Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 M1W RaeucherLax (M2W, 8-4-3) needs a boost from M8E Kotoeko. Kotoeko has 7-8 or 8-7 records in his last five bashos - the last three have all been 8-7 though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 M8E Chiyotasuke (J1E, 11-4)'s rikishi will be J8W Chiyosakae. These two have similar shikona (not quite anagrams). Chiyosakae's usual Juryo record seems to be 8-7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 M11W Seiyashi (M18W, 8-7) will be rooting for M9 Hakuoho. Hakuoho might be considered a dark horse contender for the yusho? So, I am sure Seiyashi will be content with his draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) M10E Hakuhonofan (M9,E 6-9) has drawn M14W Kotoshoho. Kotoshoho has had 7 MKs in his past 8 bashos... So, fingers crossed for Hakuhonofan that Kotoshoho finds his mojo. Edited August 28, 2023 by Jejima 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 M3E Joaoiyama (M4E, 8-7) needs outside assistance from M11E Mitakeumi. Surely at this rank, former Ozeki Mitakeumi is good for a KK? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 O2E Kaba (S1W, 11-4) is going to be finding out about M6E Onosho. Oh dear, I fear that shin-Ozeki (and my youngest son) Kaba might end up being kadoban for November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,314 Posted August 28, 2023 That completes the draw for active players. Late entries from the following will still be accepted:-@Gaijingai Gaijingai, @Rocks Gansekiiwa, @Terarno Terarno. There are some decent rikishi left in the pool, including all three Ozekis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#1HENKAFAN 40 Posted August 28, 2023 4 hours ago, Jejima said: M8W #1HENKAFAN (M13E, 8-7) has been allocated M13W Nishikifuji. When Nishikifuji is ranked this low in Makunouchi, he has always got a double digit record. Nishikifuji is a better wrestler than where he is ranked on paper but with his injury issues I'm not too pleased to see he's the one I drew. High risk, but high Reward at least if it works out. 3 hours ago, Jejima said: M13E Karasukurai (M9W, 3-12) will want a better showing (than what he got last basho) from J1E Roga. The Mongolian/Russian (which is it? Ulaanbaator is definitely in Mongolia - I went there several years ago... but Sumo Reference has both mentioned, and the Nihon Kyokai site has him down as Russian...) has been steadily making his way up at Juryo, without any MKs. At J1E, he can only move up to Makunouchi, should he get another KK. Roga was originally billed as from Mongolia by the kyokai but once he turned 18 Roga requested that his shusshin be changed to Russia. I don't remember why that is but it has something to do with Japanese law that he had the same nationality as his legal guardian or something idk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoshotakamoto 256 Posted August 28, 2023 9 hours ago, Jejima said: M10W Hoshotakamoto (M8E, 5-10) will want a boost from M7E Takayasu. Takayasu started last basho well, with 5 wins - before 7 losses in-a-row. He has kept his M7E rank, so let's see how the former Ozeki does this time! soon to be sekiwake hoshotakamoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atamifuji won the Juryo yusho in May - but had double digit losses on his one previous sojourn to Makunouchi.

Oshoma won the Juryo yusho last November, but has been rather vanilla since then. I already had Oshoma last basho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
