The legendary iron man #Tamawashi scored his #kachikoshi and #kinboshi tonight as he defeated #Yokozuna Onosato in a fantastic #sumo match. This is why Tamawashi is my spirit animal.

It’s been an historic week for Japan’s national sport, with Onosato’s rapid rise to yokozuna forcing major revisions to sumo’s record books. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/05/28/sumo/onosato-rise-to-yokozuna/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #onosato #wajima #hoshoryu #summergrandsumotournament

Onosato is certain to become sumo's next yokozuna after he notched his 13th consecutive win at the Summer Basho on Friday, clinching the Emperor’s Cup. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/05/23/sumo/basho-reports/onosato-basho-win-yokozuna-promotion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #bashoreports #onosato #summergrandsumotournament

Sumo is at its best when there are multiple yokozuna battling for titles. That could soon be the case again if Onosato has his way. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/05/21/sumo/sumo-golden-age-onosato/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #onosato #summergrandsumotournament #hoshoryu

The Summer Basho may only be a few days old, but a handful of title contenders — a group that includes Onosato — is already beginning to emerge. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/05/14/sumo/onosato-oho-summer-basho/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #onosato #oho #summergrandsumotournament

One of sumo’s most reliable truisms is that “results in training mean nothing.” Which means it would be wise for fans of Hoshoryu to not get carried away with the yokozuna's results in training ahead of the May Basho. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/05/09/sumo/sumo-may-basho-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #hoshoryu #onosato #kotozakura #summergrandsumotournament #aonishiki #hakuoho

The Mongolian-born yokozuna heads into the final weekend of the 15-day tournament at Ryogoku Kokugikan with the outright lead at 12-1. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/26/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-beats-asanomaya-basho/?utm_content=buffer419ec&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama #kiribayama

The lone yokozuna finished Day 12 at Ryogoku Kokugikan alone on the top rung of the leaderboard at 11-1. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/25/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-takes-sole-lead/?utm_content=bufferc5835&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Competing in the top flight for the first time since May 2021 due to a lengthy suspension for violating coronavirus rules, Asanoyama handed fellow title challenger and No. 6 maegashira Meisei his third loss. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/24/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day-11-asanoyama/?utm_content=bufferca112&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Lone yokozuna Terunofuji and former ozeki Asanoyama moved into a two-way tie for the lead on Day 10 of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, where a pair of talented newcomers also caused big upsets. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/23/sumo/basho-reports/2023-summer-grand-sumo-tournament-day-10/?utm_content=buffer689f6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Kotoshoho initially succeeded in keeping Terunofuji off his belt, but the yokozuna maintained his forward momentum to push out the rank-and-filer. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/21/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day8-terunofuji-kotoshoho/?utm_content=buffer90a64&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #kotoshoho

Yokozuna Terunofuji and former ozeki Asanoyama, each making a kind of comeback at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, continued to look unbeatable Saturday as each improved to 7-0. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/20/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-asanoyama-dominance-continues/?utm_content=buffer59c2c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Terunofuji, a seven-time Emperor's Cup winner, has so far dispelled concerns about his health at the 15-day meet. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/18/sumo/basho-reports/yokozuna-terunofuji-remains-unbeaten/?utm_content=bufferb2a13&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #takakeisho

Terunofuji, who missed all of the last three tournaments following knee surgeries in October, was cautious in dispatching tricky No. 3 maegashira Tobizaru. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/17/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day4/?utm_content=buffer0ffa3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama

Terunofuji briefly grabbed Endo by the right arm and spun the No. 2 maegashira around before following it up with an attack toward the edge of the raised ring in a push-out win at Ryogoku Kokugikan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/16/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-2023-day3/?utm_content=bufferd38a5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #endo #terunofuji #kiribayama

Returning from a prolonged injury layoff at the 15-day tournament, Terunofuji stayed perfect by brushing aside No. 1 maegashira Abi. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/15/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-remains-perfect-sumo/?utm_content=buffer4d2d5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #takakeisho

Terunofuji could not halt the opening charge of komusubi Shodai, but the grand champion had enough leeway to execute a right beltless arm throw near the edge of the raised ring at Ryogoku Kokugikan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/14/sumo/basho-reports/summer-basho-day1-terunofuji-kiribayama/?utm_content=buffer47466&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #kiribayama

The Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, which gets underway this Sunday, sees yokozuna Terunofuji return to honbasho action after an absence of almost eight months. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/12/sumo/basho-reports/terunofuji-summer-sumo-basho/?utm_content=bufferdd21a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #bashoreports #summergrandsumotournament #terunofuji #asanoyama #hokuseiho #kiribayama

The Summer Basho will see sumo media granted pre-pandemic levels of access to most wrestlers, ending three years of restrictions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/03/sumo/media-returns-kokugikan/?utm_content=buffer465f8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #sumo #media #summergrandsumotournament #japansumoassociation #ryogokukokugikan #banzuke

Mongolian-born Kiribayama was placed top among the four sekiwake in the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament rankings. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/05/01/sumo/kiribayama-bid-for-ozeki/?utm_content=bufferaa9ee&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sports #sumo #summergrandsumotournament #asanoyama #kiribayama
