Fluffyyama's introduction

[Guest Fluffyyama]

I was in Japan in 1983-1985 and was able to attend a number of basho.

Welcome to Sumoforum.net! (Thumbs up...)

I find it especially refreshing to get more women as members here. Hopefully you'll enjoy our little (but ever so slowly growing) community. (Laughing...)

You're welcome, Fluffyyama! (Laughing...)

Welcome aboard, Fluffyyama-zeki !

I am a great fan of "small man" sumo

This is the reverse, for me, I'm focused on heavy-weights wrestlers like Konishiki, Musashimaru, Akebono, Gokenzan, Towanoyama, etc..

Though wrestlers like Chiyonofuji and Asashoryu are absolutely fantastic and I love them too !!!  8-O

So!  Fluffyyama is a fellow Floridian!  A rather rare thing, it seems, the Floridian sumo fan (and -game player! )  :)

I have been playing with the idea of contacting all us Florida fans and forming a consolidated Heya, Hinata-beya (Hinata = Sunshine, as in Sunshine State)...  How about it? :)

Cheers!

HI Fluffyyama,I always thought Kitao alias Futahaguro

was kicked out cos he didnt win a single Yusho,even before becoming Yokozuna,isnt he the only Yokozuna to fail to win a single one?

Yes, he is the only Yokozuna never to have won a Yusho. But that's not what he got kicked out for. It was, as Fluffy-zeki stated, for a confrontation with his Oyakata, though I can't remember if it was the Oyakata himself or the Oyakata's wife that he hit. But it was something along those lines. He was given the boot by the Kyokai shortly afterward for dishonorable conduct.

Yes thanks Zentoryu,mine was an assumption based on his poor record and I only know that from what I read on the Nikkon official sumo site.

What a great alias!
