1973 had a worldwide oil crisis that in turn led to higher demand for more efficient and environmentally friendly Japanese products. Coincidentally, the video game crash in the US led to higher demand for Japanese electronic products as well. Every company related to tech, automobiles, and related production went on hiring sprees, which in turn led to more women in the workforce as a necessity to take up less labour-intensive jobs. This left more women with less time to get married and have kids.
It's a similar explanation to the late 40s by the way. The devastation of the war, massive amounts of men dying in the military, and need for rebuilding led to massive amounts of women having to work, especially widows having to look after their children.

He isn't for sure out.

I think it's down to how bad Hokuseihou comes across in a detailed telling of the events. A long suspension instead of intai isn't unrealistic imo

This is probably the anonymous twitter account that got the JSA's attention re: Hokuseiho's abuse/theft: https://twitter.com/sumodaikisu/
The article says the JSA became aware of the abuse due to a tweet they received on January 21. Whoever owns that account was spamming the same message to the JSA, to news outlets that cover sumo, to big sumo accounts, etc. during that time. If this person actually has insider knowledge and is telling the truth, it sounds there may be video evidence of the abuse and possibly even attempts to bribe a victim's (or possibly multiple victims') parents to keep them quiet? I don't know, I don't speak moon runes, and machine translations can be sketchy when it comes to details.

Shot in the dark, but Naoki Hanashi was a lower division wrestler as Mihonoumi wrestling for Musashigawa stable, retired January last year, and the September 10, 2022 join date was a day before what would be his last basho before injury and retirement. Maybe he heard stuff from guys he still knew.

>Miyagino was aware of Kitaseiho's assault on B during the July 2022 tournament, but did not directly confirm the situation with B or Kitaseiho, nor did he even check B's photographs of the damage. He also did not warn Kita Seiho, and did not even report directly to the previous master. If Miyagino had taken this opportunity to directly confirm the situation with B and Hokushiho and to warn Hokushiho, the assault not only on B but also on A could have been identified earlier, and Hokushiho's assault could have been prevented from becoming a regular occurrence. As a result of failing to supervise Hokuseiho and report the incident to the association, the two victims were subjected to violence for more than a year, and Miyagino bears a heavy responsibility for this.

As a general rule, anything the JSA officially punishes is always more systemic than they let on. It has to be pretty big for them to act.
It's like how the Japanese legal system has a 99% conviction rate, but only because the preferred actions are "ignore so it doesn't hurt our crime stats"->"yell at someone to stop and hope they do"->"try and mediate between suspect and victim so the victim doesn't press charges"->"only press charges if there's a 100% chance of conviction"->"still try to mediate to cause a settlement/plea deal because judges don't like having to work" before they actually bother going to trial. Similar course of actions with the JSA internally.

There's probably some more bits we don't know but I don't think there really needs to be any more to it than what has already come out for the punishment to be justified. Demotion seems to always the response when there is a bullying scandal and the oyakata is deemed to have done nothing or not enough to stop it.

Sumo is at a disadvantage under most rulesets, because a rikishi is trained to avoid touching the ground at all costs. He has no defense against attacks that come from the ground, nor does he have any offensive capability on the ground. As soon as groundwork is introduced, the rikishi must essentially abandon all his training and become a big, heavy brawler, which leaves him vulnerable to various techniques. Sumo is an incredibly specialised sport where the athletes have spent centuries focusing on and developing a metagame, to the point that their skills are a liability in a more open competition. It will always be easier for someone from another combat sport to get good at sumo than the other way around.

