Washuyama 587 Posted November 22, 2013 I remember Kurohimeyama fondly... Sanyaku/joi regular for a good while. Reminds me of a taller version of Toyonoshima.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 16 Posted November 22, 2013 Masuiyama II was one of my favourite rikishi of all time. I admire his skills and fighting spirit although he had a weird tachi-ai. Aobajo was an other distinctive rikishi of makuuchi division during Showa 50's (for sideburns and classic style). If I remember well, he almost won one of his first makuuchi tournament.

Asojima 2,835 Posted November 22, 2013 Three stalwarts who could never be counted out in any match. I enjoyed watching all 3 of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swami 244 Posted November 22, 2013 Masuiyama II was a real specialist in uchigake, and often beat Wajima with his tripping. Swami 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washuyama 587 Posted November 23, 2013 Masuiyama also spent a good part of his Makuuchi career (up til he made Ozeki) as Kitanoumi's Tachi Mochi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
