Doitsuyama 1,192 Posted November 22, 2006 Hakuba won against Tochinoyama to improve to 6-0 along with surprising Kotokuni who also is undefeated after a win against Mongolian Daiyubu. Former sekitori Dairaido and Chiyohakuho improved to 5-1 as did shin-makushita Sakaizawa and Gagamaru. Czech Takanoyama is 3-3 with an uchigake win against Surufatsukasa. Wakanoho won in juryo to keep his promotion chances at 3-3. Kadomoto also is 3-3 with a win and is invited to juryo tomorrow. The other Ms3 Koryu is kachi-koshi already with good promotion chances, especially if he wins his last bout in juryo against Hokutoiwa tomorrow. Brazilian Takaazuma managed to beat strong Mori to make it a tidy four undefeated rikishi, along with 2006 entrants Daishoyu and Matsutani and Mongolian Tokusegawa. Tokusegawa got to makushita quite fast with four consecutive 6-1 after entering Ozumo as a 19 year old. Mysteriously he struggled since then, posting a 7-12-2 record in only three makushita basho while being 61-36-7 in sandanme. 18 years old Tsuchiya failed to beat 34 years old Ogiryu, so there are only three undefeated jonidan rikishi with Minanosato, Takahashimoto and Wakarikido. Tetsuhikari won against Kotoemoto to take the sole jonokuchi lead while Brazilian Kaisei kept his yusho chance with a win to stay one win behind. -- Doitsuyama Jonokuchi Jk35w Kaisei (5-1) oshidashi

Jakusotsu 6,050 Posted November 22, 2006 Tokusegawa got to makushita quite fast with four consecutive 6-1 after entering Ozumo as a 19 year old. Mysteriously he struggled since then, posting a 7-12-2 record in only three makushita basho while being 61-36-7 in sandanme.Incidently, I was looking for any active rikishi named Toku-something last week and found only him. Now he happens to be undefeated and spurred my curiosity even more. Many thanks for shedding some light on him! (Bye, bye...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naganoyama 5,948 Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Yes, he is the only active 'Toku' including banzuke-gai rikishi. In fact the only other 'Toku' rikishi I can find are: - Tokugoyama(Tokugozan) (徳豪山), Kagoshima, Nakamura Beya, who retired in January 2003 at W-jd36 with a career high rank of Sandanme #7 and a career record of 22-34-7. - Tokukaizan (徳海山), Hyogo, Isenoumi Beya, who retired in March 2000 at W-jk2 with a career high rank of Jonidan #109, record unknown.

Edit: Of course there is also Ichinoya whose previous shikona were Tokunoshima and Tokunishiki. Tokukaizan's career record was 19-20-10 in just 8 basho. As for Tokugoyama, didn't you feel it weird to have a career record of 22-34-7 along with a high rank of Sd7? More correct should be that his career record was 253-237-35 with Ms58w as highest rank (his only makushita basho, a 3-4). Other 'Toku's were Tokukaze, three different Tokunaga, Tokunonada, Tokuoyama and Tokusumi-Tokusumiyama. Admittedly most of them retired 1993 to 1995. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gambatte Buyuzan! He's out. A third win would make it much easier to come back in after next basho though. Are you sure? If he ends at 3-4 and then goes at least 5-2 in january , he should be re-promoted why not? A Ms2w with 3-4 can end up at Ms5, but it's usually Ms6 or worse. There were 24 cases of a Ms2w with a 3-4 since 1988.07, and only six fell down to Ms5 (two this year), nine at Ms6, six at Ms7 and three at Ms8. And even if he gets lucky and is Ms5 next basho, a juryo promotion with 5-2 from there still is unlikely. Generally speaking, in the juryo promotion a 3-4 followed by a 5-2 just gets you back to your old rank. Of those 24 cases just one had a 5-2 in the next basho, the other 23 were 4-3 or worse. The only one is Hakuba (2006.05 Ms2w 3-4, 2006-07 Ms6w 5-2, going up to Ms2w again). Edited November 22, 2006 by Doitsuyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madorosumaru 7 Posted November 22, 2006 Tokusegawa got to makushita quite fast with four consecutive 6-1 after entering Ozumo as a 19 year old. Mysteriously he struggled since then, posting a 7-12-2 record in only three makushita basho while being 61-36-7 in sandanme. No mystery. As Doitsu mentioned, he started gangbusters with four straight 6-1 basho, hit a wall briefly with a 3-win basho and then came back with a 5-2 basho. Everything looked rosy until he hurt his shoulder. He missed most of the next basho and had only one win. As is the case with many young rikishi, he returned too soon from injury and wallowed in sandanme for a while. Then, as he was beginning to show some life again, he was injured again and missed all of Haru 2006. He dropped all the way down to sandanme 76 in Natsu and began a slow comeback with 4 wins each in Natsu and Nagoya. Now, he is building up some steam with 5 wins in Aki and 6 already in Kyushu. The guy has a lot of ability, so if he can stay healthy, there is still quite a bit of upside. Another Mongolian that started on fire is Maenoyu, who went to Meitoku Gijuku like Asashoryu. He also had four straight 6-1 basho after he did maezumo in Hatsu 04. In fact, he had 7 basho in a row without a MK until he hurt his knee (I believe). Since then, he has been floundering in upper sandanme and lower makushita. In his case, there is still no sign that he has made a complete recovery. Finally, there is Shironishiki, who went through mae-zumo with Masatsukasa. All the way to makushita, he was just a step behind his rival. He got up to makushita 28 and was considered such a rising star that there was a news item about Asasekiryu presenting him with a congratulatory Hakata obi or setta. Sekitorihood was just a matter of time. Then, he too injured a knee and has never been the same. He has elevatored for the past two years between lower makushita and upper sandanme and at 3-3 this basho near the bottom of makushita, he looks like he is still bothered by the knee. There are some that seem to be pre-occupied with the quantitative--like how many basho it takes to become a sekitori as though that is the only indicator to the ability of the rikishi. There is a lot of luck involved while moving up the banzuke ladder. A bad injury can throw a rapidly-rising rikishi off track for several years or even forever.

Asashosakari 19,669 Posted November 22, 2006 There are some that seem to be pre-occupied with the quantitative--like how many basho it takes to become a sekitori as though that is the only indicator to the ability of the rikishi. There is a lot of luck involved while moving up the banzuke ladder. A bad injury can throw a rapidly-rising rikishi off track for several years or even forever. And the other way around, avoiding debilitating injuries can mean that you'll eventually outlast those around you...Oga, certainly not one blessed with immense innate talent, has never been kyujo in almost 14 years and the relative lack of physical setbacks ultimately paid off when he reached Juryo. In fact, what seems to characterize many high Makushita mainstays isn't that they're necessarily better than the rest of the field, but that they have the durability (or luck) to stay in one piece over the long term.

Yeah, poor Maenoyu....he still seems to suffer from his injury....with it he has lost his fighting spirit a bit too....There is always mental side of injuries which affects the rikishis, me think.

More correct should be that his career record was 253-237-35 with Ms58w as highest rank (his only makushita basho, a 3-4). Other 'Toku's were Tokukaze, three different Tokunaga, Tokunonada, Tokuoyama and Tokusumi-Tokusumiyama. Admittedly most of them retired 1993 to 1995. Obvious, now you mention it. I just slavishly copied the data from the Kyokai's entry, most of which is clearly garbage, but for some reason that didn't wake me up. (Blinking...)
