Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 J3E Tetsuba gets J4W Roga The Russian (or is he Mongolian?) is at his career highest rank... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 J2E #1HENKAFAN gets J6W Shimazuumi That's another rikishi at his highest career rank. All Sekitori rikishi are in the draw - it is just a coincidence that the two Juryo players have both drawn Juryo players so far.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 J1W WAKATAKE receives M5W Kotoshoho Kotoshoho went 6-9 at M5E last basho. Will this slight demotion help him this basho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 J1E Chiyotasuke will have J7W Churanoumi It's been 5 years since his Juryo debut - will he ever reach Makunouchi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 J2W Oshirokita gets YOE Terunofuji!!!! Maybe Oshirokita gets the best pick in Juryo? Or will Terunofuji get injured, and pull out early? It could go either way.... Maybe a great score - or a terrible one. If Terunofuji is not on the day 1 torikumi, Oshirokita will be given a different rikishi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M15W Gaijingai will have.... S2W Wakamotoharu The Sekiwake has had only one MK in the previous ten bashos.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M14W Wamahada will be represented by M11E Hokuseiho. The Hokkaido giant will be at his career highest rank - but I think a likely KK from him, so maybe a good draw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M11E Ryoshishikunin gets M14E Asanoyama! Perhaps one of the rikishi we all wanted? The former Ozeki is storming back up the banzuke since his fall from grace and forced absence from Ozumo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M9E Suwihuto will have M7E Hokutofuji Hokutofuji is on a 3 basho 7-8 streak... But surely he has enough at this rank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M14E Bunbukuchagama will have M7W Tamawashi This veteran won the yusho less than a year ago.... but best not to recall his form in March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M2W Jejima gets.... J2E Azumaryu Good grief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 K1W Kaito will have.... K2E Shodai We will be promoting (at least, but more likely, exactly) two players to Ozeki after this tournament. Kaito is one of the players in the running. But which Shodai will turn up this basho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M16E Kimyama has been awarded J14E Tokihayate It's a shin-sekitori basho for Tokihayate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M13W sahaven111 will be represented by M2W Endo It's been 2 years since Endo was ranked so high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M1W Takanorappa will have.... M16W Oho Takanorappa is a dark horse for Ozeki promotion. I personally think that Oho should do well at this level - but he didn't last basho.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M19W Seiyashi receives J6E Hakuyozan Hakuyozan got 9-6 in the last two bashos. I think Seiyashi would be happy if it becomes a three-peat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 S1W chishafuwaku will have M17E Kagayaki Yikes! Will Kagayaki have enough to get chishafuwaku to the rank of Ozeki? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M3E Holleshoryu gets J1W Shonannoumi He's yet to have a losing record in Juryo. Does a place in the sanyaku await Holleshoryu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M15E Hoshotakamoto has drawn O1W Takakeisho What is the latest on the Ozeki? Will he back on the dohyo this basho? This is one of those picks (similar to Terunofuji) that has the potential of being a great pick, a terrible pick - or possibly a redraw once the shonichi torikumi is known.

Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M19E Hakuhonofan will take M13W Ichinojo!!! Will this popular pick skyrocket Hakuhonofan up the banzuke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M10W Meletyoshi has been given M16E Mitoryu It will be Mitoryu's third successive basho in Makunouchi. I'm expecting mediocrity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M7E Flohryu has S1E Kiribayama!!!!! A great pick, perhaps? (Peter - AKA Baku - is not so sure. After winning a tournament, the rikishi usually perform badly, he muses...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M4E lilfox has drawn J8E Atamifuji Atamifuji is one of the youngest sekitori - but has yet to make much of an impression in the paid ranks... But might be a possible ride for lilfox into the expanding sanyaku? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,345 Posted May 1, 2023 M7W Ganzohnesushi will have M6E Meisei His past two bashos have been disappointing double digit MKs.... Eek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
