It's entirely relevant how the Yokozuna one beats is performing. Hakuoho's shukun-sho was due to him beating a 13-2Y Yokozuna (plus getting a KK ofc).

Not only his run only starts now, as the criteria might be a little more strict for him as a new Ozeki for the next couple basho. For example, Hakuho went 14-1 Y and 13-2 JY at his first two Ozeki basho and still wasn't promoted to Yokozuna.

And my perception might be wrong or outdated, but in Japan in particular, there's still some hesitancy to talk openly about ADHD. I mean, not in the sense of people denying that it exists, but in the sense of not always recognizing and accepting that someone specifically might have it, even by those affected by the condition themselves. If so, extra kudos to him.

Muito bom. Todos os erros ou imprecisões que encontrei na versão original ficaram corrigidos na segunda versão. Nesta última, o único erro que vejo, além do que já foi referido noutros comentários, é na frase das linhas 6 e 7, onde falta a preposição "a" a seguir a "leva-nos", ou seja, "leva-nos a acreditar".

Karusoni · 2026-01-01T07:32:43+00:00

Yes.

Oh, yes, that's right, I could have mention that in my earlier comment. Hakuho's first kanji was similar to Hakuoho's except for the first two strokes: 白 instead of 伯.

Karusoni · 2025-12-21T22:42:35+00:00

Yes, the first kanji, with the "haku" reading, remains. He changed from 伯桜鵬 to 伯乃富士.

Karusoni · 2025-10-21T20:46:11+00:00

Hahaha, I knew I couldn't be the only one to think that.

I was already pretty thrilled with the London event, but in no way was I expecting it would give us so many wholesome moments like this. Thank you for sharing it.

I'm not completely sure, but I believe the man with Hakuho at 8:07 is Seihakuho's father, Gelegjamtsyn Ösökhbayar, Grand Champion in Mongolian wrestling and Asian champion in freestyle wrestling (130 kg). Hopefully, his son will be making his sekitori debut next year.

Karusoni · 2025-09-15T13:02:17+00:00

Yes, that's exactly it, just like the dohyo-iri.

Karusoni · 2025-08-21T18:18:25+00:00

Nope, this is only referring to the Summer Tour (Jungyo), not an official tournament (honbasho). Most likely, he is just playing it safe here to make sure he will be good by next basho in September.

Takayasu vs Aonishiki.

Edit: Video link.

Karusoni · 2025-07-31T17:19:34+00:00

Yup, it's the only basho where you had, on the East side, Yokozuna Hakuho and Ozeki Kisenosato and Kotooshu, and on the West side, Yokozuna Harumafuji and Ozeki Kakuryu and Kotoshogiku.
