0) yorikiri M13e Tochisakae (1-1) M12w Toyozakura (1-1) abisetaoshi M13w Yoshikaze (0-2) M11e Hokutoriki (2-0) oshidashi M12e Kasugao (0-2) M10w Kotoshogiku (1-1) yorikiri M11w Kyokushuzan (1-1) M10e Takamisakari (1-1) yorikiri M9e Kisenosato (1-1) M8w Futeno (1-1) yorikiri M9w Toyonoshima (1-1) M8e Jumonji (1-1) yorikiri M7e Aminishiki (1-1) M6e Ama (1-1) uwatenage M7w Kakizoe (1-1) M6w Dejima (1-1) uwatenage M5w Kasuganishiki (1-1) M2e Roho (2-0) kubinage M5e Iwakiyama (1-1) M1w Tokitenku (1-1) hatakikomi M1e Miyabiyama (1-1) S1e Kotomitsuki (2-0) yorikiri M4e Hakurozan (1-1) S1w Hakuho (2-0) kotenage M4w Asasekiryu (0-2) O1e Chiyotaikai (2-0) oshidashi M3w Tochinohana (0-2) O2w Kotooshu (1-1) yoritaoshi M3e Takekaze (0-2) O2e Tochiazuma (2-0) oshidashi K1w Tamanoshima (0-2) O1w Kaio (1-1) yorikiri K1e Kyokutenho (0-2) M2w Kokkai (1-1) yoritaoshi Y1e Asashoryu (1-1) Day 2 Juryo J14e Wakakirin (1-1) Ms1w Kinkaiyama (0-1) J13e Kanbayashi (0-2) J12w Kotokasuga (0-2) J12e Homasho (2-0) J14w Masatsukasa (1-1) J13w Satoyama (1-1) J10w Mokonami (2-0) J11e Kyokunankai (2-0) J9w Tamaasuka (0-2) J8e Ryuho (2-0) J11w Sumanofuji (0-2) J10e Kobo (1-1) J7w Kaiho (1-1) J9e Shimotori (1-1) J6w Buyuzan (1-1) J6e Tamakasuga (2-0) J8w Harunoyama (0-2) J4e Daimanazuru (2-0) J7e Takanotsuru (1-1) J5w Asofuji (1-1) J2w Ushiomaru (0-2) J2e Dairaido (2-0) J5e Takanowaka (0-2) J4w Otsukasa (2-0) J1w Daishodai (0-2) J1e Tochinonada (2-0) J3w Senshuyama (0-2) Makuuchi M17e Kitazakura (2-0) M15w Wakatoba (0-2) M15e Shunketsu (0-2) M16e Wakanosato (2-0) M13e Tochisakae (1-1) M16w Katayama (0-2) M14w Tokitsuumi (2-0) M12w Toyozakura (1-1) M12e Kasugao (0-2) M14e Tosanoumi (2-0) M11e Hokutoriki (2-0) M13w Yoshikaze (0-2) M11w Kyokushuzan (1-1) M8w Futeno (1-1) M10w Kotoshogiku (1-1) M7w Kakizoe (1-1) M7e Aminishiki (1-1) M10e Takamisakari (1-1) M9e Kisenosato (1-1) M6w Dejima (1-1) M6e Ama (1-1) M9w Toyonoshima (1-1) M5e Iwakiyama (1-1) M8e Jumonji (1-1) M5w Kasuganishiki (1-1) M2w Kokkai (1-1) M4w Asasekiryu (0-2) M1w Tokitenku (1-1) K1e Kyokutenho (0-2) S1w Hakuho (2-0) S1e Kotomitsuki (2-0) M2e Roho (2-0) M3w Tochinohana (0-2) O1w Kaio (1-1) O1e Chiyotaikai (2-0) M3e Takekaze (0-2) K1w Tamanoshima (0-2) O2w Kotooshu (1-1) O2e Tochiazuma (2-0) M4e Hakurozan (1-1) Y1e Asashoryu (1-1) M1e Miyabiyama (1-1) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) i haven't looked it up but i have the impression that Asashoryu loses all the time either to a yoritaoshi or a oshitaoshi .... he just never gives up ... hope he won't pay it sometime with an injury ... EDIT: ok i checked it and he lost 7 times since Hatsu 2005 and 4 of these were by yoritaoshi ... the rest sotgake,uwatenage hikiotoshi. So my impression was not very accurate but close enough. Anyway, the "won't give up" attitude is clearly demonstrated in his losses Edited January 9, 2006 by aderechelsea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted January 9, 2006 it seems that Hakuho has changed his attitude towards his tachi-ai stategy ... He stopped doing the "butsugari-style" tachia-ai, going for the left grip right away (which cost him a lot of losses in the past) but goes more "head-on"... This assumption could be wrong though because i've only watched two matches by now, but since i always thought this was his worse characteristic in his game, it made a big impression ...
