Benihana 1,929 Posted June 5, 2016 Hi, I'm 36 years old and from Schweinfurt, Germany. I lost track on sumo since freeTV broadcasting was ceased here. I don't know why i didn't search the net for sumo earlier, but a few months ago i gladly stumbled upon Mr. Kintamayama's YouTube channel and subsequently I ended up here. I'm fan of the Walking Fat since my youth, when i saw them on Eurosport. There was no Internet and it was always luck to find sumo while zapping through the channels. I can remember Konishiki as Ozeki and the whole yok or not discussion. I can't remember if i still saw Chiyonofuji fighting, but I saw Akebono, Kaio, Musashimaru, Musoyama, Waka/Taka and all the other great of that time and the years to follow. I can remember a Aminishiki weighing almost less than me and a fresh yok called Asashoryu. Oh sweet memories :) Aminishiki was then one of my favs, because of his style and it is sad to see him retire, just as I found back to sumo. I don't think he will recover from that injury, it's just too much, please prove me wrong. I watched the past 6 or 7 bashos on Mr. Kintamayama's channel (and i will watch 'em all) and i think i can say i'm rooting for Mitakeumi. I don't think he will make KK next basho, but i hope it will be a 5-10 at worst. I see him at least as Ozeki if he can keep this rate of developement. Other guys i have a bit of sympathy for are Kotoshobumpy, Kotohooti and Osunaarashi. Have to dig in deeper into the subject to find a real favorite. No, not Hak. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
