Washuyama

The last time I disagreed with an Ozeki promotion was Kisenosato's. I just didn't think his 10-12J-10 string was "worthy" enough at the time. Then he went on to have one of the strongest, most consistent Ozeki careers in history, ultimately earning him a promotion to Yokozuna. Asanoyama has looked like an Ozeki for the past year or so. I for one, wish him the best!

...and HAVE been for quite a while...

Every zensho not by Hakuho is a surprise.

Have you been talking to my wife again??

There were also three on the Nagoya 1976 banzuke (Mienoumi, Kaiketsu & Daiju). Not sure if there have ever.been more.

Wouldn't be completely surprised if Hakuho was still there.

Well, this IS the 21st century.

Just a guess, but it may have come about during the post-war occupation when,I assume, a number of American G.I.s discovered sumo and tried to put it in familiar terms.

I would LOVE to see this bout!!

Looks like 300 kg/660 lbs.

That's the only time Charles Barkley has ever looked small.

In the last linked vid starting at 0:33 I believe is Tatsunami inth 70's as I recognize Kurohimiyama.

I did and then I didn't.

No pee-pee touch!

I didn't recognize without a mage.
