[Wrong quote! How embarassing.] Akiseyama heading south again. Sorry to see him fall; a unique character in the ring. I just happened across his first meeting with Takanoyama: appropriate for COVID times, a "hands-free" tachiai (2011 7 day 6).

There are many others. We just don't see them. They would laugh at our presumption, but that is not their way.

Sorry about the format of the above; early is 2015 11 - 2017 1, when he made it up to K; late is after, when established in sanyaku. Early, he had a tendency to sag in the middle, late he's better in the first half than the second. -

It goes back at least to the Edo period, and appears to have its roots in Shinto worship ...

Ah, you fell for the classic blunder: "Never go against a Sicilian when kadoban is on the line."

I must admit I perked up on days 5 and 6 when Toch pulled a tsukiotoshi and uwatenage back-to-back; good to try something unexpected. But no way to try an arm throw when locked up with Terunofuji! -

There's only one choice: young ex-Ozeki with acting experience. Baruto! -

He should demand a writ of habeas corpus. -
That explains it. Thanks. Even the eternal and unchanging Ozumo twiddles and tweaks the rules now and again.

My guess is knees.

In looking through the lists, it appears that the (can't remember the term) skip-a-basho played a role on occasion. So far I've seen four cases in the 50's and 60's where apparently a single 0-0-15 didn't count toward demotion.
-
The first case I checked was Itsutsushima. Made Ozeki in January 1940, went 5-5-5; next basho, 7-8; next basho, intai at Sekiwake. So there ya go.
-
Well, if you start with hatsu dohyo in 1930 onward, there are 44 Ozeki, so that's your universe of samples. Wait, did any rikishi reach Ozeki, go kadoban, then make Yokozuna? I betcha. [The database is currently in 404 heaven now, so everyone go about your business, nothing to see here.]

Exactly what I thought (Asa/Kise). That sideways stance, and the "sticky feet" that can't be moved. -

Does it mean he's the shadow of the Hanada brothers?
