Jakusotsu 6,050 Posted December 18, 2024 Lots of promise after getting KK in his Komusubi debut at just 21 years old, but never been able to fulfill. Seven years later his body takes its toll apparently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yohcun 401 Posted December 18, 2024 Never seemed quite the same after his knee injury, and the decline/retirement of the old Onomatsu oyakata. He was one of this next big things when I first started watching, getting three consecutive 10-5s from his Makuuchi debut. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaninoyama 1,818 Posted December 18, 2024 Every year, like clockwork, when Onosho climbed the dohyo during the broadcast, my 90-year-old Japanese great-aunt-in-law would ask me: "How do you read his name?" Feels like injuries robbed him of a better career than he ultimately had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kaninoyama 1,818 Posted December 21, 2024 (edited) Doesn't look like it's been mentioned that he plans to join a skin care company post-sumo, as he has dealt with skin issues in the past, and has a goal of eventually striking out on his own in business.

Katooshu 3,335 Posted March 30 (edited) "the town mayor and the Sugaru sumo jinku club performed an Onosato support jinku" I wonder how Onosho felt at his retirement party when they started singing songs for Onosato - I get that Onosato is popular, but that seems a bit much Edited March 31 by Katooshu 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrGrumpyGills 134 Posted April 1 Sake has 15 - 20 % ABV, which is a bit more than wine. I wouldn't call that "very" light... 7 x 1,8 l is a huge amount to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I could've maybe managed one bottle, but I've been properly arseholed and thoroughly regretting it the next day. 6.3l of that stuff (assuming they managed half each) is, frankly, beyond belief. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
