That sounds bad, i actually only saw a few bouts of him posted anywhere in this forum. I think they were before he entered ozumo. How are the chances of him learning some real techniques ? Or is his target to be the next Chiyoshoma :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mt fuji 976 Posted May 22, 2021 I noticed Hagiwara’s henka habit too! I don’t get it because he has the size to overpower most people in Sandanme and lower Makushita. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don‘t get why oyakata, coaches etc. don‘t intervene that in general, i mean everybody who‘s at least a bit into sumo knows that it is not highly regarded… Nontheless i‘ll still root for him and hope (even if chances are low) that he‘ll dodge that bad habit in the future and instead learns some nice yotsu skills from his oyakata ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katooshu 3,082 Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) He's tended to be much lighter than most opponents over the years, and I don't believe reached 100kg until his college days. Maybe gaining weight will help him feel more confident in his ability meeting opponents straight on. I also know he's had injury issues before, and that could play a role in his hesitancy to engage. I don't mind the odd henka, but he's crazy about them to the point where it's satisfying to see him lose when he tries it.

He certainly looks like he's gained weight. Naruto seerms to like quickness in his stable, and Hagiwara's got that; he does henka a lot (well, henkas seem to be rare below Makushita). When used judiciously it's an effective way to make sure your opponent is a little slower, at least at the tachiai.

Katooshu 3,082 Posted May 23, 2021 He henka'd just as much before joining Naruto - that he's continued this approach suggests to me that the oyakata doesn't mind it. He has some decent belt skills, particularly with throws, I just think he doesn't trusts his power meeting opponents head on. He certainly has gained weight: he entered college at under 100kg, put on another 20kg or so in college, and then another 10kg or so since turning pro, although122kg is still on the light side.

Tigerboy1966 1,374 Posted July 11, 2021 There's a strong chance that makushita could see a "Next Big Thing" showdown for the yusho with Hokuseiho squaring off against Ishizaki. Kitanowaka is also in the mix. Tomokaze v Sagatsukasa in sandanme should be good. I feel a bit sorry for the veteran: he gets off to a 4-0 start and then he gets matched against this chap. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
