Chanko Thief 67 Posted May 9, 2020 Greetings All, I have been a fan of the forum for a couple of years now as a guest but haven’t had the time to join and post until now. But I am happy to be a part of the SF community now and look forward to getting to know you all and hearing how you came to enjoy this sport that we all love so much. I have nobody in my life who shares my passion for sumo (though my wife tries to watch somewhat enthusiastically with me) so I can’t wait to have people to discuss it with. Kaio made me a fan of ozumo back in about 2011 and I have been hooked ever since. While I obviously enjoy watching current sumo, I am fascinated by sumo’s rich history and love studying the sekitori of the past and most of my favorites are from long before I started watching sumo. My other interests include boxing, strongman, and all things Jurassic Park. Can’t wait to get to know you all throughout the years but if you have any questions for/about me, feel free to ask. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katsunorifuji 65 Posted May 12, 2020 Welcome to the forum from a fellow newcomer and American. I hear you on the lack of sumo appreciation from others, America is like the sumo desert and it’s hard to find anyone to discuss it with. I appreciate the thought provoking posts you’ve made on the forum especially since we won’t have sumo discussion posts til July. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mt fuji 976 Posted May 19, 2020 Hey I live in Seattle too! I've only been watching for a couple of years but getting really into Fantasy Sumo and some games. Wish we could meet up to watch together but that's probably not a good idea right now... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We should definitely watch a basho together sometime after Covid settles down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
