Chinonofuji Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 So Takamisakari went back to his old style of glasses?
Yoavoshimaru Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 (edited) I think he switches back and forth regularly... Is there any text on the little metal plaques surrounding the bottom part of the Emperor's Cup? Names of winners, perhaps? Edited January 29, 2004 by Yoavoshimaru
Mark Buckton Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I think he switches back and forth regularly...Is there any text on the little metal plaques surrounding the bottom part of the Emperor's Cup? Names of winners, perhaps? Loads of little plaques. Forgot to read them last time I was up close but guess it could be winners. ANR
Guest m@ru Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 thanks for the great thread & this from me & this
Kotoseiya Yuichi Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 304 kilograms for Mr. Yarborough, wasn't it? :-)
Takanorappa Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 304 kilograms for Mr. Yarborough, wasn't it? :-) He seemed all of that. I met Mr. Yarborough (hey, I wouldn't call him anything but Mr.) at the 2000 Blackships festival in Newport,RI. He certainly rivaled Konishiki in size. (Konishiki was there, too).
Yoavoshimaru Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Whoa :-) (Applauding...) (Laughing...)
Kintamayama Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Nice picture of rikishi arrival at Seoul airport..
Manekineko Posted February 13, 2004 Author Posted February 13, 2004 Who's the guy with the tie in lower right?
Manekineko Posted February 13, 2004 Author Posted February 13, 2004 If he is, he's grown new hair. (Laughing...) Hmm, even the legthy 3 minute study of oyakata gallery yields no possible alternative. (Applauding...)
Kotoseiya Yuichi Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 The oyakata gallery has fallen behind times a bit. One of those things in my Ma

Zuikakuyama Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) I dont even know who is the guy in blue behind Asashoryu. (Dancing of joy...) Oh, and dont underestimate the power of hair transplants. (Applauding...) (Laughing...) Edited February 13, 2004 by Zuikakuyama
Takanorappa Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Oh, and dont underestimate the power of hair transplants. (Applauding...) (Laughing...) Speaking of hair. you don't suppose that's Asashoryu's tokoyama right behind him (in the beige coat)? (Dancing of joy...) His mage is looking quite proper for just comning off a plane.
Manekineko Posted February 18, 2004 Author Posted February 18, 2004 Since I decided to convince some sceptics on Croatian forum that sumo wrestlers are not just masses of lard but real sportsmen, I uploaded several pictures that speak louder than words... Taka in action... it was during his year-long absence, tho'. Nami doing the splits. Terao pumping those thigh-muscles. :-) Azuma embracing a sandbag (and judging by his faraway look, dreaming of someone else. :-) ) That's it!
Fujisan Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Quote time for picture with number 9 on it- "Okay very funny but when I find out who put glue on the posts they are in big trouble." Great pictures again!

Zuikakuyama Posted February 19, 2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Someone upload a pic of Kakizoe immediately prior to his bouts, please. The stretchers he does during the walkups to the bouts are just simply amazing for a man of his size. ;-)
aderechelsea Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 (Kewl pics! ) (Kewl pics! ) (Kewl pics! ) You guys made me stay in front of my computer for 3 hours browsing in this thread THIS IS GREAT STUFF !!!!!!!!! :-D (Sign of approval) i loved all the pics but i have just one request.......... :-D i want a few more Kaiho pics if it is possible......... i'll go grab a beer now to get a grip of myself and rest my eyes.... (Eating...) :-)
Kotoseiya Yuichi Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 (edited) As promised elsewhere here are ten images of yokozuna Kagamisato who sadly deceased yesterday. He was easily recognizable for his Buddha-like belly. Unryu-gata as with most yokozuna. Hatsu Basho 1953 and the first yusho for ozeki Kagamisato. The yokozuna promotion follows and the first tsuna is made in Tokitsukaze-beya. Dohyo-iri images. Danpatsu-shiki in 1958. Interviewed in 1991. Take note of the statue behind him. Edit: Grammatical error. Edited March 3, 2004 by Kotoseiya Yuichi
Yoavoshimaru Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 Great pics, appropriate timing -- thanks (Laughing...)
Kotoseiya Yuichi Posted March 3, 2004 Posted March 3, 2004 I searched for some danpatsu-shiki images for Wajima, Kitanoumi & Takamiyama but couldn't find them. (Laughing...) However, I found few images of Wajima's and Kitanoumi's rivalry. As you undoubtedly know before every Tokyo basho the yusho-gaku are introduced with the winners of the two last yusho. Here's one such occasion with Wajima (left) and Kitanoumi (right). yusho-gaku, about 350 cm tall pictures of yusho winners; hung on the ceiling of Kokugikan; paid by Mainichi Shimbun newspaper and coloured over black and white photos by an elderly lady; after being in Kokugikan for six years they are given to the respective rikishi; prior to every honbasho held at Kokugikan two yusho-gaku depicting latest honbasho winners are revealed Another image of the rare sandan-gamae ceremony I've been hoping for years someone would tell me more about. Anyone? sandan-gamae, rare ceremony perfomed on especially dignified occasions (such as the opening ceremony in the new Kokugikan) by two highest ranked rikishi and one gyoji
ilovesumo Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) Ahm,can anyone please post a few pics of HAKUHO???? Please!!!!!!! :-P Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited March 25, 2004 by ilovesumo
Guest Mojo Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 So many pages! So many photos! (Bouncing group) (Bouncing group) (Bleh!)