Sumo, in a self defense situation, is surprisingly effective. As shown by YouTuber Sensei Seth in the YouTuber self defence clash, Sumo's emphasis on explosive rushing is situationally beneficial. A street fight could conceivably be one of those situations.
However, the most effective form of self defence in a street fight is not being in one. Followed by having a group of young, aggressive, loyal male friends, followed by having a weapon. Then, and only if you have failed at the first three stages, should how good you are at unarmed combat be relevant.
Anonymous at Sun, 25 Feb 2024 12:55:56 UTC No. 188259
>>188252
If there are no rules at all, the stability and explosive force of sumo can be helpful, but given that there's no ring to push your opponent out of, and the fact he can get back up if you send him to the ground, the fight is likely to last longer than the average sumo match, which again puts a rikishi at a disadvantage. Realistically, sumo's main transferable skill is simply being large and powerful - there's not much in it that's geared towards actual fighting. Under the sumo ruleset, a rikishi is perfect, outside of sumo he's sub-optimal in many ways.

>freestyle or Greco rules?
The strength of sumo in grappling is the same reason for its weakness. Like others said, there's no groundwork at all since the match ends in sumo if it goes there, so a sumotori is clueless if it lands there. Having said that, what makes sumo strong (and other grappling arts with "no-touching other than soles" rules like Chinese wrestling or Mongolian wrestling) is that it is damned hard to get them to go to the ground in the first place.
If you train with the mindset that you lose when even a finger brushes the ground, you get a very high level of balance, body awareness, and sensitivity that you don't see to the same degree in other martial arts. A freestyle or folkstyle guy might run to his knees to make a takedown or scramble happen if they can't get one standing. A BJJ guy might pull guard and a judo/sambo guy might do a sacrifice throw for similar reasons. But a sumo guy? Good fucking luck trying to get them down when they won't even concede an inch.
Webm related. Here's Takeshi Amitani (never went pro but won multiple amateur Japan nationals) vs Curtis Blaydes (All American wrestler and top ten UFC heavyweight).
>MMA rules?
You can't go into MMA with JUST sumo, but it can be great to train as a supplement. Lyoto Machida trained in amateur sumo in Brazil and was extremely hard to take down and he fought some high level wrestlers.

Pushing/thrusting can be of (limited) use in combat sports and da street. The wrestling in sumo is sound and really not that different from other wrestling. An underhook is an underhook regardless of whether you're wearing a mawashi, gi, or singlet.

Judo moves are highly popular, as the other anon said a lot of kids get scouted from Judo into Sumo.
The real problem here is weight, trying to throw a guy weighing 300+lbs is a great way to end up destroying your shoulders.
Chiyonofuji is a great example of this, smaller muscle wrestler that used a lot of throws until the injuries began to pile up, at which point he focused more on frontal force outs and straight forward power.

Generally coaches will attend high-school tournaments and visit individual schools looking for promising young men at the sumo clubs. They'll often revisit a particular school many times over the years, because a young Japanese kid is more likely to agree to join a stable if his senpai went there last year and posted on LINE about how great it is. The Hakuho Cup seriously disrupts this, because it means that the best young lads in the nation will be going directly to Hakuho himself, who then gets first pick of the talent. It would be very interesting if Hakuho left (or was forced out of) the JSA and put his full attention onto amasumo, because there's a strong chance that a lot of boys who would otherwise have joined a stable would instead choose to take part in the Hakuho League.

tl;dr Hakuho should have bent the knee to the Nipponese boomers instead of being the person most responsible for raising awareness of and prospects for sumo since the Hawaiians pushed it into the Western consciousness.
On the other hand, it was retarded to try to cover up Hokuseiho's behavior when he wasn't even around to prevent it, apparently.

It was shocking to me that he discussed wanting to return to the ring after his physicians told him to stop practicing the sport before he permanently cripples himself. Little guy's walking back into the meat grinder, worse for wear.

