Raishu 208 Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) It's kinda interesting that Isegahama has been following a different recruiting approach since 2016. While the majority of the heya try to present new deshi during the early months of the year (probably due to the academic year ending in March), this particular stable puts its emphasis on November. LINK (2016.11 even had one more shin deshi (Toranofuji), but he is not on the list due to retirement between November 2016 and November 2017).

I dunno if "recruiting approach" is the correct word here. Their recent recruits are nearly all high schoolers, and it frequently happens with them that they're able to join as early as November. Isegahama simply seems to put more of a focus on enabling that than other stables do, perhaps by being less strict about letting them travel back for any remaining school obligations during the early months (since the maezumo basho doesn't necessarily require full-time presence at the stable yet). I don't think it would be difficult for other stables to do the same thing with their high school rookies, they just largely choose not to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nasanjargal Chinzorig, I would guess. Doesn't seem to have made any waves above the prefectural level. For what little it's worth, here's a Facebook post of the Meitoku sumo club about him qualifying for a national high school tournament in the -100 kg class, and I believe this PDF by the Kochi prefecture high school athletic federation lists what he did there (reached the third round - not sure what placement that equates to, but must be last 16 or below, as they've listed specific round names from the quarterfinals onward). In preparation for the Kyokai site screwing up the name order again - Amarsanaa and Chinzorig should be the given names. The okamisan reports that Chinzorig will fight as Daitenma (大天馬) in maezumo this basho. Meanwhile Onomatsu okamisan reports that Narumi is expected to return from banzuke-gai after over a year out of action, and I think I read last month that Chiganoura-beya's Yuriki will be coming back too. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,703 Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Hamasu had meningitis in the summer of his first year in high school and couldn't train properly during the time at Saitama Sakae, mainly just at a gym, but he's completely recovered now. Consequently he has only few tournament experience. He admired his father in videos he saw and that made him decide to join. Hamasu (174cm, 115kg) wants to surpass his father (komusubi), the dream of Shimomura (178cm, 116kg) is to become yokozuna. http://mainichi.jp/articles/20181101/k00/00m/050/023000c http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20181031/sum18103116250006-n1.html Edited October 31, 2018 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Chinzorig is the Mongolian wrestler recently featured on the Japanese TV show "You ha Nani Shi ni Nippon e?" (Why Did you Come to Japan?). Seems like the typical lumbering, serious, hard-working Mongolian with dreams of making a better life for himself and his family in Japan through sumo. He appears to have the size and work ethic to succeed. Hope he does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he sticks around, I have a feeling he'll be spending much of his career tsukebito'ing for his cousin Ryuko... Daitenma brings some clear athleticism, but otherwise seems to be a long-term project, to put it charitably, and his relative lack of impact in amasumo doesn't look too surprising now based on his Kyushu showing. The best I can say about Denpoya is that he knows how to do sumo in very broad terms; beyond that he didn't show much here, especially considering his very respectable height/weight attributes. And Watai => Persistence Watch, if he stays at all - it's always a bit difficult to watch these kids who struggle just to engage at the tachiai at all. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
