>Koga, I'm sorry to hear that your whole leg had to be amputated after Biggufattofucko fell on it on the dohyo. To cheer you up I shaved my hair, its pretty much the same as losing a leg.

>>251325You have nothing to apologize for, the Danfag should be humbled at any opportunity
So what do referees and dohyo attendants do during the off basho months?
>>251340Yobidashi do an absolute fuck-ton of everything, not just maintain the dohyo. Every job you can think of that isn't done by the elders, wrestlers, referees, or hairdressers is done by the yobidashi, including tasks within stables during training days.
>>251341Oh really, I thought they were basically part timer workers
>>251308ur gay
Dan's ozeki debut has him listed alongside and in some cases above nearly all of the most legendary names from the history of sumohttps://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoTopics/banzuke_topics/2026 January Grand Sumo Tournament Banzuke TopicsOzeki Debut AonishikiThis is the first Ozeki debut since the promotion of Onosato in November 2024.Aonishiki is the first newly promoted Ozeki from Ajigawa Stable since the current Shisho founded it.He is the first Ukrainian-born Rikishi as well as the 14th foreign-born Rikishi to achieve this. The previous one was Hoshoryu, promoted in September 2023.Taking only 14 tournaments since his professional debut means the fastest promotion. (Table 1)Reaching the Ozeki rank in only 5 tournaments since his Makuuchi debut means tying the postwar record for the fastest promotion. (Table 2)At 21 years and 8 months of age, Aonishiki is now the fourth youngest newly promoted Ozeki. (Table 3)Staying without a losing record from his professional debut has not been accomplished since Haguroyama in January 1940. (Excluding Makushita Tsukedashi.)Aonishiki is only the fourth Rikishi since the Showa era to make his Ozeki debut in the tournament immediately following his Sekiwake debut. The previous Rikishi were Futabayama, Haguroyama, and most recently Itsutsushima in the January tournament of 1941.
No one asked.
>>251367>Akebon
>>251372>Akebonio
>>251367Someone stop this zoomer or he will be yokozuna 2026!
Now he's samefagging.
>>251302Can't but agree lad
>>251340The gyoji are responsible for painting the banzookas and similar tasks, IDK if it's enough to fill two whole months though.
>>251372>>251373My shikona if I joined a stable? Akabonito
Reminder that old Asahifuji is based as fuck and basically just holding onto the Miyagino kabu until someone worthy comes along, which will quite possibly be Enho.
>>251379My shikona if I joined a stable? Abi (he retired and said I could use it).
Imagine being a top prospect and joining Nishonoseki. Imagine being told you're being honoured with the shikona of Kisenosato.
>>251381What would your two main techniques be?
>>251367Dan's achievements are so earth-shattering that it brought him back through time to 2016 where he stood amongst the other 4 ozeki and 3 yokozuna. He fixed the timeline by changing the torikumi, which made Terunofuji not kyujo himself for the first time.
What are the chances that after Aonishiki gets Yokozuna he uses his own Dohyo iri in which he dons an adidas tracksuit and squats in the center while smoking?>>251353>>251366Those were very nice thank you anon
>>251367i don't care, i just want to see sanyaku fight for the yusho, no clown bashos please.

Aonishiki steps into Ozeki rolehttps://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/special/04/4480/index.html
Sumo: Nerveless Aonishiki primed for ozeki debut, chases yokozuna dreamDecember 23, 2025 (Mainichi Japan)https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20251222/p2g/00m/0sp/045000c TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A month after securing his first Emperor's Cup and promotion to ozeki, Ukrainian star Aonishiki wore a relaxed demeanor on Monday finding his name at the second highest rank for the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament.The 21-year-old touched on the excitement in reaching the rank in what is the fastest ascension from the bottom of the sport's pyramid after only 14 meets, but was constant in his message that even ozeki is a stop on the way to yokozuna, the sport's pinnacle."I was happy to be announced as the new ozeki on the first day of the regional tour. There were more cheers, and the fans' voices were far louder than before," Aonishiki said. "(But) my desire is to have a go at the one rank above.""I want to make the next year no worse than 2025, win the title again and will work hard to become yokozuna. I have confidence in my wrestling style that brought me this far, and there's no need to change it just because I've won promotion."Having fled his country originally to Germany amid the war with Russia, Aonishiki, whose real name is Danylo Yavhusishyn, arrived in Japan in April 2022 before making his grand sumo debut in September 2023 at out-of-rank maezumo.The youngster has since taken the ancient sport by storm, particularly with his ability to keep a low, forward-leaning stance throughout bouts, which he credits to his background in freestyle wrestling."You fight while keeping yourself low for six minutes in wrestling, so my abdominals and back muscles developed. I'm making the most of them now," Aonishiki said recently.
After fighting mostly on mats rather than sand in Ukraine, even in sumo, Aonishiki said he also had to "get used to" the fierce, head-on crashes at the start of bouts, as well as facing opponents with big weight differences on a daily basis in professional sumo.But that did not derail the Vinnytsia native's formidable rise as he broke Bulgarian-born Kotooshu's record for the fastest rise to ozeki by five meets. He also tied former yokozuna Azumafuji and current grand champion Onosato for the fewest meets needed to reach ozeki after the top-tier makuuchi division entrance, at five.Inspired by his countryman and heavyweight pound-for-pound king Oleksandr Usyk for his "devotion" to boxing, Aonishiki also said former European ozeki of Kotooshu, Estonian Baruto and Georgian Tochinoshin, as well as legendary yokozuna Taiho who had a Ukrainian father, are all on his mind as he surges his way up."I certainly know about them. It's an important part of sumo history, and I've studied them since I was in Ukraine," he said.Motivated to follow in the footsteps of Sergey Bubka and Andriy Shevchenko as one of Ukraine's leading sporting figures, Aonishiki said he is "ready to help in any way possible" if more talent from his country follows him into the sumo world.His stablemaster Ajigawa, former sekiwake Aminishiki, acknowledged the burden that comes with battling in the second-highest rank as being a "role model on and off the dohyo," and Aonishiki was up for the challenge."I'm learning from him how to wrestle without stopping, (always) applying subtle technique and not giving opponents time to think," said Aonishiki, a courteous character who was still in the second-tier juryo this time last year."Having entered the world of sumo, there's no point if I don't aim for the very top. It's not a place everyone can reach, but I want to do everything I can to get there."
>>251466>>251467danschizo really dumped the whole article solely so he could post 2 dan pictures in a row.
>>251291Hakuho's Dohyo-iri was nice earlier on in his yokozuna stint. As time went on though and he started doing all that extra shit, it just got worse and worse.
>Hoshoryu has picked up a minor injuryYou could set your watch to this happening just before every basho.
>>251477I’m actually a fan of his but… it does sound like a preemptive John…
