Future Monster series

[Akinomaki 39,479]

So far the TV series had mainly the big Touma for sumo, but this future monster looks much more interesting: Yuuki Satoyama from Ishikawa (17, 180cm,105kg).

After 2 years again Touma is the future monster in the focus, now 3rd year at Tottori Johoku high and 183cm and 190kg. He only said he wants to join ozumo in the future, not if he wants to go to college first. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1tW411K7jd/

First year Urasoe middle school Tsuguto Touma 當真嗣斗 (13), 181 cm, 150 kg, from Okinawa

3 yusho in a row both in 2 national events on primary school level, which can be entered from 4^th grade on. Oyakata watching him then: “Unbelievable !”
Of course he wants to become a yokozuna in ozumo, eager to enter quickly, becoming one and staying yokozuna for a long time: “I'm also confident regarding my speed.”
His ideal for a rikishi is Asashoryu.

Well, being the Tottori Johoku captain is no easy feat, but I can't say that I've been impressed by Touma or would expect big things from him in ozumo. Seems like he'd be another Kiyonoumi.

Amarsanaa and Ishioka are visible at a few points in the video, and I'm wondering what's next for them.

Touma had a - likely last - appearance on the future monster series again, including the press conference with Hakuho and the shindeshi-kensa - the rest is about Tottori johoku - and an interview with his father. 

In the end the traditional team fight of the graduates against the next generation in the sumo club: 5-1 for the graduates - only Touma the captain lost, to the next captain.

Lower division rikishi can't be followed like that by the media - as long as he doesn't make it to sekitori, he won't appear again on the program.

Tomorrow Nakamura is on Fuji TV's Lion (-corporation - the present sponsor of the program) no mirai-monster  - as the (Nittaidai uses as symbol a) lion future monster he definitely will talk about his future plans - short clip: https://twitter.com/miraimonster_cx/status/1600788391377129472

A bit old for a future monster - sumo's so far were at first for 5 years the big Toma (a failure for Hakuho) and now 5 times Toyoda Rinnosuke (plus one time 11y old Kumagai)

I checked the future monster past episodes and remembered this one

Satoyama was seen as sure to enter ozumo, but I haven't heard from him ever since. The first 2 sumo monsters had no future, Toyoda may also turn out only a pocket monster

It should help the show's success rate by following someone who's already a monster I suppose. Many of the primary school champs turn out not so great when older.

Toma was basically just huge, and Toyoda, though skillful, seems to have barely grown.
