Onnagumo 1 Posted October 14, 2004 Still wondering why Tosa looks so radiant in that pic... Because he doesn't have to carry Konishiki around :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 198 Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) What? This thread still isn't locked? Well, in that case... I've run out of special themes (that is, of pictures tied by a common subject to merit that name). So, here are some random images. Kotonishiki (Heart) and Tosanoumi all decked out and ready for a jungyo dohyo-iri Kokkai getting his mage-do and focusing on the day's matches Miyabiyama in his youth already showing interest for sumo Shikishima and his nostrils - wide enough to fit in a 100 yen coin, apparently Musashimaru reclining on Takatoriki... and here I though Takatoriki had a thing about foreign wrestlers :-/ Takamisakari doing his thing. Next to his taped knee you can see Miya wandering why the audience adors it so... Edited October 21, 2004 by Manekineko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sasanishiki 5 Posted October 22, 2004 Takamisakari doing his thing. Next to his taped knee you can see Miya wandering why the audience adors it so... Cha-cha 1-2-3, cha-cha 1-2-3. Remember the footwork! Don't let her lead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 198 Posted October 27, 2004 Random images continued! Shin-juryo Roho posing in front of Odake-beya, Taiho-dojo, looking as psycho as ever Sentoryu in shindeshi days, showing off his muscly arms, and accompanied by oyakata Takashima (current Tomozuna oyakata, ex-sekiwake Kaiki) Takamisakari trying to read a magazine without his glasses Kyokushuzan, Daishi and Akebono enjoying some sun after their bath White keiko mawashi drying (so, they *do* wash the things), the one closest to us apparently belongs to Toki (notice the difference in length!) Tamakasuga getting his mage-do and smiling beatifically at camera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanorappa 62 Posted October 27, 2004 Shin-juryo Roho posing in front of Odake-beya, Taiho-dojo, looking as psycho as ever I've always suspected that the various heya employed "Bandage Gnomes". Now we have proof.(Applauding...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fujisan 286 Posted October 28, 2004 Now I see why Tosanoumi looks so happy in this picture--- Hes obviously found someone a little more managable to carry around and in one hand no less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 198 Posted October 28, 2004 Been doing some Web-space cleaning, and in a neglected folder tripped over the picture that started it all... To recall the image that forefatheredthis entire thread, just click here. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fujisan 286 Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) And there I am making silly comments as ever (In a state of confusion...) The more things change,the more they stay the same--Right? Edit-Only three days after I joined the forum aswell. Edited October 29, 2004 by Fujisan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonosuke 21 Posted October 29, 2004 (edited) Takamisakari trying to read a magazine without his glasses But this is Shukan Post he is reading ...

Manekineko 198 Posted November 3, 2004 And a final batch of random images... I've run out of images to post right now, so now it's up to the rest of you to keep this picture-heavy thread from sinking into oblivion... or I could just pin it and keep it afloat forever! :-D Tamanoi-oyakata posing with fans. Notice a manekineko in the bacground. :-) Tamarikido! Tatsunami-oyakata (moto-Asahiyutaka) welcoming once star-yokozuna Futahaguro as a consultant and trainer in his heya ID of smiling Tatsunami (presumably) rikishi would be a plus... What more proof do you need of connection between sumo and yakuza than these street thugs of rikishi? :-) Minatofuji, Asanowaka, Yotsukasa (looking less-than-thuggy) and Hamanoshima Kitazakura resplendent in purple, walking in the rain Akinoshima twirling two amused-looking kids as Kaio looks on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tenryu Posted November 3, 2004 (KaioU and his bride (bet she's easier to lift than Shuzan... and prettier, too) Ah, so that's what Mitsuko Nishiwaki looks like today! Thanks a lot for that picture. I had been looking for a recent one of her. Anymore of her to be found? I'm a big fan of pro-wrestling, especially of women's wrestling, and Mitsuko used to wrestle for All Japan Women Pro Wrestling from 1985 to 1990. She was one of the first of AJW's legendary 1985 class (which included Akira Hokuto & Yumiko Hotta) to get a push and they tried to build her into something big in 1989 letting her win their annual singles tournament and also their annual tag team tournament when teaming with Madusa Miceli (Madusa in WCW, Alundra Blaze in WWF/WWE between 1993-95 and now a monster truck driver of the car Madusa). Something unknown happend when 1990 started and she soon gone and never seen again. She also got to hold their main tag team titles twice before leaving.

Sasanishiki 5 Posted November 3, 2004 Yes, I thought it looked familiar. Wasn't it placed alittle higher, more like an altar on Friday? Perhaps it has moved up the banzuke of importance at the heya since this picture. Almost didn't recognise ?Tamanoi without his stick cum golf club. Still has that ready for golf look though. Perhaps a later tee time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coo-cook 0 Posted November 7, 2004 Soukakurai (left) - the sumotori from Inner Mongolian Autonomious Region of China in his traditional wrestling gear participating in Inner Mongolian student celebration in Tokyo. The Southern Mongolians (Inner Mongolians) do the same kind of Mongolian wrestling as we do. But their costume differs from ours. Soukakurai (his Mongolian name is Enhtuvshin) was placed second in this competition in Tokyo. The guy (on the right) who won the competition is Hosbayar (a Southern Mongolian) an all Chinese judo champion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonosuke 21 Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) Soukakurai (left) - the sumotori from Inner Mongolian Autonomious Region of China in his traditional wrestling gear participating in Inner Mongolian student celebration in Tokyo. The attire design looks very similar to what North American Native Indians wear for their "war" dance, I seem to recall Iroquois do have very similar. Very colorful and interesting. Soukakurai is a good looking kid, too, and I am sure he will gain more weight as he matures. Edited November 7, 2004 by Jonosuke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
