Akinomaki Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Shigeo Kanamori (or Kanemori) (17, 170cm, 130kg) from Hiryu high school (with a quite strong sumo club) in Numazu city is to enter Irumagawa-beya. The high school sumo club has several training camps each year at Irumagawa-beya, former maegashira Sagatsuka(166cm) is from the same school. Kanamori started doing sumo in his 2nd primary school year and was 3rd and 5th with the team at the koukou-soutai the last two years. He will start keiko in the heya on January 2nd, aiming for yokozuna. The shindeshi-kensa is on the 6th. http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASGD35GRPGD3UTPB008.html with the oyakata Edited December 21, 2014 by Akinomaki 4

Yubinhaad Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 The three Irumagawa-beya recruits, Omoto, Kurosawa and Kanamori. It's one of the smaller heya and we don't often hear much about it, so it's great to see them getting three newcomers. Kurosawa being measured during the examinations. 4
Asojima Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Any background info on Kurosawa? He appears to have some occidental traits. 1
Akinomaki Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 Matsushima (22, 177cm, 145kg, from the Osaka area, for Hakkaku-beya) has no sumo-experience. He was security guard in Osaka and was scouted by the manager of Hakkaku-beya - "Since I entered I want to become yokozuna." Saito (21, from Tochigi pref., for Michinoku-beya) was a company employee for a maker of dairy products "I want to do a work where I'm in front of people." Iwasaki (22, vice-team-captain of the Nichi-dai sumo-club, for Oitekaze-beya) is the younger brother of juryo 11 Hidenoumi (Kise-beya). He didn't follow his brother but Endo, whom he admires. http://www.daily.co.jp/sumo/2015/01/07/0007638554.shtml Kaishi Nawa, Saitama-Sakae high 3rd year, has become a member of Sadogatake-beya - he is the first from that sumo stronghold to enter this heya. He was 3rd with the Saitama team at this year's gambaramba Kokutai sumo juniors.Nawa (18) measured 176cm, 138kg. 3
Gurowake Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Have there been any previous instances where brothers or other close relatives that were active at the same time did not belong to the same heya? I have read of a rule specifically stating that such cannot meet in regular matches, but in all cases I was aware of they were in the same heya anyway.
Jakusotsu Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Roho and Hakurozan for obvious reasons... And there's Kitazakura and Toyozakura, and plenty of others, I guess. 1
Raishu Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Have there been any previous instances where brothers or other close relatives that were active at the same time did not belong to the same heya? Despite Jakusotsu's examples, these two guys fit your description: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=11923 http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=12052 2

Asashosakari Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Maezumo Day 3, the "what's your name again?" edition: Mz1 Hishofuji (0-1) Mz2 Omoto (1-0) Mz5 Kotonawa (1-0) Mz3 Kurosawa (0-1) Mz6 Iwasaki (1-0) Mz4 Kanamori (0-1) Mz7 Ushiki (0-1) Mz8 Kameoka (1-0) Mz9 Saito (1-0) Mz10 Kurikomayama(?) (0-1) Mz11 Matsushima (0-1) Mz12 Maruyama (1-0) The kid with the strange shikona is Shibatayama's Sato. Edited January 13, 2015 by Asashosakari 6
Jakusotsu Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Kurikomayama(?)Are you sure it isn't Kumbayamalord? 2
Yubinhaad Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 The kid with the strange shikona is Shibatayama's Sato. From Miyagi prefecture, where there is a mountain called Kurikomayama (栗駒山). 2
Doitsuyama Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Forget the strange shikona, better concentrate on Omoto beating ex-juryo Hishofuji. Granted, Hishofuji seems still hurt and may plan to heal while having a few meaningless bouts mostly against pushovers every other month, but still it was a nice bout for the start of mae-zumo.
Asashosakari Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Maezumo Day 4, where certain names continue to confound: Mz1 Hishofuji (1-1) Mz3 Kurosawa (0-2) Mz7 Ushiki (0-2) Mz4 Kanamori (1-1) Mz11 Matsushima (1-1) Mz10 Kurikomayama (0-2) Mz5 Kotonawa (1-1) Mz2 Omoto (2-0) Mz6 Iwasaki (2-0) Mz8 Kameoka (1-1) Mz9 Saito (1-1) Mz12 Maruyama (2-0) No extra bouts on the second day this basho, so no qualified rikishi until the next round. 4
Asashosakari Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Everybody learned their lines this time - Day 5: Mz7 Ushiki (0-3) Mz3 Kurosawa (1-2) Mz6 Iwasaki (2-1) Mz2 Omoto (3-0) Mz12 Maruyama (3-0) Mz10 Kurikomayama (0-3) Mz1 Hishofuji (2-1) Mz4 Kanamori (1-2) Mz5 Kotonawa (2-1) Mz8 Kameoka (1-2) Mz9 Saito (2-1) Mz11 Matsushima (1-2) 3 days, 3 Irumagawa opponents for Hishofuji. One of them is done now as Omoto had a pretty nice victory over college-experienced Iwasaki for his third win. Maruyama got an easier call against winless Kurikomayama and achieved the qualification record as well. There are enough rikishi left that they can probably draw this out for another two rounds, but maybe they'll already finish up in a few minutes. 4
Asashosakari Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Day 6: Mz1 Hishofuji (3-1) Mz6 Iwasaki (2-2) Mz5 Kotonawa (3-1) Mz9 Saito (2-2) Mz7 Ushiki (1-3) Mz10 Kurikomayama (0-4) Mz8 Kameoka (1-3) Mz3 Kurosawa (2-2) Mz11 Matsushima (1-3) Mz4 Kanamori (2-2) Mz6 Iwasaki (3-2) Mz9 Saito (2-3) Should be one more day for the seven rikishi remaining. 4
Asashosakari Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Day 7: Mz10 Kurikomayama (0-5) Mz3 Kurosawa (3-2) Mz9 Saito (2-4) Mz4 Kanamori (3-2) Mz7 Ushiki (1-4) Mz8 Kameoka (2-3) Mz9 Saito (3-4) Mz11 Matsushima (1-4) Two repeated matchups on the final day with Ushiki-Kameoka (from Day 3) and Saito-Matsushima (from Day 5), both with the same winner again. Final standings: #01 Mz2 Omoto Irumagawa 3-0 #02 Mz12 Maruyama Sakaigawa 3-0 #03 Mz1 Hishofuji Azumazeki 3-1 #04 Mz5 Kotonawa Sadogatake 3-1 #05 Mz6 Iwasaki Oitekaze 3-2 #06 Mz3 Kurosawa Irumagawa 3-2 #07 Mz4 Kanamori Irumagawa 3-2 #08 Mz9 Saito Michinoku 3-4 --- #09 Mz8 Kameoka Chiganoura 2-3 #10 Mz11 Matsushima Hakkaku 1-4 (won on Day 4) #11 Mz7 Ushiki Shikihide 1-4 (won on Day 6) #12 Mz10 Kurikomayama Shibatayama 0-5 Edited January 17, 2015 by Asashosakari 4