What kind of Chris-tier schizo conspiracy theory is this?
The Hakuho Cup is a big tournament, but it's only for elementary-to-junior high kids. It can only be a net-win for the JSA since it gets young kids more interested in sumo. The high school tournaments are still bigger and more prestigious. Even if we assume Hakuho gets to poach people, let's look at how Hakuho Cup participants who went pro ended up.
>Kawazoe/Kiho (Miyagino)
>Onosho (Onomatsu)
>Ura (Kise)
>Kotonowaka (Sadogatake)
>Roga (Futagoyama)
>Onosato (Nishonoseki)
>Ochiai/Hakuoho (Miyagino)
>Tenshoho (Miyagino)
>Kawabuchi (Shikoroyama)
>Kototebakari (Sadogatake)
>Yoshii (Tokitsukaze)
>Nishida (Nishonoseki)
There's only 3 Miyagino recruits compared to everybody else. Joining Miyagino could easily be explained by wanting to train with the GOAT.

From now on they are gonna be on Hakuho's ass until he snaps. He truly gathered a lot of enemies on the way up.

The thing is he'd have probably just gotten a slap on the wrist if he'd have thrown Hokustandho under the bus. For all the conjecture of evil racist Jap boomers of the NSK keeping elder Hakuho down just like they did when he was active, his post-retirement career was proceeding swimmingly. They could've written it off as "one bad apple" and "prease understando sumo culture" and it'd have died in a week. But because Hakuho tried to cover it up, it made national news because all the bullying happened under the GOAT's watch.

This isn't Chris's position. This isn't heat Chris thinks. This is, by virtue of it not actually being Hakuho's voice, obviously Chris summing up what he believes are the arguments in defense of (and the last one, against) Hak.
And it's done this way - in first person - for entertainment purposes. This isn't mind reading or schizophrenia. It's entertaininment. Editorializing. There is an unspoken "this is what Hakuho might be thinking" at the beginning of the video. If you can't realise that, your probably also can't imagine an apple and you just say you can so you don't get bullied here.

And yet he chooses to present it as if these are Hakuho's own thoughts. The content of the video is about the hypocrisy of the JSA, and how they have chosen not to punish other stables for similar (and dissimilar) infringements. But he chooses to frame it as Hakuho's own thoughts rather than his own perspective on a contentious issue. It's about the deliberate framing.
And then there's the part where he goes:
>Given the violent nature of bouts... is what Hokuseiho did to juniors any worse than what was done to you during your careers?

Rumors are now spreading in the Jap press saying that Miyagino stable is going to be liquidated and Isegahama stable is going to absorb all the wrestlers from Miyagino.
Asahifuji is the current Isegahama boss and he turns 65 in just over a year, just in time for Terunofuji's impending retirement.

It's nothing to do with the bullying and everything to do with the cover-up/PR nightmare. Every elder got the shit beaten out of them and would gladly do it to their recruits if it wasn't harder to get away with it in current year.
Putting the bullying aside
>Hokuseiho was abusing his schoolmates as far back as his high school sumo days
>Hokuseiho's high school sumo program is run by Ishiura's dad so they can't have Ishiura take over because he might be in on it
>Hakuho lied about Hokuseiho having injuries to pull out of the basho
>Hakuho hired a third party to obfuscate the NSK's investigation into the abuse

Most of the content of the article is the speculation of "a young oyakata" and "a sumo reporter". Doesn't mean they're wrong, but none of it is being presented as fact in the text.

A couple possibilities:
- he didn’t know
- he didn’t care
- he approved of the bullying
- he tried to discipline him and it simply didn’t work
The issue is not the bullying itself, that’s common enough and all the stable masters have dealt with it from time to time. If that were all it was, Hakuho would get a lecture but not this public shaming.
The real problem was that he ignored/stonewalled the JSA when they made inquiries. If you’re not going to be a team player, the other elders WILL make an example out of you.

"Common pranks" is relative. Keep in mind that a sumo stable is generally full of enormous young men with lots of testosterone, who are trained to fight and encouraged to be highly competitive, in addition to having the cultural implication that they are all modern-day samurai. Frankly, I'm surprised that rikishi aren't regularly hospitalised or permanently crippled as a result of general high spirits.

Hakuho tried to cover it up and as is so common, the coverup ended up being equally on par with the crime in terms of repugnance. If he has been honest about the situation, including his own gross negligence, things probably would have worked out better for him. Instead he chose to take a dishonest approach, which reveals what kind of character he really is.

