Is that list for just when they were ozeki?
>>
>>258674
Yes, they were not in danger of going kadoban after they became Yokozuna. That list is all the rikishi that did not post a losing record while ranked at Ozeki between July 1969 and now.
>>
>>258670
Musashimaru was nuts. 5 years at Ozeki with no kadoban in the era of Akebono and the Hana brothers.

The plan of having two brothers and a random guy?
>>
>>258714
Kotakiyama ain't hitting salaried rank. Soma might touch juryo, Shunta's probably got the most potential of the 3 brothers. On a side note Takahara is good but I think he's advancing too fast for his growth, not that it's his fault or anything

nta but newly promoted ozeki and yokozuna are always listed at the bottom of those respective ranks. Kirishima will be O1e in July though.

24 wins in the next 2 basho and Atamin makes Ozeki.
>>
24 wins in the next 2 basho and Dan makes Yokozuna
>>
>>258824
I think if he someone does 12+ in May, they might give it to him right there. M4 is the absolute bottom of what they consider joi, but importantly he beat both yokozuna and faced one of the ozeki, and the only reason why he didn't face the other is because he was outperforming him in title contention. They'll think highly of that, even at M4.
>>
>>258827
The lowest I'm aware of is M3w but that was 37 wins, though that Sanyaku was one larger than it was when Atamin was so that M3w was more like M4e today. Idk man I can't see it. The discussion begins at 13Y.
>>
It wasn't just him being quirky. If you watched him in his matches, he literally penguin walked multiple rikishi out of the ring just like this. Atamin is fucking powerful.

Just heard the news about Dan. Sucks that he's injured but it at least explains why he was struggling so much this last Basho.

I like both Ura and Tobi (albeit, both on the losing end, especially Tobi) I noticed that fast pace sumo doesn't work so well further into the tourney, most of their opponents had em locked
>>
>>258866
Nah, they're just broken men. Ura has no knees and would rather do a flip than land on them and that's not a joke, and Tobi is getting on in the years now. He might not have any one stand out injury but he's hurting. Also his brother just went intai so I dunno man I don't think he has long left.
>>
>>258867
Tobizaru can rest with pride knowing that he personally ended the career of a Yokozuna.
>>

Thanks for this so much, diving deep here
>>
>>258865
Fat stacks! How much money do you think that is?
>>
>>258870
>>
>>258870
Each envelope is about $250 iirc.
>>
>>258870
>>258872
The actual amount in each envelope physically right now is only 10k yen ($63 right now) due to a scandal involving prize money embezzlement. But each envelope represents 60k yen ($378 each) with the remaining 50k being split between the wrestler's retirement account and bank account after tax deductions.
>>
>>258873
And you get the honour of knowing you helped promote the Hot Staff recruitment agency because they're half the fucking banners. I wish some rich fuck would dump like $20k into banners for his favourite beyaslop channel.
>>
>>258871
>Wow, with this I can afford a PS5 and one game!

I was bouncing around wiki and just reading about various rikishi and came across Kaio. Is he the most notorious Ozeki who never make it all the way to Yokozuna due to all the wins and time at that rank? Or was there another that people attach that to?
>>
No one will ever be as gloriously round.
I will never forget him tip toeing around the dohyo like a ballerina. Seeing him move so gracefully was always a sight to behold.
>>
>>258921
Yeah. Kaiō is probably the best ōzeki to never make it. Unfortunately, his career coincided with those of Takanohana, Musashimaru, and Asashōryū, as well as fellow great ōzeki Chiyotaikai. With those guys sucking up all the oxygen, he could never quite get over the hump. Then injuries started to pile up and he became one of those guys that spends a few years compiling one 8-7 after another. He didn’t even get a jun-yūshō in the last six or seven years of his career.

