Akōgyokuseki

Hi Aled, welcome to the forum!

I updated the list to include Akinoshima and Takanonami at Taka's Intai dohyo-iri (very absent minded forgot to do that before) I have a bit more candidate's, possibly for Waka1, but I'm starting to feel satisfied with the names we have for Taka's. Finding tsuyuharai/tachimochi is quite interesting, maybe I might start a dedicated thread to them (if one isn't already out there?) since they are an important facet of sumo (and bearing one's sword in ancient Japan was a very high honour, since the sword was the symbol of a samurai's spirit)

Ura takes the Sandanme yusho with a perfect 7! Congrats to him as well, it won't be long untill he is back!

Yes it was lovely, they have a great rivalry them two, you always get a great match and even though Mita has been running on an empty tank this basho, I kinda had a feeling he wouldn't go down. Awesome match!

Just seen the Juryo results and wow Tomokaze, he put in a great performance this basho, finishing strong, really wish the lad well. Now he can go and play a beautiful piano symphony for Yoshikaze...

To put it bluntly sir, yes I was pretty astonished he did it twice myself but then I remembered Osaka.. That was Goeido's finest moment indeed... https://youtu.be/wwlheYE5MjE

Mitakeumi resembling a car without petrol today...just goes to show how much the lad put into his yusho win, he still hasn't picked up his energy levels yet, it took him some time to climb the dohyo after his loss. Hopefully this will encourage him to pick up his training, I and many other would love to see him do well. Ichinojo finally came to life again, it will be interesting to see what score he finishes this basho on...will he just scrape through again?

Wow Neko-damashi for Terutsuyoshi! Superb win and Daishoho looked stunned It's looking like a exciting battle of the little lads in Juryo at the moment...(go Enho!) https://youtu.be/4C1pLc-DxDg

Has Chiyoshoma turned over a new non-henka leaf? It's day 2 and already no sign of one Just a kekaeshi instead

You know... I'd never thought of that.... Let's start a campaign to bring him back, he's a sumo forum legend now

I'm miss them too.. instead we get an hair transplant ad...no where near as good

Just want to say thanks for the great stream, works perfectly and the quality is superb! Keep up the good work

Takakeisho seemed most talkative in his post bout interview, in fact it was the most talkative I've ever seen him! A deserved victory for him, Kisenosato looked very angry with himself on the way down the hanamichi. Mitakeumi looks spent! No energy at all! Poor lad... Excellent opening day, plenty of excitement and it's great just watching a basho where I don't have to bite my nails off, thanks to Kakuryu's kyujo

Here's an updated list of everything we've found so far, I'll update the list when new names are discovered... Wakanohana 1 Wakanoumi Wakachichibu Wakamisugi Kotogahama Taiho★ Kashiwado★ Takanosato* Wakanohana II* Takanohana 2 Takatoriki Takanonami★ Akinoshima★ Naminohana Wakanohana III° ★= Intai Dohyo-iri * = Kanreki Dohyo-iri ° = Meiji shrine Dohyo-iri

Consider it done, updated list to follow...
