asa_love Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I like asasekiryu very much. but I can never find much information on him or nice photos of him!!! (ok i know he isn't exactly the best wrestler out there...specially not for a mongolian) Can you all please donate pix of him on this thread thanks!
Otokonoyama Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 He's gone 13-2 once, and 12-3 once in makuuchi, taking two jun-yusho along the way. Not too shabby...
Fay Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 More than enough pics in my Rikishi galleries, the link to Asasekiryu is Asasekiryu
Naganoyama Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 He also isn't exactly the worst wrestler out there. Even when he isn't putting together stellar results, he can usually be relied on to produce good, workmanlike sumo.
Asashosakari Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 He also isn't exactly the worst wrestler out there. Even when he isn't putting together stellar results, he can usually be relied on to produce good, workmanlike sumo. Or as I've seen it put somewhere before: He's already looked like a grizzled makuuchi veteran for years now, and he's still only 27...
Beisaikyou Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 At the last Kyushu Basho, there was a whole class of adorable little schoolkids with an "Asasekiryu Ganbare!" banner the day I was there. They were ecstatically cheering him on. Too bad he lost that match. :( I wish I'd gotten a picture of them!
Shomishuu Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 Hi, Been waiting 3+ years for someone to ask... (Neener, neener...). Asasekiryu in Vegas, 2005 - Enjoy:
asa_love Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 awww!!! um.. is that you in black? and wow i didnt know asasexyryu had a school kid fanbase
Johnofuji Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Â I had the privilege of being invited to have chanko with him after asageiko during the Kyushu basho. I can thank one of the high priestesses in the church of sumotology (Barbaryutaikai) for arranging it. Now I can cross that off my list of 101 things to do before I go the big dohyo in the sky. She is so well connected she even got asked over to the bath tub to chat with him. Luckily there was a strategically placed rubber ducky. I was very impressed when he sent back one of the dishes that was served to him because it was too oily.I forget the name of the Takasago deshi who served it but he is always kyujo and seems more interested in the kitchen than the dohyo.It was good to witness first hand just how healthy the rikishi are-contrary to the opinion of the uneducated stereotype mongers.He didn't over eat and everything on the menu was extremely healthy. Mind you he said he wasn't feeling too crash hot that basho but I'm sure he would gobble a bit more after a heavy keiko session. He was happy to accept some Tim Tams originally destined for the AWOL yokozuna so sweet things are not entirely off the diet. I think he is a little under rated in terms of popularity and has to live in the almighty shadow of Asashoryu but I don't think that bothers him.He could easily step up to more responsibility but whats the point with such an uninspiring stablemaster who just sits there reading the paper in sloppy tracky daks (track pants). Undoubtedly he benefits from having such a formidable training partner. He can be a real giant killer on occasions but he seems too nice to maintain the aggression needed to give him more consistent results. Physically I have always wondered why he can Edited November 25, 2016 by Johnofuji remove photo
Mark Buckton Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) saw him win over 40 straight bouts in keiko one day! None against another sekitori but 40!! Kids today,.......... Jono - why do you look like JG's long lost cousin? Ancestors crims I guess? Edited January 27, 2009 by Mark Buckton
Fay Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Jono - why do you look like JG's long lost cousin? Ancestors crims I guess? Judging by your sniping posts the last few days at all and sundry I'm guessing it's your time of the month? Unfortunately his time of the month lasts and lasts and lasts .......

Washuyama Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I think he is a little under rated in terms of popularity and has to live in the almighty shadow of Asashoryu but I don't think that bothers him. Although he sure didn't appreciate it last year when the gyoji accidentally called him Asashoryu...
Shomishuu Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Hi,Been waiting 3+ years for someone to ask... (Nodding yes...). Asasekiryu in Vegas, 2005 - Enjoy: awww!!! um.. is that you in black? and wow i didnt know asasexyryu had a school kid fanbase Well, no it's not me (not having had the 'operation.' (Whistling...)) Actually, I think I know the identity of the lady - a growed adult...didn't know her at the time but think I met her two years hence. But isn't it interesting how being starstruck can take years off your life. Edited January 27, 2009 by Shomishuu
