Whos who in Shiko

[JAB]

What Rikishii has the best Shiko? Is there anyone who can get the leg just about vertical? I am looking for a good pic of one, does not matter who the Ozumo is.

Thanks

Try Katayama.

Now sadly in Makushita, so his incredible shiko can only be seen 7 times per basho.

Thank you. WOW! Impressive!

Yeah I really wish Katayama could've stayed up in the ranks longer.

Gets up there, then constant make-koshi's just not good.

Always an impressive sight to see.

Wondered what happened with him...whether it was more a strength issue,

(flexable but not forceful enough to accomplish much in bouts)

or just plain not really being ambitious in working on general skills?

Really hoped he hadn't make-,make-,make'd so much after getting to upper ranks.

Crowd always likes his shiko...

Oh, thanks.

Hokazan of Miyagino Beya isn't bad either - see the second picture down in Fay's Day 9 pictures from Kyushu here

Also Tanemaru from Minezaki Beya isn't bad at all.
