The pre-moves

Recommended Posts

Looks like Kotoshougiku is now making his final move into a thing, naming it Koto-power and doing it away from the dohyo at public functions as well. So now we have that to add to the Kotoyuuki bark. the Chiyoootori boingy boingy spring, the Asahishou salt throw, the Kitataiki "I am Jesus, but I must touch the bandages on my knees carefully" move, the Sadanofuji 12 loud slaps on the mawashi, the Harumafuji "frog", the Hakuhou "haka(ho)" also done by Ikioi, the Oosunaarashi "I will cover myself in salt", the Kagayaki "swim" (which he seems to have abandoned during his last nightmare basho), and the Kisenosato matta. Surely there are more.

Two for the price of one - Asahisho's SUPER ULTRA EXTRA PURIFICATION!!! and Ishiura's "burnin' rubber":

He used to do a whole bunch of body and face slaps too, but he seems to have left it at the shuffling feet.

I am adding Ikioi's "marching in place for 10 seconds". How could I forget that..

Hakuho does that wavey shoulder sway as he stares his opponent. Kisenosato usually the double face slap, followed by a forward chest\belly pump.(and his salt throwing is amazing. Just wish the same for his consistency)

Kakuryu punches his chin. Terunofuji does the "Terror Mask" and also head twisting motion just before the tachia. And Ichinojo does the slap-fest macarena,starts with his calves,thighs,shoulder,then face.

And what was Asashoryu's called? It was very cool and intimidating.

And my English sucks so forgive the grammer.
