Getayukata

I would say Terao, Kirishima and of course, Chiyonofuji. I must be getting old!

Can't see for the fog The garden is like a bog Saving on sunscreen

Here is an interesting aside, which not everyone might know. Hakuho and Douglas Adams (he who gave us 42 as the answer to the meaning of Life, the Universe, and everything) share the same birthday - March 11th. And I feel honoured to share it with two such illustrious persons too! Getayukata

I thought that Tochinoshin would certainly be No. 1, but he doesn't even get a mention!

I agree that the kimono is more memorable than the mawashi. I'm not sure that I would say that it outshines it however, maybe that it it is more striking! Cheers, Getayukata

More birds! I am loving these ones too.

Oh, as a birdwatcher I love this one! It's a great portrayal of a Japanese Pheasant. It will have to go on my list of top 10 kesho mawashis!

Wait, you're a birder too? That would make two Geordie birding and sumo enthusiasts on this forum!

Wow! Another Geordie!! Welcome. I too was born and bred in Newcastle, but have been in Canada since 1973.

This reminds me of an ad that I saw in a magazine in 1990, which I liked so much I kept it. Can anyone recognise the sumo wrestler in it, or is it just some model made up to look like one?

I'm not a big fan of the highlights, but couldn't see any exclamation mark so that I could vote. I'm sure it's just me, but I find them too loud, and unnecessary. I'd rather just go straight into today's video. On the other hand, I do like font day!

May I suggest that "Yokozuna no longer" would fit the scan of a haiku better! Cheers, Getayukata

Kisenosato Spirit was willing, flesh weak Go to the Good Night

Hmmm, looks like I missed one or two when I was there in 2008!

Another very different one from Yokosuka!
