I remember watching some sumo variety show in which he was asked his aim for the coming basho. "Zensho" was his reply, with an obviously joking face. Funny guy.

That... was the basho that got me hooked on regular sumo watching. I was staying somewhat close to his heya some weeks ago, too bad no chance to visit it. Maybe next time...

Shohozan! I enjoyed his streetbrawl sumo along with Yoshikaze's berserk when they were still active and kicking. Otsukaresamadeshita...

Good old Hak is happy his dame-oshi some years back finally bears the fruit.

He looks more like annoyed to me. Oh no, enough with all these interviews, ceremonies, and meeting people already. Just let me have my nap!!

ICHINOJO YUSHO!!! Glad I didn't jinx him Now to find that yusho interview video...

That gave me a good laugh! Oooh joban sen and Shodai, very fitting

Of course not, not much fighting in that one-second bout

Thank you Kintamayama san. I hope your monitor is fine

Go Ichi!! I'll be thrilled to see him win the yusho. His two JY were pretty exceptional, hope he will continue performing well and achieve higher than those.

I'm always amazed at sansho pics. They look totally different compared to how they appear on the dohyo! Sadanoumi should be 'slimmer', Takanosho 'bigger', Daieisho 'rounder'. Re: Hosh. He's been quite helpless against Terunofuji. Needs to fix that. But somewhat good showing (and uncle-frown) in sanyaku so far indeed.

Thank you Sir! Your videos are very fine!

The NSK knew how it would end up, so they gave the two shukunsho unconditionally Congrats anyway to T for the yusho no. 7! It's not back to the free for all era... not yet.

Any sansho prediction/news yet? Hope Sadanoumi and Takanosho will get some. Just found out that Sadanoumi's sole kinboshi was exactly 7 yrs ago, 2015.5 (vs. Harumafuji). And guess who got the yusho that time? Terunofuji, 12-3. Daieisho and Takanosho were not born yet that time

Aaah shoulders?!! I was quite confused first time I saw it, trying to put it in context with Teru/Takakeisho
