Hello, For me it will be Jk24w Asanozawa Thanks Tagada

Tagada Equipe B 2-1 Merci

Stats show that Kyokushuzan has beaten Kotomitsuki twice out of 11 bouts in the past. Two victories, two hatakikomi. So never say never. Kyokushuzan can beat Kotomitsuki even though it is much more probable that Kotomisuki wins. Both are in great shape and a new victory is not impossible at all. Kyokushuzan is one of my favourite rikishis and I can't beleave that I haven't chosen him more in my sumo games. (Whistling...) When you're able to win ten times in eleven bouts, I can't imagine you're too old for sumo. You win with your body but you also win with your head and I'm sure that Kyokushuzan is one of the more sly rikishis of the banzuke.

Thank you for what you do for this excellent game. An error is always possible but you do a very good job. (Sign of approval)

I had the same problem. My three first rikishis are Tochiazuma, Chiyotaikai and Kotooshu. They won on day 8 so I think I should obtain 54 points (10 *2 + 9*2 + 8*2). I have only obtained 34 points.

When you are famous, you know you have to to be photographied without authorization in certain circonstances : a politician knows he will be photographied during his speeches, an actor when he gives a press conference, a rikishi when he is very close to the gymnasium entrance or on the dohyo. But I suppose that nobody like to be photographied in the street without autorization and that Kokkai would probably have accepted if you had asked him if he accepted to be photographied.

I have a fast connection (8 Mbits) but the sound is about 3 or 4 seconds ahead of the picture. I don't remember it was like that the previous bashos. But I didn't experienced special difficulties to obtain the connection to the NSK's site, except when I tried during the 4 or 5 last bouts.

Among the active rikishis with a significative number of bouts against Asashoryu (at least 3 bouts), Tochiazuma is the onliest with a winning record (8-7). Kaio has a 9-9 record but it will evolve tomorrow.

Tochiazuma won 8 times against Asashoryu and lost 7 times. He has a 6-4 record since Asashoryu is Yokozuna : it is really impressive ! Kaio has a 9-9 record against Asashoryu and can become tomorrow the second active rikishi to have a positive record against Asashoryu on a significative number of bouts.

11 wins won't be enough. 12 wins should be enough, even without a jun-yusho (but 12 wins would probably also mean a jun-yusho). In fact, given Hakuho's level of sumo, I'm about sure he is able to obtain at least 13 wins. If he continues to appear as the new Taiho, he can't lose more than 3 bouts next basho. So he will become ozeki after next basho.

According to the NSK, Hakuho is 192.00 cm. I guess it's about 6 feet and 4 inches.

Hakuho has won 48 bouts since his makuuchi debut. Hatsu basho 2005 is his fifth tournament. In the past, only two rikishis won at least 48 bouts for their first five bashos in Makuuchi division : Musashimaru won 48 bouts during his first five complete bashos ; Taiho won 53. Hakuho has 9 more bouts to do better. If he manages to do better than Taiho, it would be an extraordinary great record, probably the greatest possible record except winning more than 6 yushos in a row, or 6 yushos the same year, or more than 32 yushos in a career.

A much better answer than if he had said "Oops... I dit it again !" (Oops! )
