Peterao 3 Posted May 7, 2011 The sekitori listed below will be absent from the Natsu Unbasho on day 1. Technically, none of them are "sekitori" East Jonokuchi 9 Fukushima I could see why he's sitting this one out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VictorDiVarca 6 Posted May 7, 2011 The sekitori listed below will be absent from the Natsu Unbasho on day 1. I almost didn't bother. Anyone want to sort out who is gone from those who is absent, be my guest (this is from the kyujo list on the NSK site). Typo corrections always welcome. I'm curious how many of them are in fact retired... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted May 7, 2011 The sekitori listed below will be absent from the Natsu Unbasho on day 1. Technically, none of them are "sekitori" Especially since none of the sekitori are on the kyujo list. Oops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotononami 86 Posted May 7, 2011 Is there any chance to see again Hokutoriki on a dohyo ... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,688 Posted May 7, 2011 Just 47? Much fewer than I expected given all the youngsters who supposedly lost their spirits because of the long break, according to the press anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haruibono 11 Posted May 8, 2011 According to my stats, Hokutoriki has dropped 33 ranks since the November 2010 banzuke was released and last got double-digit wins in September '09 (I am not worthy...) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,874 Posted May 8, 2011 According to my stats, Hokutoriki has dropped 33 ranks since the November 2010 banzuke was released and last got double-digit wins in September '09 (I am not worthy...) . Hokutoriki is 34 yrs old and dropping like a rock. Expect an intai coming out of this basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it's not like we have no explanation for it; he missed two full tournaments with injury. Anybody's going to drop 25+ ranks with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fukurou 534 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Day 3 Two withdrawals as of day 3: East Makushita 54 Asabenkei (0-1) (did not appear on day 2) East Sandanme 17 Chiyonoshin (1-0) Edited May 9, 2011 by Fukurou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keishikazawa 0 Posted May 10, 2011 Too bad about Hokutoriki. I didn't particularly like him as a rikishi, but I used to love watching him loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryafuji 815 Posted May 12, 2011 Ms30w Takanoiwa and Ms15TD Meigetsuin both withdrew on Day 5 as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,688 Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I was half-asleep at the time and I haven't rewatched the bout yet, but Ms51e Tokachiumi got dropped awkwardly by Ryuonami in their bout and was unable to flex his (left, IIRC) elbow as he left the dohyo. Not sure how severe it'll turn out to be, but didn't look pretty. Edited May 12, 2011 by Asashosakari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted May 12, 2011 Ms30w Takanoiwa and Ms15TD Meigetsuin both withdrew on Day 5 as well. They were fusen (did not appear) on day 5, not kyujo (NSK's kyujo list). They're not on the kyujo list or the schedule for day 6 either. If they are withdrawing, I'd expect to see it for day 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it's just semantics, but the point is that you can miss a match and receive a fusenpai without subsequently withdrawing from the tournament. "They withdrew on Day 5" implied that Takanoiwa and Meigetsuin weren't on the Day 5/6 schedule altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted May 13, 2011 Day 7 Two return, two withdraw: Returning (rather, just now starting) East Sandanme 46 Teruazuma West Jonokuchi 20 Miyakofuji Withdrawing (fusenpai their previous matches): Makushita 15TD Meigetsuin (0-3) Makushita 30 Takanoiwa (1-2) Whatever, they didn't show up for their matches.

"They withdrew on Day 5" implied that Takanoiwa and Meigetsuin weren't on the Day 5/6 schedule altogether. I recall mention here a few years back where a lower division rikishi missed his match because he went to the wrong side (east/west) to go to the dohyo. By the time he got to where he was supposed to be, his match had been called and the default win awarded to his opponent. Wasn't there also someone (within the last 5 years or so) who missed their bus or got on the wrong bus or something like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Day 9 Two more withdrawing East Makushita 29 Sakaguchi (2-2, fusen day 8) East Sandanme 45 Kyokuhozan (1-3, fusen day 7) Edited May 15, 2011 by Fukurou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Applauding...) Last year Ichifuji was late (maybe a few others) because of a train delay and the match was rescheduled a bit later in the same division. Takanoiwa has an ankle injury (unless I misunderstood him) That's too bad!! Miyakofuji came back to not fall off the banzuke. He had surgery a few basho ago. I am not sure he'll withdraw again now or not but plans to be 100% for action in Nagoya!!! (Applauding...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted May 18, 2011 Day 11 Late As was noted in another thread, Ozeki Kotooshu was a late withdrawal for day 11. The loss-by-forfeit was his 8th of the tournament, making him kadoban for the next basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted May 19, 2011 Day 13 Withdrawing: East Makushita 15 Ryuho (1-5, fusen day 12) Returning: East Sandanme 45 Kyokuhozan (1-3-2) West Jonokuchi 18 Tosa (0-0, absent from day 1, wants to remain on the banzuke) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,688 Posted May 19, 2011 I wonder if Ryuho is going to call it quits after the basho. He's withdrawing upon falling to MK (no injury in that bout, it was a fumidashi loss), and his stable was just gutted of four fellow sekitori before the basho, might be enough for him to call it a day.
