Bishonohana

Great pictures!! Thank you for sharing!!

Well, one way or the other, I hope he will do what is right for him. I have been his fan for many, many years and would hate to see him intai, but he knows what is best. I will be surprised if he doesn't annouce his intai at his interview on the 7th. Wahhhhh !!!!

Yes, we'll have to wait and see...

You can also add me to the BAD PARENT list.... wahhhh! At least they all got KK! Ms19e - Sotairyu -4/3 Ms52w - Shironoryu 6/1 Jd32e - Tsubsaumi 5/2

It took me a minute (or two) to know what you meant by O3! DUH! I hope O3 will show that he can do well at this level (and higher). I've been his fan for a while and adopted him when he was just starting!

First I was crushed by the marriage news, then elated that it was post-poned (by the April Fools joke) and now to find out that he is REALLY married.... wahhhhh Oh well.... I hope they will be happy!

Great find!! I love them all!

Maybe I'm just a simple thinking sumo fan that doesn't want to accept the fact there is Yaocho in sumo... I take it as I see it. Perhaps there is and perhaps not. :-S If there is, we can't prove it anyway, unless there is a confession, so what's the point?? . I have to DITTO to Asashoakari. (Sign of approval...)

I don't ever remember a yusho interview utilizing an interpreter... (Laughing...) I guess he'll learn Japanese in due time, huh? Apparently, sumo is more important than learning Japanese for the moment. Looks like he's done well in that, (Applauding...) so he'll need to focus on the language a bit. Aran hasn't been in Japan that long, has he? Maybe Nishinoshima-san can give him lessons... (Applauding...)

It really, really does. You saw it correctly! No Shukunsho was given out...

(Applauding...) Hakuho "henka'd the henka-ee!!!!" (Laughing...) If you looked down for a second, you would have missed the match! (First prize...) It was poetic justice at it's best ... (Applauding...) Can't wait for all the "talk" at the YDC!! (Applauding...)

Hakuho may not win the Yusho this time, but I do believe that he will be the next Yokozuna in the next year or so to come. Unless some other great rikishi comes out of the blue, Hakuho is the next in line...

I would say that's very UNLIKELY to happen... Why on earth would they do that?? (other than what was stated) Why would Asa take another loss for Chiyo so he can get KK?? What's in it for Hakuho to let Kotooshu win another bout? Osh already has a KK. What you said doesn't make sense to me, Mr 8 Ball...

There is a reason why Asa = Lord of the Ring... (Second prize...) In my heart of hearts, I will be cheering for Hakuho to Yusho (Holiday feeling...) , but I'm afraid that Asa will win the Yusho even after losing the first two days. Showing us all that's why he is the LONE YOKOZUNA!! (Hugging...)

Here are my guesses - Tochiozan- Shukun sho Homasho - Kanto sho Tamanoshima - Ginosho

I think poor Futenoh will bare the Asa Fury tomorrow.... (Eek...) (Laughing...) Or maybe the Yokozuna will lose again tomorrow?? :-/ NOT!! (Laughing...) (Eh?)

If yours is like mine, you have to do it in the Setup. Go to where it says "Language" and do Other Language, then it will go back to Japanese. Mine is setup to Japanese, but I get it in English. If I want it in Japanese, I have to go to Other Language. Seems kind of reverse, but that's how mine is setup. (Eh?) I'm sure you're completely confused now! (Laughing...) (Laughing...)

Boy, am I dumb!!! (Blinking...) I had to keep looking at the Homasho smiley and wondering (Whistling...) why he looks like a horse.... I was thinking he should be doing a great reigi (bowing). WEll, DUH!!! (An idea...) HO-UMA-SHOU !!! Now I got it! :-) (Clapping wildly...) (Eh?) You guys are soooo clever!!! (Laughing...)

Thanks for the report! Guess I'll be making some changes in my picks for the Sumo Games... ;-)

:-P You guys are awesome!!!! :-) Thank you for helping with the identification!! :-S

I hope I have this in the correct Topic area. (all the others gave me an error message) My friend just had an opportunity to visit Japan and took some pictures with these Rikishis and of them, while in Ryogoku. I can only recognize one... Tochinohana. :-O Can you help us in trying to identify some or all of these great guys that are in the pictures?? I know there are a lot of membets on this Forum that are very knowledgeable about the lower ranking rikishi. (Clown...) I hope you can help in identify them. Thank you in advance!! I know this is Tochinohana on the bike! (Pulling hair...)

I'm cheering for Tochiozan since I've been following him for a while... (STALKER??? (Laughing...) :-| :-/ ) I hope he will win the Juryo Yusho! (I am not worthy...)

I'm sorry, Verena... :-| You sound so depressed! Sometimes, it's best not to even know ANY Japanese, huh? :-/ It's not worth getting upset over those people that are rude like that. (I am not worthy...) I hope it will be better for you tomorrow! ;-) Thank you for your time in doing us all a favor by puttig the videos/pictures on the forum! (Laughing...)

Too bad.. Would have wanted to see if he fights as well as he directs. (Protesting...) (Applauding...) Too fuuny!! I was wondering the same thing!!! (Applauding...) ;-)

As always, great pix, Fay!! (In jonokuchi...) Thanks for sharing them with us! ;-)
