A new recruit from Mongolia

[Jonosuke 28]

One of the five new recruits starting Mae-zumo this basho is from Mongolia. Apparently

his father is a Sekiwake with Mongolian sumo and a friend of Asashoryu's father. He is 183 cm tall and weighs 83 kg and since he came to Japan in May, he gained 10 kg.

He is with Shikoroyama Beya and has a shikona of 青狼(Seirou) meaning Blue Wolf.

The English NSK site lists him as Amuga, real name Amgaa Unubold. You can se the details here

I assume this is the guy Jonosuke meant

Thanks Naganoyama,

Amgaa was one of my favorie wrestlers. Let's see what his son inherited from him. His shikona is japanese version of his fathers name, hm... strange

No, not strange. At this stage the NSK page usually hasn't entered shikona for any of the new deshi. They follow later. The japanese page has "Amugaa" in Katakana which will NOT be his shikona. As reported, his shikona will be Seirō.

Could this Amgaa be him? (Laughing...)

Nice joke... So how is the new recruit doing in mae-zumo?

BTW, how could I check the mae-zumo scores?

this lad was personally visited (in Mongolia) by Terao who apparently promised Asashoryu he'd get a foreign chap at some point in the future.

Saw him filmed during asageiko whooping some of the other boys very convincingly at their Nagoya place and also saw him (IIRC) going out at Nagoya in kesho reading 'Terao'.

Was picking up Nihongo darned fast too as he stirred the chanko.

Seiro lost to Azusayumi, a returnee in Mae-zumo but won the other three bouts.

The Kyokai no longer considers Mae-zumo records to be official so they do not list them. However they are listed in Japanese Sumo magazine.

Hopefully I can post them on some form soon.

Wow. Talking about me. Maybe this Amgaa is me. (Dohyo-iri...)

Interesting. One of Asashoryu's brother's fighting names is "Blue Wolf". But, of course, this is not him.
