#takakeisho — Public Fediverse posts

While Onosato may be the main story in sumo right now, he is far from the only one as the sport bids farewell to a trio of former stars, including Takakeisho. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/25/sumo/onosato-overshadows-retiring-wrestlers/ #sumo #takakeisho #aoiyama #myogiryu #onosato

With the mercury still hitting 35 C in Tokyo, temperatures in the capital have mirrored the heat being generated inside Ryogoku Kokugikan, with some top-notch bouts and a bit of controversy making for an eventful opening. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/09/11/sumo/autumn-basho-hot-start/ #sumo #autumngrandsumotournament #onosato #kotozakura #takakeisho

Top-division debutant Takerufuji maintained the outright lead Sunday at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament with an impressive victory over former komusubi Ryuden. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/03/17/sumo/basho-reports/spring-sumo-tournament-results/ #sumo #bashoreports #springgrandsumotournament #takerufuji #takakeisho

In #sumo, #Terunofuji won his 9th championship. He'll probably drop out of the next few tournaments and come back to win the Aki Basho.
After seeing the last two days, I doubt #Kirishima will ever make it to yokozuna. He'll be like a #Takakeisho, just healthier. That's not a bad thing. But yokozuna? No.
Congratulations to #Kotonowaka on his promotion to ozeki. He is definitely yokozuna material. I see Koto and #Hoshoryu being the next big yokozuna rivalry, with maybe #Onosato joining them.

Ozeki Takakeisho withdrew from the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament on Wednesday after exacerbating a neck injury that will require around two weeks to heal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/01/17/sumo/takakeisho-withdraws-new-year-meet/?utm_content=bufferf4dd1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #takakeisho #newyeargrandsumotournament

A day after taking down yokozuna Terunofuji, Wakamotoharu bounced back from a weak opening to drive ozeki Takakeisho from the ring to his first defeat at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/01/16/sumo/basho-reports/wakamotoharu-beats-takakeisho/?utm_content=buffer6a8b4&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #sumo #wakamotoharu #takakeisho

The first Grand Sumo Tournament of 2024, which gets underway Sunday, could hasten significant change at the top of the sport, with Kirishima eyeing promotion to yokozuna and major questions surrounding Terunofuji. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/01/12/sumo/new-year-basho-preview/?utm_content=buffer1f37b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #newyeargrandsumotournament #kirishima #terunofuji #takakeisho

For sumo, 2023 was a year that started out with genuine concerns over a lackluster lineup of talent at the top of the rankings, but one that finished on a high and set up enticing possibilities for 2024. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/12/06/sumo/sumo-finishes-stormy-2023/?utm_content=buffer5041b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #kirishima #takakeisho #hoshoryu

Sekiwake Kotonowaka remained among the leaders after the 11th day of the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament with a win over Takakeisho on Wednesday that seriously damaged the ozeki's hopes of promotion to sumo's highest rank of yokozuna. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/11/22/sumo/kotonowaka-tops-takakeisho/?utm_content=buffer8615a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #kotonowaka #takakeisho #kyushugrandsumotournament

Takakeisho’s hot start to the November sumo meet came to an abrupt end in recent days, and his uphill battle for a title in Fukuoka could mean the wait for the sport's next yokozuna will continue. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/11/22/sumo/takakeisho-struggles-yokozuna-push/?utm_content=bufferf34c1&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #kyushugrandsumotournament #takakeisho

Ozeki Takakeisho's bid for yokozuna promotion took a hit with a shock loss to No. 4 maegashira Gonoyama, while sekiwake Kotonowaka missed a shot at the outright lead by falling to slippery No. 1 maegashira Ura on Saturday at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/11/18/sumo/basho-reports/takakeisho-kotonowaka-surprise-losses/?utm_content=buffer21a6e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #bashoreports #kotonowaka #takakeisho #kyushugrandsumotournament

No. 2 maegashira wrestler Meisei finished the fourth day of the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament with a flourish, riding a wave of support to hand September's champion, ozeki Takakeisho, his first loss. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/11/15/sumo/takakeisho-upset-meisei/?utm_content=buffer862e9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #kyushugrandsumotournament #takakeisho

Terunofuji’s absence aside, professional sumo has just produced the most encouraging start to a tournament in several years. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/11/15/sumo/fukuoka-sumo-hot-start/?utm_content=buffer87e0b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #sumo #kyushugrandsumotournament #takakeisho #kirishima #hoshoryu
