Kintamayama 41,325 Posted February 22, 2016 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. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benevolance 2,302 Posted February 23, 2016 Oh, and Akiseyama's really awkward squat before the tachi-ai. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irakusamaru 77 Posted February 23, 2016 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.

Kintamayama 41,325 Posted February 23, 2016 I am adding Ikioi's "marching in place for 10 seconds". How could I forget that.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkinnySumo 32 Posted February 24, 2016 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. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
