The Wall 2013

[yorikiried by fate]

Honorary mention goes to Musashimaru for 60 KK in his first 61 basho. The sole MK (2-5) came at Ms11w in his sixth basho. Basho 62 was a 2-2-11 at Y1e.

[Tsubame]

Thanks for the info...

[sashimaru]

By the way, what was the longest KK-streak by a rikishi starting from the very bottom?

I don't know how to query that, but Kotooshu comes to mind who had his first MK at Komusubi in his 14th basho.

Yes, that wretched guy used to be really good.

No, he was only different. He had always new opponents. So no one could adjust to his style.

As komusubi his opponents knew him and were able to adapt.

[Senkoho]

And that MK constituted no less than a half of all his career MK (not counting kyujos).

[VictorDiVarca]

This guy had 18 KK before his first MK.

:)

This guy will be always my #1

[yorikiried by fate]

Sure, but he seems to always have dropped out after Day 10 of every basho.

[Kaioshoryu]

I might have misunderstood this topic, but what about Sasanoyama: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=11972

He hasn't had a MK yet as far as I can see, just a kyujo.

[Ashikawazu]

I am pretty sure Kyujo officially counts as an MK, as it leads to a reduction in rank.. So Sasanoyama wasn't included.

[Ashikawazu]

Nagoya is halfway through:

In Juryo, both Osunaarashi and Endo doing well, both on their way to another KK.

For the non-sekatori, Ishiura still remains undefeated, and picked up his KK, and Onosho likewise off to a good start at Nagoya, both staying away from the wall at least till the Aki basho. In Jonidan everything looks standard; 2 kk's and 2 mk's after 4 bouts...

Final wrap up:

Endo had a big basho, taking out the Juryo Yusho, and his 3rd consecutive KK. Osunaarashi also had a good first performance as a sekitori, posting a very respectable 10-5 and extending his KK streak to 8.

Our long term member Hamaguchi, when kyujo halfway through, and finally hit the wall at Nagoya. Hopefully he recovers and rallies for Aki.

Others worth mentioning:

In Sandame, Ishiura and Onosho continued their strong performances, and thier KK streaks. While Kaiho and Baraki both hit the wall at Nagoya.

In Jonidan, wall member Daishoho took the Jonidan Yusho.

[krindel]

If Hamaguchi went kyujo for the rest of the basho, then that's about it for his streak :-(

[Asashosakari]

I might have misunderstood this topic, but what about Sasanoyama: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=11972

He hasn't had a MK yet as far as I can see, just a kyujo.

Looks like Sasanoyama's first for-real MK might be coming up this basho, he's 1-3 right now.

Another ongoing case like that is Fukushima, BTW.

[aderechelsea]

i think that Sasanoyama will at least get to the 3-3 mark quite easily after all.

His opponents are definitely in his range after the 0-3 start (he wasn't as bad as the record indicates) and a small KK is in reach. I would actually bet on his KK even after the horrible start.

and for the record .... i am with Kaioshoryu on this one. An absence from a basho does not count as "hitting the wall". A fighting MK on the other hand most definitely is. Rikishi that never had a real MK should be included in the list. At least they should be mentioned in a different list.

same goes for Fukushima. Or anyone that never lost more than he won in a basho when he actually was entered in the torikumi

[aderechelsea]

well ... Sasanoyama went MK after all .... (Sigh...) (In jonokuchi...)

but i still believe that rikishi that only had absences and never a fighting MK they should be in this list. At least with a "*" next to their name...

[Ashikawazu]

The reason I don't add them for kyujo MK's, is it just becomes ambiguous then.

Take for example Hamaguchi. Would you consider him to still be on the list next basho? What if he had won his first three and then went absent? What if he lost his first three and then went absent? Does one situation warrant an avoidance of the wall more than the ohter? Most definitely..

It just gets messy, and you have to draw the line somewhere.

Anyway.. both those guys have hit the wall this basho.. so issue resolved itself for now.. (Sigh...)

Edited July 17, 2013 by Ashikawazu

[aderechelsea]

for the record i only meant we could include rikishi that missed a whole basho (0-0-7) or had only one fusen-pai on day 1 and were absent for the rest of the basho (0-1-6)

in general. If you never get in the dohyo in a basho i don't consider it a real MK.

but i guess i can keep my own stats for this situations. B-)

[Vikanohara]

What has happened to this guy after he met the wall ?

[Jakusotsu]

He hit the wall. Again. And Again. And Again.

[Vikanohara]

Which probably made him angry again and again.

[Ashikawazu]

Aki after day 15:

Wrap up:

Osunaarashi keeping up with his strong performances, another good KK and hence he'll Join Endo in the top division next basho.

Endo performed well, got his KK, but an injury in the later stages of the basho prevented him from double digits. Hope he'll recover for the November basho.

Other rikishi to watch:

Ishiura: Although faced a bit tougher competition in Makushita division, still had a solid performance of 5-2 for his 4th KK, and a career record of 25-3.

Horikiri: Took the Jonidan Yusho.

Koba: Three very solid performances, Aki gave him another 6-1, for a carreer record so far of 18-3.

See you at Kyusho!

Updates for Aki above. :)

[Ashikawazu]

Kyushu 2013 Line up:

Should be a good one. Can't remember the last time we had 2 wall members in Makuuchi! (Anybody? :))

Update.

We lost both of our Makuuchi members, with both Osunaarshi and Endo hitting the wall. We have now 4 members at the top with a 5 basho streak, Ishiura looking most impressive.

Sorry guys, have been a bit behind with the last two basho, see Kyushu above, and Hatsu below. Cheers!

Isiura, Onosho, and Fukuyamato (previously known as Kimishima), have all increased their streaks to 6 consecutive KK's.

3 members hit the wall this basho: Kotoseigo, Takei, and Kakehashi.

And Horikiri gets special mention for picking up the Sandame Yusho. Congrats mate!
