Calamityama 24 Posted August 7, 2016 I've followed sumo since Nagoya 1983, when I had a glimpse of the great Chiyonofuji and Kitanoumi on TV during a kendo seminar. Since then, I've survived on books, newpapers, magazines, videos, until the advent of the internet. Nowaday, I can afford a yearly visit to Japan and a few days at the Kokugikan, generally during the May Basho. After reading the forum for years, I've finally decided I had to sign up, if only to thank all the fantastic people who have contributed to my education on sumo related matters and rendered my life bearable between my visits to Japan. A special thank you from me and both my parents to all of you who regularly post videos. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuroimori 1,634 Posted October 24, 2016 A very belated welcome to the forum and a very last minute reminder and cordial invitation to join the entertaining pre-basho Sumo Game: Guess The Banzuke (or GTB as all frequent flyers or other 3-letter-code enthusiasts call it).
