That is for certain, and here I've been thinking among the top three to be Futabayama, Tanikaze, Raiden Seems fitting though considering that today marks the first anniversary of Chiyonofuji's passing.

rhyen 1,858 Posted July 31, 2017 For a different survey (limited to the museumgoers & post-war yokozuna + Futabayama + Raiden). Result to be announced on 9th August. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakura 1,524 Posted August 2, 2017 The `Top 30' rikishi program will be shown on Jason's channel over the next few days. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washuyama 662 Posted August 2, 2017 6 hours ago, Sakura said: The `Top 30' rikishi program will be shown on Jason's channel over the next few days. I would consider it a "favorite 30" or "most popular 30" rather than a "top 30" as Endo, Ura and even Takamisakari are higher than a number of Yokozuna and Ozeki. As a extra, the show had a female panelist/guest list what I understand as the "most attractive" rikishi. (I'm not sure though as my understanding of Japanese is EXTREMELY limited) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do understand that it's a popularity contest and nothing more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,847 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) It was the top 30 of the most amazing rikishi (mottomo sugoi), not necessarily the strongest or greatest rikishi -those get voted for at the Osaka museum, but the top is likely the same: Chiyonofuji.

Akinomaki 41,847 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Downloadhelper. Youtube-dl needs the m3u8 playlist URL, which easiest is to get with Downloadhelper, but Downloadhelper can download it alone for the BS11 VOD site, unlike Yahoo videos. Youtube-dl with the video page URL downloads the list of playlists, but can't download the video directly from there. One can find the necessary playlist URL in this list though. Edit: hopefully also this episode will be VOD for the whole world o o Edited August 9, 2017 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,847 Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I haven't seen the Japanese version of this yet, so I post this Chinese news report of keiko at the new Tomozuna-beya (likely before Nagoya with an uninjured Asahisho in makushita) - all talk by Japanese (the oyakata as well) is Japanese with subtitles - Hakuho is not in it Edited August 8, 2017 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On 7/25/2017 at 15:47, Akinomaki said: the exhibitions's poll about the strongest rikishi ever at halftime has Chiyonofuji in the lead, with about 30% of all votes, Taiho has about 20%, Hakuho and then Futabayama follow behind. Since we didn't split the first ranking into a different thread: the final results, top as expected: http://www.sankei.com/west/news/170809/wst1708090033-n1.html 2003 votes in all votes 1 Chiyonofuji 547 2 Taiho 325 3 Hakuho 271 4 Futabayama 5 Kitanoumi 6 Raiden 7 Takanohana 8 Kisenosato 9 Asashoryu 10 Wakanohana I selectable were only yokozuna since 40.
