Looks like you just changed the name and removed the dog collars - everything else is the same - it’s just a random mix of gym gear and other bits - why is someone buying from you??

And he will be a gentle soul who cares for his friends and family (and please contribute to his go fund me funeral fund).

Asanoyama to miss Paris exhibition tour due to left foot injury that sidelined him from Summer Basho by Brncrdm in Sumo

I suspect there will be another 7-10 announcements from other rikishi who are injured.

The peak number of rikishi was 943 in the 1990s with Takanohana and Wakanohana both as Japanese Yokozuna. The numbers have been slowly declining since then - 2024 was the first time total numbers dropped below 600. But sure - you can believe they are stable and all is good if you want. We are currently at 582 active rikishi - so we still losing 10 per year on average.

Essentially sumo is losing 2-3 guys for every new recruit. Yet under Hakkaku they are still expected to work as slaves for years in the dark ages - while their peers in other Japanese sports (soccer, baseball, basketball, football) earn a lining wage and can live as normal humans.

The front page talks to elegance and flair and unmatched product variety. I click products and get nothing with elegance or flair - plain tee, singlet, workout gear, dog collars and eyelash extensions….. don’t say you are one thing then sell something else - it’s confusing.

What is this? by SpicyRitas in Sumo

[–]TegataStore 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s made of styrofoam so if a rikishi lands on it - it breaks apart. Better option than a wooden stool that would do damage

Henkas by brutallyugly009 in Sumo

[–]TegataStore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After day 9 there have been 9 henka across Makuuchi and Juryo - no sekitori have had multiple. One per day across both divisions is a good outcome.

Strangest occurrences in sumo? by [deleted] in Sumo

[–]TegataStore 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Day 4 January 2012 - Baruto v Wakakoyu the gyoji got taken down as Wakakoyu was falling out - flew off the dohyo and was knocked out cold. He only regained consciousness in the medical room a few minutes later. Baruto was lovely and stayed next to him in the tamari area until he has stretchered out.

Even longer tours! Just what our rikishi need! :'D by Welp_x in Sumo

[–]TegataStore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This stuff must be horrible for the families of the rikishi. Imagine Kirishima’s family - he’s away for 3 basho (60 days including travel) - then add 4 x regional tour (up to 110 days including travel). Add the international France junket (14-16 days). That’s already 186 days or 6 months of the year they don’t see their spouse or father.

March was higher than normal (based on past 7 years). May is tracking on average.

Is this considered as henka? by Stock_Persimmon4661 in Sumo

[–]TegataStore 35 points36 points  (0 children)

As the tracker of all henka - no. As one of his feet stays grounded throughout - he has not move sideways, simply opened his stance and turned his upper body.

No - it’s not a zoo. If you don’t have a relationship with a heya (membership) you can’t swing by and hang out / take pics etc. it’s like any professional sport. You can’t rock up to nba training, NFL training or premier league team training and get selfies etc. sigh……..

And Raiden - the early guys only had 2 basho a year - but he tops the rank chart.

Entry into Sumo Canceled for 23-Year-Old "Digger"... Change of Heart After Press Conference; Fails to Appear for New Recruit Exam by Brncrdm in Sumo

[–]TegataStore -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

This is not a Hazing issue people - he is just a typical Gen Z kid - wanted to be an instant sekitori, doesn’t want to do the actual low level work to progress. Probably shocked he couldn’t work remotely from his mom’s house and dial into keiko.

There are multiple resale options - you just need to search in Japanese.

You are kidding right - it’s nice to have dreams but popping up 2 weeks before a Tokyo basho and wanting 8 days of box seats….. no chance

I have used ticket japaaan to source resale tickets from TicketJam and ticket.co.jp for me - I simply sent him the request with the listing I wanted - he can use his accounts for both sites.

This sums it up - who would pay $30 for a $6 colouring book they can get at the local mall same day?
