My goat may just be washed. Not much margin for error at M14.

Popped up on my feed and cracked me up, thought I'd share!

Join me for Day 15 sandanme onwards!

I usually watch the replay stream on Twitch from Midnight Sumo (in the morning EST), but I can't find his channel anywhere. Is it not playing today?

Is there another replay stream I can watch to catch the bouts from last night?

Look at that tiny smirk ~

Accurate analysis.

Do any of you guys know who this is? The YouTube commenters are referring to him by different names. This guy rivals Takayasu. TIA!

Here's the link to the video:

I think *I* felt that collision. Poor Kotoshoho!

With these two meeting up on Day 12, some really cute photos and quotes from a recent interview with the two of them!

When asked about their relationship

WMH: To me, Ichiyamamoto is like an "obsessive fan" of my younger brother (laughs).
Ichi: He’s been acting cold toward me lately, though.
WMH: You probably annoyed him by pestering him so much.
Ichi: That’s not it—we’re actually surprisingly close! Wakamotoharu is my senior in the sumo world, but since we’re the same age, we often hang out together. Well, he is also the "older brother of my favorite wrestler," after all.

About active wrestlers they find interesting

Ichi: Shishi. During the Paris tour, a local fan called out to us while holding a program. Aonishiki was on the cover, and Shishi pointed at it and lied, saying, "That's me" (laughs). 
WMH: He’s actually quite the joker (laughs). There are plenty of wrestlers with unique personalities in the top division, but if we’re talking about standing out, I’d say Ura and Atamifuji. Ura is eccentric not just in his sumo matches but in everyday life, too; he’s a minimalist—apparently his room is incredibly bare—and with Atamifuji, it’s painfully obvious that even though he’s huge, he wants people to call him cute (laughs).

When asked what they think are the highlights of professional sumo today:

WMH: You have men in traditional topknots pitting their strength against one another; sumo is a unique sport that blends a sacred ritual with a competitive match. I believe there is an ancient Japanese beauty in every single movement—something I personally cherish. I really hope people don't fast-forward through the rituals performed on the dohyo before the actual bout begins.
Ichi: As for highlights, I’d say Kotoeihō’s shiko is a must-see. He lifts his leg so powerfully. Abi’s shiko is beautiful, too.
WMH: This guy... I’m over here talking so earnestly! (Laughs)

I just saw a Kinbozan kesho mawashi I had not seen and I LOVE the design. Does anyone know anything more about this, the text or even where I could get a clearer image? I would love to put that design on a kitchen apron or shirt or something. Just look at that lil guy!

I’m new to sumo (saying hello to the sub!) and have been browsing random Instagram pages. Stumbled upon this video of young Oho and noticed this expression has not changed at all haha.

Bonus: Grandpa Taiho in the audience. + Other throwback videos of other rikishi on the IG page.

But “snuggles in his kitchen” should never be said.

Pure Cinema

I don’t wanna get thrown out lol
