Kaminariyuki 519 Posted February 19 I'm in, and sumojoann, too, if she hasn't responded. We can't lose our ozeki! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to Kinbozan, I am a Tsunatori this basho. I have been so lucky in this game. Prior to Kinbozan, I drew Chiyoshoma of whom I didn’t expect much, but he did amazingly well. And Kinbozan was on fire. So happy for them. Good luck to everyone for the March basho. May you all get good draws! Maybe a yokozuna run by sumojoann? Gambatte kudasai!

Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 Right, let's start the draw.... First, randomise the Mae-zumo entrants.... Monikashiki Martamami Sakura (Yes, I know it is the same order as above - but that can happen with a random list generator, and if anything, proves that this is truly a random list!)

Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 Monikashiki (mz) receives jk12E Wakasasaki. The 16 year old is at a career high - and has won exactly one bout in his first five bashos of Ozumo.... Eeek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 Martamami (mz) has jk17W Uchiumi. It is a shin-zumo basho for both Martamami and Uchiumi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 Sakura (mz) restarts the game from mae-zumo with jk4W Chiyooume. At 39 years of age, Chiyooume is one of the oldest rikishi still competing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 That ends the draw for Mae-zumo for now. But, as usual, any other new/returning player who would like to throw in their salt, and join the game - just sign up below. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J5W Meletyoshi has been awarded.... K1W Abi. Abi remains in sanyaku, despite an MK last basho. A reasonable pick to start the sekitori draw? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J6E Marakizumi has drawn J14W Kusano. Shin-juryo Kusano has never had an MK in his Ozumo career, thus far.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J1E Katooshu gets M7W Tamawashi. Tamawashi turned 40 last basho - getting a KK to further his celebrations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J4W Shiroiokami will be counting on.... O1E Onosato. Possibly a great draw? Onosato has never had an MK - and he is already an Ozeki! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J6W Kachikoshi receiveth M17W Shirokuma. This will be Shirokuma's second visit to Makunouchi. He went kyujo during his first visit.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J5E Kaba will battle with J5E Nabatame. Nabatame is Kaba's 'twin rank'! Nabatame won for 10 days in-a-row last basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J3W Athenayama will be keeping his fingers crossed for.... J4E Shiden. Shiden is in his early 30s, but has yet to join Makunouchi. Maybe after this basho? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J2E Spytoneryu has drawn M1E Wakatakakage. As a joi-jin / sanyaku regular, I think Wakatakakage is a good draw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J8E Djodjoyoshi takes M14W Churanoumi. Churanoumi has had back-to-back 4-11 records. Eek! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J8W Tsunamiko has been granted M13W Shishi. The Ukrainian won the Juryo yusho in January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 (edited) J9E Daiouika getteth M10W Shonannoumi. Shonnanoumi has now been ranked in Makunouchi for ten bashos - and his best record was on his debut. Edited February 26 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,479 Posted February 25 J1W Habibtiko will be championed by M11W Meisei. It's now over two years since Meisei was last ranked in the sanyaku. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