Hakuho turned into Hakuho because he tried to do the whole respectable thing and got no respect in return. His earlier bouts as a yokozuna he would make sure people didn't fall off, politely moved them out when both knew it was over, etc. Imagine getting ten yusho and still getting shot on. Imagine almost a decade of youngsters trying everything trick in the book to get a gold star and always fighting their hardest even though they're going 5-10. Its like watching tobizaru fighting terunofuji. Tobizaru has zero respect for terunofuji's accomplishments. As a yokozuna, im sure that becomes tiresome.

I know this is a shitpost but it actually is pretty sad how Hakuho went from "the good yokozuna" to contrast bad boy Asashoryu, to being one more bad move away from being a sumo pariah. Kakuryu and Terunofuji must be smiling inside though since it means they just need to do the bare minimum as elders and they'll be "well they're better than Hakuho." Teru already has the goodwill of not being Hakuho giving him a screen for his own injury issues and letting people forget about his own controversies during his first ozeki tenure.

Whatever else you want to say about him, this isn't true. There are lots of Miyagino randos who you don't know exist because no one in the sumo media said anything when they were signed.

The truth is, sumo needs a combination of both in order to succeed. Hakuho's fatal flaw was allowing the tournaments and celebrity hobnobbing to be contextualized as benefiting him as an individual instead of sumo as a collective whole.

If you sort the banzuke by heya and go through them all, you'll see that everyone has wrestlers like these. Isegahama has raised multiple yokozuna, and also has multiple wrestlers in their 30s who've never made it to makushita.

The sumo system demands, runs on, hundreds of losers. You need chanko goons and ass wipers and kimono folders. That's not even talking about the professional losers, the ring attendants.
Also, it's hard innit. For every success, there are always 10 or more failures. People who don't have the ring sense, who can't build muscle with their fat, people who can't learn technique, people made of glass and perpetually broken.

Both, Kakuryu and Terunofuji, have displayed the dignity and poise of a Yokozuna that should absolutely meet the standards of the JSA. Both, however, will still be shit on due to the fact that they are gaijin, and nothing will ever change that fact.
There's an interview with Akebono where he said that he left the association because he was told outright that he could, and would, NEVER be elected chairman because he was a gaijin. I understand and somewhat respect the Japanese for protecting their culture, but if you're going to restrict gaijin, then at least be honest about it and tell them up front to their faces, rather than do some shit behind their backs.
The JSA absolutely hates Hakuho because he's gaijin, didn't respect the "dignity" standards of a Yokozuna, and because he broke the shit out of most of the Japanese sumo records during his career. The JSA will find some way to either directly kick out Hakuho, or make him miserable enough over time that he resigns of his own accord. I imagine that they'd even go so far as to shut down Miyagino stable solely to eliminate the stable responsible for destroying Japanese records and accomplishments.
Sad, really...

if hakuho didn't want to be disciplined for being a negligent stablemaster and for trying to cover up the evidence of his negligence instead of being honest about it then he should have been a diligent stablemaster when he was given the opportunity to do so.
>The JSA absolutely hates Hakuho!!
>oy vey thats so racist!!
he is widely disliked because he is a douche, theres already a number of other foreign stablemasters who aren't negligent douchebags and as a result don't draw the ire of the JSA.

Agreed, but I don't think he got ahead by using cheap shots; he got ahead alongside using cheap shots. Things like forearm blasts and harite are risky moves, as if they don't work you're very likely conceding a bad belt position. Hakuho was inhumanly quick for his size and so could utilize those moves to greater effect than most.

Yeah. Takakeisho might be done.
2nd best rikishi in the modern era to never become Yokozuna, after Kaio? I feel like when he is healthy he is clearly stronger than the other 3 Ozeki, but that at least one of them will become Yoko, which seems very unlikely to him. Health is important for rikishi, after all.
His Oyakata retires in a couple of years. Wonder if he will try to stick around until that?

