Akinomaki 39,784 Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) 12 hours ago, Kintamayama said: Kinbouzan from alma mater: o the presentation of the kesho mawashi for Kinbozan in the style of the Kazakhstan flag was today at his old Meguro Nichidai affiliate high school oo oo with the sumo club main coach o o o o o o I just found out that there is a Mt. Kinpu, Kinpusen in Nara pref. and one Kinpusan/Kinbozan in Yamanashi pref. , written the same 金峰山 - you mostly find that when you search for his shikona, but I'm sure that will change in his favor, as the mass of coverage for the event today indicates. The mountain on his kesho mawashi is Mt. Kinbo/Kinpo - Kinbosan/Kinposan in Kumamoto pref. - and there also is a smaller Kinpozan in Kagoshima. The frog (kaeru) is s symbol of success, climbing up the career ladder, with the hope he does frog jumps on the banzuke, it also includes the meaning shoshin ni kaeru 初心に返る (a pun with kaeru), get back to the beginner's heart - and we know the sumo frog from the Choju-giga In his native tongue the frog is pronounced like baka - idiot in Japanese - forvo.com/word/бақа/ baqa - at least with a different intonation ja.forvo.com/word/ばか/ The board chairman: "We made it a design that stands out, it took over a year." Kinbozan entered Meguro Nichidai high in 3rd year high school at age 18, without knowing Japanese. He also received some tsuna-can, with the hope for tsuna-gari, hunt for yokozuna - and yakitori-can Kinbozan injured the back of his left thigh during keiko at the Haru jungyo, but there is enough time till the basho to recover. o Edited April 12, 2023 by Akinomaki 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
