Day15 vs Kotomitsuki (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day15 (="Senshuraku")

Baruto meets Ozeki Kotomitsuki.
Kotomitsuki is surrounded by scandal.
I predict he is lack of concentration


Kotomitsuki showed his potential.
Scandal lited him up.

Baruto ended 10-5 in this tournament.
It is enough for new ozeki but not enough for Yokozuna candidate.

But I think Baruto this tournament have not shown his sumo style at last.

I and Baruto himself (I guess) got surprised when smaller wrestler re-pushed against Baruto.

His pushing power is disarmed.

Lower body and upper body was not synchro-ed.

This is the main reason.

Ozeki BARUTO ×(SHITATENAGE)○ KOTOMITSUKI Ozeki

We have 2 months for next tournament.

Go back to basic and show your best performance.

Day15 long version with English commentary

Scandal of Ozeki Kotomitsuki......

琴光喜から事情聴取　野球賭博疑惑で脅迫受ける？　警視庁

琴光喜＝両国国技館（撮影・今野顕）（写真：産経新聞）

　大相撲の大関琴光喜関（３４）＝本名・田宮啓司、佐渡ケ嶽部屋＝が、野球賭博へのかかわりを口外しない見返りとして、現金を要求されていた疑いがあることが２２日、捜査関係者への取材で分かった。

　警視庁組織犯罪対策３課は同日、琴光喜関本人から任意で事情聴取し、事実関係について直接説明を求めた。

　捜査関係者によると、琴光喜関は違法のプロ野球賭博に関与していた疑いがあるとされ、勝ち金を要求したところ、「賭博にかかわっていることをばらされたくなければ、口止め料を払え」という趣旨の脅迫を受けたとされる。

　琴光喜関は報道陣に対し、２２日までに野球賭博への関与について「まったく知らない。（脅迫も）まったくない」と全面否定しており、組対３課にも同様の説明をしたとみられる。

Yesterday after tournament Ozeki Kotomitsuki was detected by Metropolitan Police Department.

The reason was Kotomitsuki was concerned with illegal betting for baseball.

The suspicion was Kotomitsuki was intimidated by crime syndication.

Kotomitsuki won betting and he requested money back and the gang said if you want not to be opend this illegal matter to public,pay hush money.

Kotomitsuki denied this suspicion to Police department.

Now this scandal is under investigating.

Day14 vs Kitataiki(Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day14

In the interview before bout,Baruto said he felt big tired in this tournament.

Baruto meets Maegashira #4 Kitataiki.

This is their first bout in Makuuchi Division.

Kitataiki belongs to Kitanoumi-Beya(=stable).

Kitanoumi is a great Yokozuna in 1970's.

Kitanoumi means kita(=north) ,no(=of),umi(=lake)

Usually umi means sea but his kanji character 湖(=mizu umi =lake).

Then Kitataiki means kita(=north),tai(=big,thick),ki(=tree)

Kitanoumi is from Hokkaido(=north part of Japan).

But Kitataiki is from Tokyo.

Kitataiki is 7-6.

Baruto missed rocket start and was pressed to the edge of ring.

But Baruto gripped right over so he could stay in the ring.

Kitataiki tried to "Yori" but Baruto was looking for a chance to throw Uwatenage.

Finally Baruto threw completely.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(UWATEANAGE)× KITATAIKI Megashira#4

10 wins 4 loses.

Baruto could step up to 10 wins line.

This is very important.

As usually,10 wins is must for Ozeki.

9wins 6loses Ozeki is called "Kunroku Ozeki"(Kun=9,Roku=6).

This word is kind of jeer by fans.

In this tournament,Baruto could not chase champion race but over 10 wins is good for new born Ozeki.

Day13 vs Kisenosato (Gogogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day13

Baruto meets Sekiwake Kisenosato today.

Baruto is 8-4.

Kisenosato is 7-5.

Win is best medicine.

Baruto shifted (="Henka") at starting.

I think this was not Baruto wanted to do.

But I understand you,Baruto.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(HATAKIKOMI)× KISENOSATO Sekiwake

9 wins 4 loses.

Aran won today and 10-3.

But Hakuho defeated Ozeki Kotomitsuki.

It meant Hakuho passed the goal line of Emperor's cup this tournament.