In 2004, though, he put together a 13-2Y 12-3JY that opened a lot of conversation about promoting him, especially since that was his fifth cup, but ultimately the YDC decided that the 12-3 wasn’t quite a yūshō equivalent and that was that.
>>
>>258921
Third highest in number of yusho or jun-yusho at ozeki, and the two above him are Musashimaru and Kisenosato, so yeah.
>>
>>258922
God I wish that were me (on the right)
>>
>>258841
It's similar toe injury nephew had, but danfags laughed at him going kyujo. Now that aonishiki has it, that's an alright excuse, lol.
>>
>>258921
Kaio won 5 yusho but Takakeisho won 4 in less time, so there's always gonna be debate. Kaio is next in line for Chairman and he's based.

Ozekis get demoted if they fail to get winning records (at least 8 wins per tournament) twice in a row. Kadoban is the state in which they've already gotten a losing record, and would face demotion if they repeat it.
>>
*if they fail twice in a row to get a winning record.
>>
>>259019
Hidenoumi has already proved himself capable of building a highly successful career in about a decade or so, you've only proved yourself capable of building a history of failure in a similar period of time.
>>
>>259029
Why ya gotta be so mean.
>>
>>
Consider this.
After a basho, a rikishi can notify the JSA that he chooses to give up one of his kinboshi in return for a guarantee to not be demoted in the resulting banzuke.
>>
>>259035
You would need to give up 55 kinboshi to block a demotion from juryo to makushita, 15 to block a demotion from maegashira to juryo, 20 to block a demotion from komusubi/sekiwake to maegashira, and 35 to block a demotion from ozeki to sekiwake. By comparison the most kinboshi in history is Akinoshima with only 16. Kinboshi are actually irrelevant.
>>
>>259035
No not a kinboshi per rank demoted, just a kinboshi to prevent dropping at all in the upcoming banzuke.

>>
>>
>>259049
I'm talking about how many kinboshi would equal the drop in salary. You need 15 kinboshi in order to equal the pay bonus from going from juryo to maegashira, therefore you would need to give up that many to prevent being sent from maegashira to juryo. Letting them avoid any form of demotion at all with just one kinboshi would be laughably idiotic.

Human metabolism is a crazy thing. Some people just can't put weight on even if they eat a lot, like Enho. Your body doesn't actually have to use the calories you eat, it can just let them pass through. I wonder if studies have been done on the caloric content of shit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Taih%C5%8D
>Taihō (大鳳; "Great Phoenix") was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Possessing heavy belt armor and featuring an armored flight deck (a first for any Japanese aircraft carrier), she represented a major departure from prior Japanese aircraft carrier design and was expected to not only survive multiple bomb, torpedo, or shell hits, but also continue fighting effectively afterwards.

>Built by Kawasaki at Kobe, she was laid down on 10 July 1941, launched almost two years later on 7 April 1943 and finally commissioned on 7 March 1944. She sank on 19 June 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea due to explosions resulting from design flaws and poor damage control after suffering a single torpedo hit from the American submarine USS Albacore.

I'm surprised Taiho used that shikona when the carrier was a bitch who died in one shot.
>>
>>259141
>and poor damage control
The Japanese carrier fleet was crippled at the Battle of Midway more so by the loss of human capital than by the loss of four carriers. The bushido code doesn't believe in the "escape and live to fight another day" meme so all the most experienced officers and men ended up going down with their vessels. So Taiho was manned by less than the best the IJN could've otherwise offered.

Nice, but the yokozuna had different kanji: 大鵬. Japanese has trillion homonyms; there are at least 5 other words read as taihou.

btw Taihou was never considered a foreign-born yokozuna, because at the time of his birth, southern Shakalin was a Japanese territory (Karafuto).
>>
>>259144
The difference between the meaning of the two kanji that I suspect their identical reading is on account of the Japanese not giving a fuck about the difference between a feng and a peng.
>>
>>259150
It's because those readings were brought to Japan during Japanese cultural exchange with the Tang dynasty, which predates the existence of the Mandarin dialect by around 300 years. The closest present day dialects are Min Chinese, although it's like trying to compare which dialect of Italian is closest to Imperial Latin.
>>
>>259151
The tldr is Japanese is a stupid language whose daytime TV shows have to have words plastered all over the screen to help viewers disambiguate their own native language. I'll call it stupid whenever I feel like and nothing you say will change my mind or make me feel like a fool for doing so.

