Yubinhaad 11,590 Posted May 3 Yamazaki's shikona will be Okaryu (大花竜, おおかりゅう). The shikona of the Takekuma-beya Mongolian recruit looks like 豪聖山, perhaps read as Goseizan. The Hanaregoma-beya recruit is 18-year-old Yukihiro Endo (遠藤 孝大) from Tokyo's Bunkyo ward. 188cm, 104kg. No sumo experience, instead his hobbies have been fishing, basketball and cooking. The Futagoyama-beya recruit is so far known only as Kikuchi, seen here outside the heya. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the trainee did join for this basho after all, for Tagonoura-beya, 15-year-old Kimura Yunosuke (木村 裕之助) from Shikokuchuo, Ehime prefecture. Maybe he's just nervous but he doesn't strike me as someone who will stick at it for long, but we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 18,959 Posted May 20 (edited) Everything relevant has already been posted, but I might as well add to the permanent record. Day 3 Results: Mz1 Kikuchi (0-1) Mz5 Musubiyama (1-0) Mz3 Igarashi (1-0) Mz6 Yamada (0-1) Mz4 Miyazaki (1-0) Mz7 Kotomotomura (0-1) Standings: Mz3 Igarashi Sakaigawa 1-0 E | Mz1 Kikuchi Futagoyama 0-1 E Mz4 Miyazaki Sakaigawa 1-0 E | Mz2 Miyafuji Isegahama 0-0-1 W Mz5 Musubiyama Hanaregoma 1-0 W | Mz6 Yamada Nishonoseki 0-1 W Mz7 Kotomotomura Sadogatake 0-1 E Day 4 Isegahama's Miyafuji joined the competition. Results: Mz1 Kikuchi (0-2) Mz2 Miyafuji (1-0-1) Mz7 Kotomotomura (1-1) Mz6 Yamada (0-2) Mz3 Igarashi (2-0) Mz5 Musubiyama (1-1) Mz4 Miyazaki (2-0) Mz2 Miyafuji (1-1-1) Rather unusual that the extra match was given to Miyafuji here, as it normally goes to somebody who lost earlier in the session, but just as well considering his absence the day before. Standings: Mz3 Igarashi Sakaigawa 2-0 E | Mz2 Miyafuji Isegahama 1-1-1 W | Mz1 Kikuchi Futagoyama 0-2 E Mz4 Miyazaki Sakaigawa 2-0 E | Mz5 Musubiyama Hanaregoma 1-1 W | Mz6 Yamada Nishonoseki 0-2 W Mz7 Kotomotomura Sadogatake 1-1 E Day 5 Results: Mz5 Musubiyama (1-2) Mz2 Miyafuji (2-1-1) Mz1 Kikuchi (0-3) Mz3 Igarashi (3-0) Mz4 Miyazaki (3-0) Mz6 Yamada (0-3) Mz7 Kotomotomura (2-1) Mz5 Musubiyama (1-3) Standings: 3-win target achieved #1 Mz3 Igarashi Sakaigawa 3-0 #2 Mz4 Miyazaki Sakaigawa 3-0 Still active Mz2 Miyafuji Isegahama 2-1-1 W | Mz5 Musubiyama Hanaregoma 1-3 W | Mz1 Kikuchi Futagoyama 0-3 E Mz7 Kotomotomura Sadogatake 2-1 E Mz6 Yamada Nishonoseki 0-3 W Day 6 Results: Mz1 Kikuchi (1-3) Mz6 Yamada (0-4) Mz7 Kotomotomura (2-2) Mz2 Miyafuji (3-1-1) Mz1 Kikuchi (1-4) Mz5 Musubiyama (2-3) Mz7 Kotomotomura (3-2) Mz5 Musubiyama (2-4) Pretty smart scheduling here with the winner of the 0-win bout essentially getting promoted into the opponent slot for sole 1-win guy Musubiyama, and the winner of that getting to play off against the loser of the 2-win bout for another full qualification. Standings: 3-win target achieved #1 Mz3 Igarashi Sakaigawa 3-0 #2 Mz4 Miyazaki Sakaigawa 3-0 #3 Mz2 Miyafuji Isegahama 3-1-1 #4 Mz7 Kotomotomura Sadogatake 3-2 Remaining order #5 Mz5 Musubiyama Hanaregoma 2-4 #6 Mz1 Kikuchi Futagoyama 1-4 #7 Mz6 Yamada Nishonoseki 0-4 The ichiban shusse: His three matches weren't the sternest of tests, but Igarashi looked pretty natural to me for somebody with "only" judo experience. Good basic forward movement, no attempts to toss his opponents around just because he could. His heyamate Miyazaki is what you'd expect from a back of the line club member at a big university programme like Nichidai's. I'm positive that his desire to be in makushita within a year will be fulfilled, getting to sekitori quickly I'm not so sure about. Miyafuji looked a bit unpolished and more of a long-term project, but there's definitely some talent there, and if there's one place we shouldn't bet against developing nascent talent, it's Isegahama-beya. Musubiyama surprised me in a good way, given his apparently complete lack of any combat sports background. Assuming he's not actually going to quit sumo within the first year, I wouldn't be shocked if he turns out the best of the so far four recruits that Hanaregoma-oyakata has collected since his takeover of the stable. Kotomotomura, well, I guess we'll all have to wait and see how far his body can actually take him in professional sumo. All in all a pretty good round of maezumo, even the two least successful guys Kikuchi and Yamada showed a lot of fighting spirit. Kikuchi deserves the benefit of the doubt as the only other middle schooler besides Kotomotomura here. Yamada doesn't look like he'll be around for long, but maybe we'll be surprised.

Akinomaki 40,037 Posted June 4 About new gyoji Kimura Yunosuke - debut in maezumo on day 3 and on the jonokuchi dohyo on day 7 o Same heya juryo gyoji Kimura Takao showed him the kokugikan, his gyoji supervisor is makuuchi gyoji Kimura Yonosuke (Hakkaku) o A koenkai member introduced him to Tagonoura, "I thought gyoji is fine and joined". He joined in February, for Haru he still had no voice at all for a call. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
