Sekitori Sweepstake - May 2024

[Jejima]

S2E Takanorappa is relying on J4E Tohakuryu.
Tokakuryu has spent 95% of his 20-basho, sekitori career in the Juryo division.

[Jejima]

M8W Benihana's champion is J13W Chiyomaru.

The Big Baby! Chiyomaru is a fan favourite in my household....

But the last time he got more than 8 wins was back in March 2021.

[Jejima]

S1W Karasukurai needs a little something from O1E Hoshoryu.

Hoshoryu should certainly supply a little something in normal circumstances.

[Jejima]

My oldest son, M3E Baku, will make do with M7E Nishikigi.

Nishikigi has an 11-day losing streak last basho! Yowzers.

[Jejima]

M4E sumojoann will be swotting up on M1E Atamifuji.

The young Turk has had double digit KKs in 40% of his Makunouchi bashos to date.

[Jejima]

M12W Suwihuto will try his best with O1W Kotozakura.

The former 'Kotonowaka' has had four double digit KKs in his last five outings. A decent pick, methinks.

[Jejima]

M16W Athenayama gets M16E Tomokaze.

The last time Tomokaze managed a KK in Makunouchi was in July 2019.

[Jejima]

M2E TheGunbaiHolder will be represented by M12W Nishikifuji.

Nishikifuji has had double digit MKs in 50% of the bashos in the past year. Eek.

[Jejima]

M16E Kaiowaka will hope the best from M2W Gonoyama.

Gonoyama has only had 3 MKs in his whole Ozumo career!

[Jejima]

M18E Getayukata will be relying on M15W Roga.

Roga remains at his career highest rank - but has never had KK's in Makunouchi.

[Jakusotsu]

The suspense is killing me...

[Jejima]

M4W Kaito will be putting his hopes on J7W Shimazuumi.

Shimazuumi was kyujo last basho.

[Jejima]

M13W Fashiriteta is granted M11W Hokutofuji.

Surely Hokutofuji can manage a KK at this level?

[Jejima]

O1W Yarimotsu will want some good sumo from M10E Shonannoumi.

This basho will complete a year of Makunouchi action for Shonannoumi.

[Jejima]

S1E chishafuwaku needs something special from M13E Mitoryu.

Mitoryu won the Juryo yusho last basho. Will his fine form continue in Makunouchi?

[Jejima]

M1E Wamahada gets M4E Oho.

Oho picked up his first ever kinboshi last basho. Not sure if he will get the chance for another this basho....

[Jejima]

M6E Holleshoryu receives J5E Kagayaki.

Kagayaki has had only 2 KKs in his past eight outings.

[Jejima]

O1E Tetsuba receives J5W Kitanowaka.

Kitanowaka has achieved KKs in his last five times fighting in Juryo.

[Jejima]

M11W Oshirokita may have M13W Churanoumi.

It's Churanoumi's third basho in-a-row ranked at M13...  Not his lucky rank?

[Jejima]

M6W lilfox will want something from J9E Chiyosakae.

Chiyosakae has never progressed past the bottom half of Juryo.

[Jejima]

My wonderful wife M15E Fujiko will need to rely on J3E Endo.

Endo's last three results have all been 5-10.

[Jejima]

M5W Reonito's hopes are pinned on J9W Tamashoho.

Tamashoho kept his J9W rank, despite a 6-9 record! Who does he know?

[Jejima]

M9W Sumo Spiffy takes M4W Ura.

Ura is Sumo Forum's favourite sekitori as of February 2024.

[Jejima]

M1W RaeucherLax will be looking to M7W Mitakeumi.

Mitakeumi was an Ozeki less than two years ago.

[Jejima]

M3W Joaoiyama has been given J7E Shishi.

Shishi has alternated KKs and MKs over the past four bashos. If the pattern continues, that would suggest an MK for May.
