Stupidface Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Just been rewatching An Idiot Abroad and finally reached the Mount Fuji episode. It was originally aired in 2011 and I didn't follow sumo back then however I've been trying to think who this rikishi could be. It's a very funny episode and the rikishi in question is very playful but also very gentle at the same time. I was thinking maybe Tamawashi but as I've only been following sumo for about 6 months I probably have got the rikishi and his identity incorrect???

Thank you so much, you have no idea how happy that has made me, I've been trying to improve on my knowledge and as soon as I saw the episode I said Tamawashi! He was very silly picking the guy up and throwing him around. I love seeing their cheeky personalities. I am now a big fan of his!

Have you watched Kintamaya's videos on youtube? If you don't have, go here https://www.youtube.com/user/Kintamayama/videos scroll down to Hatsu basho 2019, it will make you happy. 1

Nattosumo originally got me interested and now I watch the whole stream online when it's live. It's addictive and any old video recommendations are greatly appreciated! :)

Enough material for some serious sumo binging. Now that he is slowly transitioning into retirement, Natto is a worthy successor. 2

sumojoann Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Here's a video showing Tamawashi's Jan 2019 Yusho ceremony. It starts at 1:50. During his Championship interview, it was announced that his wife gave birth that same day to their second child!! 1

I have come across Kintamayama's channel before however it seems that he is indeed almost retired. Thankfully there are other people ready to help us watch sumo in other parts of world. I don't know what I would do without it now!