In some stables they have no straw bale dohjos, why is that? Wouldn't it make more sense to have straw bales so the wrestlers are used to it?
>>
>>259164

>>
>>259171
You shouldn't be going backwards in the first place so shouldn't need to get used to it. Plus quite a few injuries happen at the tawara because it's an unusual thing to push against, and putting your legs in unusual positions then pushing really fucking hard is a great way to hurt yourself. Pretty sure Mita's ACL went when he tried resisting at it.

Not everyone is Wakamotoharu.
>>
>>259171
Dohyo without straw bales (tawara) are easier/faster to build and maintain. Tawara is packed with dirt/clay and is hard as a rock, falling onto it is quite painful. Also some wrestlers said they broke their toes when it got cought in the tawara. One wrestler (from Kise i believe) had open toe fracture when his toes got cought in the bales.

Dan literally ended his rope run last month by falling onto the tawara then having Churanoumi land on him.

I am a futagoy stan but takatoriki is still salty that for whatever reason (probably yakuza connections) he did not get booted for the gambling scandal takatoriki got exiled for. He has kept his nose clean since but he was in some shit back in his day.

He means that the ozeki run started at komusubi, which it did.

>>259204
Okay, but like... so?
>>
>>259203
>for whatever reason (probably yakuza connections) [Miyabiyama] did not get booted
Kinda the opposite, actually. Takatoriki's bookie was Yakuza and was betting millions with him. Also bear in mind Takatoriki was Otake oyakata at the time, yet he was borrowing money from active Ozeki Kotomitsuki just to keep afloat.
>>
>>259164
>His wins cheered louder than those of most in the top divisions
>In response he gave those kind-hearted fans...
Kind-hearted fans lmfao, only faggots and women screaming and pissing themselves virtue signalling over muh current thing. Where are the cheers now? Crickets. Fuck em.
Shishi for life.
>>
>>259207
Owing the yakuza millions of yen doesn’t mean you are in good with them. Takatoriki seems like an annoying shithead who knew a bunch of yakuza but wasn’t well liked. On the other than futagoy was caught up in the gambling dragnet but let off with a wrist slap. If you watch takatorikis video where he releases the Trannytame dick pic he goes on about how it’s unfair that he was booted for gambling while miyabiyama was allowed to stay in sumo and start a stable.

QRD me on Nabatame, since Ive only caught glimpses of the whole situation from these threads. From what I'm getting he was just sexting some tranny (consensually) and some butthurt ex-JSA elder running a shitty youtube channel exposed it?

No one accused him of having done this. He's showa brained in a lot of the bad ways but there haven't been any scandals involving violence or bullying at his stable at least.
>>
>>259137
Other thing is it obviously takes a heavier person more calories to maintain that weight, so if you're 200 kilos and start eating like a normal sized person then the weight will start falling off very quickly. You don't even need to be exercising unless you want to spare muscle mass.

You need someone who will be around for a long time who understands the ins and outs of being an assistant and how to do rudimentary tasks like fill the fridge with food. Once the junior guys advance they aren't going to want to teach the new people to do this. Luckily, all you need to do is recruit a Koga and after he learns how to cut an onion in 4 years he can spend the next 20 years teaching everyone else how to cut an onion, and the real talent won't be wasted
>>
>>259325
True, but in terms of cooking specifically that heya is fucked. I've been watching since their youtube started and even the guys who are considered good at chanko have barely improved over the last three years. Miyabiyama will be long dead by the time koga learns enough to teach cooking.
>>
Tempted to filter Koga because at this point it's just shitposters posting shit.
>>
>>259328
Koga doesn't have to learn cooking, there are already future designated cooks like Denuma and Kotakiyama who will become Kokuryunami in the end. Koga is just a kitchen help on camera, who the fuck knows what else is he doing around the heya. I bet Futagoyama sends him to do errands like post office etc.