This is his 14 times of "Yusho".

It is tie to former Yokozuna Wajima.

We have to say congratulation to Hakuho this time.

But remembar! Next time we will say same words to our Baruto.

Day12 vs Hakuho (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day12

I went to Kokugikan to cheer up our Baruto!

I got a lot of message from Estonian sumo fans.

(Additionally I got emaii from I san with many vocie files!! Thank you so much)

I am not sure our voices reached to Baruto or not.

But I am convinced our challenge is never ended.

As you knew already,Baruto today could not show his sumo.

Hakuho pressed Baruto with full throttle.

What happened to you Baruto?

Many fans want to ask this.

But please wait now.

We can imagine great changes after ozeki promotion had occurred.

Mass media surrounded Baruto.

And Newspaper wrote Baruto would get Empero's trophy in this tournament.

Baruto had to attend many events.

All those things around Baruto pressed Baruto.

Specially Baruto lost his sumo style after lost bout with Kakuryu.

Baruto has looked hastening to win.

When we throw stone,we can trace parabolaic orbit.

After stone reaches the top,stone is going down.

We know stone lost his speed at the top.

I think man should be a challenger it is no limits of speed.

Baruto is now ozeki but ozeki rank brings no power.

Baruto and we re-mind we are challenger.

I think Yokozuna is top but not the goal.

Yokozuna is another name of "challenger " to pursue his sumo.

Let's re-start our journey to sumo-do from tomrrow onward ,Baruto!

Ozeki BARUTO ×(OSHIDASHI)○ HAKUHO Yokozuna

8 wins 4 loses.

Day10 vs Kotooshu (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day10

Kotooshu is 6-3.
Baruto is 8-1.
Baruto has to win to survive Emperor's cup race.
Past is 4 wins' Baruto and % wins' Kotooshu.

Kotooshu has stayed at Ozeki rank for over 4 years.
Kotooshu was considered as a top candidate for Yokozuna but his knee injury makes his sumo unpowered these days.




Baruto in this tournament has not been able to keep his body balance lower at starting.
Kotooshu gripped "Maemitsu"(=front part of bel) and lift Baruto up.

This was the dividing line between win and defeat.

Ozeki BARUTO ×(YORIIRI)○ KOTOOSHU○ Ozeki

8 wins 2 loses.

No loser:Hakuho
1 loser:no one
2 loser:Shimotori(#12),Aran(M#10),Hakuba(M#5),Baruto(Ozeki)

Hakuho keeps perfect sumo.
2 losers are lower rankers except Baruo.

I think Baruto is only hope .

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day9

Barut fights against Ozeki Kaio.
Baruto is 7 wins 1 lose.
Kaio is 5 wins 3 loses.
Past is Baruto 4 wins and Kaio 5 wins.
But In past 6 tournaments,Baruto is 3 wins 2 loses.


Baruto did not push at "tachiai"(=starting).

Baruto tried to grip bels but he could not.

If Baruto fastened to change this situation,he would lose today.

But Baruto waited for chance.

Ozeki Kaio was lack of stamina.

Baruto gradually gave pressure to Kaio.

At last he threw "Kotenage" and made Kaio losing control and pushed out of ring.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× KAIO Ozeki

8 wins 1 lose.

Baruto has gotten "KACHIKOSHI"(=8 over wins).

No loser:Hakuho(Yokozuna)

1 loser:Baruto(Ozeki)

Day8 vs Kakuryu (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day8

Baruto meets Maegashira #3 Kakuryu .

Kakuryu means "Crane Dragon"

He is from Mongol.He has scored 2 wins 5 loses.

I think Kakuryu looked not energetic in this tournament.

Now he stays at Maegashira but has already experienced Sekiwake rank in the past.

2010Jan :Baruto won .(click to movie)

2010Mar:Baruto won but was slightly defeated.(click to movie)

Kakuryu is not a easy opponent.

u---m!

Kakuryu chose a pushing start.

I think this gave Baruto a big surprise.

Baruto seemed to be upset.

Kakuryu pulled Baruto's arm (="hikikomi")and threw with lever power(="tottari").

Baruto wass completely unbalanced.

Ozeki BARUTO ×(OSHITAOSHI)○ KAKURYU Maegashira#3

7 wins 1 lose.

