Akinomaki 34,359 Posted July 4, 2015 Ms1 Tosayutaka, nickname Gori-chan, after last year again visited a real gorilla at the Japan monkey center in Inuyama-city, Aichi.And again like last year he received a branch of the miraculous mandarin tree, which had sprouted and did bear fruit out of a seed mixed in the excrements of gorilla Taro, at a probability of 1 to 2 million. (I don't know how they calculated this, seeds usually are mixed in excrements and it helps them sprout)With this lucky charm he finished 11-4 last year and hopes to get back to juryo this year.http://www.daily.co.jp/sumo/2015/07/04/0008178903.shtml 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inhashi 2,363 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Found a few scenes from Jill Coulon's "A Normal Life Chronicle of a Sumo Wrestler" that were not included in the film on Twitter. Here we see Kyokutenho, Kyokushuho, and loveable Asahisho fooling around in the heya in 2008? 2009? Just had to make a minor edit... I'll take the salt for my personal use on the dohyo in exchange for the towel. ???? !?! Oh! We are so twink and ikemen! Iyada! I don't want the towel! :'-( Censored by chankonabe Kyokushuho to the rescue. Thus, a lesson in humility and modesty.

Hakuhonofan 324 Posted August 24, 2015 On the 24th of August, Hakuho gave a one and a half hour lecture in front of about 600 Nagoya City high school students at Nagoya Noh Theater. The event was organized by local social service organizations. He spoke of hardships when he came the first time to Japan, even crying three times on his first day there, but knew he's going to get stronger through keiko and thus persevered. He also mentioned his father's role in winning the olympic, and his failures to be yokozuna in 2006, and how grateful he was to have so many supported him when he was injured. His current goal is to still be a yokozuna in 2020, so he's able to do a ring entering ceremony at Tokyo Olympics. It is so he's able to stand together with his father's record.