The thing with these neck injuries specifically is that they can never get better; they simply degrade with time. See Enhou for an obvious example. Takakeishou is unlikely to wrestle at an ozeki level again, short of a miracle.

Takakeisho is more accomplished on paper sure, but I rate Goeido higher. Keisho at his best was a good/great ozeki, but never had that razzle dazzle yokozuna factor. He benefited more from being a big fish in a small pond. When Goeido was on, he was yokozuna caliber for sure. One of sumo's biggest what ifs had he remained injury-free.

Wrestlers have nothing to do with the characters in their kouenkai and are strongly encouraged to never speak against them.

There have been 9 guys to make ozeki before they turned 23 since the end of the Showa period. Of those, 4 never made yokozuna: Takanonami, Chiyotaikai, Kotooshu, and Takakeisho.
So 5/9 is roughly similar to the chance of ozeki making yokozuna to begin with.

8 men made ozeki at or before 24 without making yokozuna (not counting Takakeisho and Hoshoryu, sine they’re active)
Of the yokozuna promoted since Taiho, 18 made ozeki at 24 or earlier and only 8 were yokozuna first made ozeki at 25 or later.
19 made ozeki after 24 years without making yokozuna, plus 6 active guys who could theoretically still make it.

To think we almost had no ozeki if keisho didn’t clear kadoban, who would’ve gotten promoted to ozeki at that time wakamotoharu hoshoryu?

He was solid and unbeatable in week 2 after he'd got the cobwebs cleaned out last time. He said in his victory speech last time that "training for March starts tomorrow" so he should be even better now given that he only trained for like a week before Hatsu.
He could probably take all 6 this year barring further physical problems, when he is healthy he is a level above everyone else.

He doesn't need it. 30 is the standard route, but 29 is more than enough to get a kabu. Chikubayama got one with fucking 25.

True. Especially considering how much publicity Enho game to the sport from the moment he became sekitori.
Anonymous at Fri, 8 Mar 2024 15:45:05 UTC No. 189861
>>189844
Chikubayama (assuming you mean ex-Miyagino) competed under old rules that only required 25 bashos at juryo or a single basho at maegashira. The current rules are 1 basho at sanyaku, or 20 at makuuchi, or 30 at sekitori. Enho has none of those. The rules were slightly relaxed to let Hochiyama inherit Kimigahama, but that was when there were 8 vacant kabu being held by active wrestlers that couldn't even be loaned up due to lack of eligible wrestlers who were willing to retire and hadn't already left the JSA. I doubt Enho would have the same leeway.

>>189844
>>189861
There is one further exception for wrestlers who are inheriting a stable, where they only need 12 makuuchi or 20 juryo basho. Enho would qualify for this. However, it would require Hakuho to quit the JSA altogether, and the JSA to allow Enho to both inherit Miyagino and the stable.

That's still wrong, as you admit about Houchiyama. It's 28 with a guarantor. He wasn't given some one-off exception. Tenkaihou also had 29 and got a kabu in 2019.

So Enho would therefore need the approval of the current kabu holder, Hakuho (as his master) and also of a separate guarantor? I wouldn't bet on his chances, personally.
Anonymous at Fri, 8 Mar 2024 18:59:52 UTC No. 189890

An exception to the rule proves the rule exists in the first place, anon. Otherwise the exception wouldn't be an exception. If Enho felt he had a guarantor and JSA support, then there wouldn't be such a big deal about him trying to get back to sekitori for a 30th tournament.

He'll lose at least 6. The options are he does really well, then has to fight tougher opponents, or he'll not do well at all.

It is literally listed as an addendum to the rule. That is why I posted the addendum. It's not an exception (especially given it has happened more than once), it's in black and white.

Nobody's eligible for yokozuna or ozeki right now, so it's the usual see if anyone does well and see if Teru/Keisho break down again. The behind the scenes drama this off-season has severely overshadowed anything on the dohyo, which sucks since this is Kotonowaka's ozeki debut.