Baruto fights against Maegashira#1 Miyabiyama.
Miyabiyama is a former Ozeki.
Past result are 5 wins Miyabiyama and 8wins Baruto.
But They met 3 times and Baruto defeated 3 times in recent 6 tournaments.

I like last their bout onDay13 2010Mar tournament.(CLICK HERE)

Baruto crashed Miyabiyama completely.

I think Baruto has finished his warm up .

He has regained his rocket pushing start!!

7 continuous wins!!

Day6 vs Aminsihiki (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day6

Today's opponent Aminishiki is ranked Sekiwake.
He is a 31 years old and is no longer in the best season of Sumotories, I think.

As we know,the last bout between Baruto and Aminishiki was most close to Baruto's lost in the last tournament.

Aminishiki tried to push against Baruto's pushing.

Too much caution against Baruto's pushing made Aminishiki head down.

Baruto passed up Aminishiki's this head down posture.

Baruto pulled down Aminishiki.

Pulling is sometimes considered bad skill for right "Rikishi"

And pulling habit makes sometimes ruins good sumo style.

But this time pulling is through Baruto's carefull watching .

It is very important to keep head in a bout.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(HATAKIKOMI)× AMINISHIKI Sekiwake

6 wins!

Day5 vs Toyonoshima (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day5

Baruto meets Maegashira top ranker Toyonoshima.

He is not tall but has a big belly.

He rushes forward with his big belly.

8 wins 1 lose is their past result.

Toyonoshima means "Rich Island".

Baruto did not choose pushing start.

I think to grasp belt is the most safe way for Baruto to win.

Baruto cooked Toyonoshima with left over arm.

Baruto seemed to regain his composure.

Day4 vs Tochiozan (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day4


Baruto meets Komusubi Tochiozan.
Past result between Baruto and Tochiozan is Baruto's 7 wins and no loses.

Tochiozan keeps upper than maegashira top in these tournaments.

He is not a tricky type wrestler.

Baruto tried to push with both arms (="moroteduki").

But he could not push away and pulled back..

If Tochiozan has a rushing power,this pulling is a kind of mistake.

Baruto caught Tochozan and threw out of ring with "Sukuinage"

Not so bad but not so good.

I think Baruto should shape his starte stepping and pushing.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(SUKUINAG)× TOCHIOZAN Komusubi

Day3 vs Kotoshogiku (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Gogatsu-Basho Day3.
Baruto meets Komusubi Kotoshogiku.
Kotoshogiku is thought to be one of Next Ozeki candidates.
He has a very small body which is very mere in Makuuchi Division.
Why is he surviving in Makuuchi Division?
Because his rushing "Gaburiyori" is very effective for big wrestlers.
He dives inside opponent and makes opponent unbalance with attaching his head to opponent chest.

↓below bout are 2009Nov basho.Baruto was defeated.


How do you sumo,Baruto??




Can you find the difference?
Baruto's starting is the point.


left: bout today. right: defeated bout

Baruto's waist position is still high(this should be improved ).
Baruto's armpits is closed tightly in both bout.
But today's Baruto prepared to push opponent upper body.
This is very big difference.

Kotoshogiku was unpowered because he could not dived inside.

I think Baruto has not gotten his top form yet.
But 3 wins until Day3!!

Day2 vs Homasho (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Today's opponent Homasho is ranked at Maegashira #2.

Past result between them is 6 wins' Baruto and only 1 win's Homasho.

Homasho is very polite and does not show "Henka" in his starting.

Oh,,,Homasho did "Henka" at starting.

I think Baruto did not predict this starting.

Homasho stepped forward with "Hazeoshi"(=pushing to armpis).

If Homasho pushes with lower postition,Baruto lost today.

Baruto once stood against Homasho pushing,Baruto grasped bel and pulled up.

After fight,Baruto shook his head,,,,,I know the reason.

Every opponents from today will try to trap Baruto at starting not to be pushed.

Day2 Digest

Day1 vs Tochinoshin (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Everybody knows first day after ozeki promotion is very important.
If he wins,he can make a good start.
But if he loses,he can not ride on a good wave.

Tochinoshin is from Georgia.
He has a good traditional sumo skills.

He chose pushing style like last tournament.
This style makes opponent threatened in this tournament.
