Kintamayama 47,179 Posted July 29, 2003 On his return, from Mongolia, Asashouryuu sported a new hairstyle- a pig-tail. Oh man, oh man.. Kitanoumi Rijicho:"I just cautioned him, as told by the YDC". The Sumo top brass were bewildered, again. His trip to Mongolia was described as a "rehabilitation" trip for his neck or elbow, depends which paper you read. For that reason, he didn't take any hairdresser with him, so he couldn't do a proper mage, it is hinted. "Well, he could have added some oil and made the hair harder beforehand. I wish he had thought about this a bit harder before going out in public", said Rijicho. "He went to Mongolia specifically for medical treatment. He couldn't do anything about it, " said Takasago Oyakata, who nevertheless looked angry. Rijicho seems to have decided to overlook this one, but what next?

Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted July 29, 2003 If anyone out there wants to put together a few photoshop images, e.g. Asashoryu with a purple mohawk, I think that would be hilarious ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenjimoto 40 Posted July 30, 2003 (edited) In any event, I find it pretty interesting to see just HOW long a sekitori's hair is! No wonder the tsukedashi need a long time until they can finally do a proper do... On that subject, (and WAY off topic): why don't college champions start growing their hair in anticipation of what comes next, instead of being walking freaks for the beginning of their professional careers?

Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted July 30, 2003 why don't college champions start growing their hair in anticipation of what comes next, instead of being walking freaks for the beginning of their professional careers? Because of SELF-JINXING! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kotoseiya Yuichi 3 Posted July 30, 2003 I think he means that a makushita tsukedashi with a short hair who ascends fast into juryo (and perhaps even makuuchi), will look odd for a long time in his relative lack of hair compared to the sekitori with their regular oichomages. I think I've seen few images with sekitoris' hair completely open and they look like Ian Gillan in Seventies. (Neener, neener...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
