Kotoviki 16 Posted July 1, 2009 Everyone is waiting to hear the yobidashi call out his name. Viki, if you'll be there shonichi can you get a video of that please. God I wish I would be now!! But I will do it from the 18th on... it may still be strange so let's see! (Whistling...) All I can say is thank god it isn't Takahiro-kun who has to say his name because we could expect the absolute worst then! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kintamayama 41,274 Posted July 16, 2009 MKA won his first match as MKA today, beating Rendaiyama. "It's too bad I get noticed just because of my unorthodox shikona.." he lamented, getting plenty noticed. "I don't mind if he loses all his bouts so all he has to do is go all out and do his own sumo", said Ootake Oyakata. "Now the economy will rise too!", said some guy from the bleachers. "I'd be happy if that happens..", said Migikataagari, which literally means right shoulder rising.. Believe it or not, he has his own photo gallery today..: The rest: http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/090716/s...61648005-n1.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhino 0 Posted July 16, 2009 MKA won his first match as MKA today, beating Rendaiyama. "It's too bad I get noticed just because of my unorthodox shikona.." he lamented, getting plenty noticed.

"I'd be happy if that happens..", said Migikataagari, which literally means right shoulder rising.. I was there today - as I recall he was pushed to the tawara and there was plenty of back and forth before he eventually prevailed in improbable style. The crowd was in raptures! Nothing else provoked as much cheering until Kotomitsuki won his bout. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera (Clapping wildly...) *off-topic musings ahead* Other highlights included a great tsuri (can't remember by who) in makushita and a wonderful staredown between Asa and Toyohibiki. Fukuoka was lucky to escape with a win when already dead and buried, falling off the dohyo. Fukao was in total control, very convincing. Hochiyama seems to have totally lost it. I was also lucky enough to attend yesterday. Kyokushuho showed plenty of fighting spirit, in case anyone was afraid he'd stopped caring. He didn't quite dominate the match though. I was upset to see Takanoyama blasted off the dohyo, he really needs more weight. Ikioi seems to be recovering from whatever went wrong in his mind/body, he looked very good to me. Yoshikaze vs Shotenro was fantastic, comedy mono-ii aside. I am a big Yoshi fan though so perhaps I'm biased. Sadly my time in Nagoya is now up - I wish they could hold a basho in London every year! (maybe they could drop the Fukuoka basho, nobody turns up anyway) *end of musings* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 41,274 Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Can you tell by the picture- A; If MKA won or lost today B: Where Otis is hiding? Is that Baruto in the background in his colorful underwear? Will he now boycott the press for publishing a picture of him in his flashy underwear? Photo gallery Edited July 19, 2009 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 41,274 Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) Migikataagari has two makekoshis now since he got his colorful new name. the press are calling him "Migikatasagari". "What should I do? I really want to win, but whatever I do..". He has been hounded by the reporters since he got his new shikona. "I wish they would come because I win..", he mumbled. There is now talk of renaming him yet again, maybe lopping off the two hiragana at the end of the name, leaving only 右肩上.
