Amanogawa 79 Posted March 13, 2004 Just a little filler topic. :-P From "Sumo" magazine March issue -"What is your hobby?" ( I just wrote "music", but it's"listening to music" not "writing music" or "playing music in a band". And about "movies", they mean "watching movies" or "going to movies" and not "shooting" or "being in the movies", unfortunately :-P ) East side! Asasahoryu music Chiyotaikai music Tochiazuma music Wakanosato watching sports Kakizoe music Miyabiyama pachinko Dejima MD editing TOchinonada reading Aminishiki computer games Tokitsuumi fishing Hokutoriki music Tochisakae fishing Takamisakari music Buyuzan email Kasuganihsiki fishing Asanowaka movies TOki music Kotonowaka computer games Harunoyama watching travel-shows Futen'o Igo Wakanoyama watching pro-wrestling Yotsukasa music West side!

Asashosakari 20,223 Posted March 13, 2004 KaioUÂ playing with radio-controlled models So KaioU IS a robot!!! (Laughing...) (Alien stuff...) LMAO...I had the exact same thought when I read that. Sure would be interesting to know who's in charge of his radio control, no? :-P Thanks Amanogawa for such a neat and interesting post! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted March 13, 2004 nice to see a lot of fishermen among them.......(i like fishing too) and it seems i could hang out with Takekaze too (although i find it difficult to picture him on a bike...... (Alien stuff...) ) their free time must be limited though so it is normal to see a lot of "music listening" and "movie watching".......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Buckton 1 Posted March 13, 2004 Daily when in town and not away I see a great many junior rikishi parking their bikes, locking the lock, looking right then left, respecting the green cross codeand then making a 10 metre dash across the road to enter a smoke filled pachinko center. Not being considered the most refined of hobbies I'd say Miyabiyama is likely one of the most honest unless all today's senior men have truly lost an interest in something that (in all likelihood) did entertain them in their more formative of years.

Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted March 14, 2004 If I were making a commercial for a rope, I would have a well-known rikishi bungee-jump! Do any rikishi like to do that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted March 14, 2004 Tamakasuga used to like reading books. He was said to be a quiet guy who enjoyed his books. Musoyama and Tosanoumi used to engage into frequent emailing to each other. It is probable that at least once Tosanoumi sent Muso an email while Muso was fishing. Kyokushuzan mentioned snowboarding as one of his hobbies. Didn't spesify whether he likes to do airborne tricks at half pipe. Asanowaka likes to ride a bike and read comics. He is very good at reading comics. I wonder if any Japanese rikishi have foreign language as hobby? Anyone of them studies English, Spanish etc.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted March 14, 2004 Asanowaka likes to ride a bike and read comics. He is very good at reading comics. (Ranting...) i would never expect it but i have a lot in common with Asanowaka.......... cycling and comics are my daily drugs......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Megumishiki Posted March 17, 2004 (Clapping wildly...) I hope I won't sound too ignorant...but what exactly is Igo? Futen'o's hobby? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,259 Posted March 17, 2004 (Clapping wildly...) I hope I won't sound too ignorant...but what exactly is Igo? Futen'o's hobby? In the Western world Igo is known as Go. It is a popular board game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
