大相撲　初場所　第６日目。両国国技館。
Grand Sumo Tournament Hatsu-Bahso Day6 2012/1/13 Friday.

Baruto(5-0) vs Aminishiki(2-3).
Past 12-5 (3-0 /one year)

Baruto started to get grip maybe..
Aminishiki made his head downward.
Baruto pulled.
The timing was the best.

But Baruto shook his head.
Baruto looked unsatisfied.

Baruto sometimes showed this gesture before promoting Ozeki.
I liked this gesture because I hope Baruto chases  for his Sumo style.

I think this touranment Baruto is facing his sumo.

Baruto W(HATAKIKOMI)L Aminishiki


6 straight wins!!

Day11 vs Aminishiki (Nagoya-Basho 2011 July)

Day4 vs Aminishiki (Tech-Exam 2011 May)

Day4 Baruto has 2-1 Maegashira #3 Aminishiki.

Nothing to say,Aminishiki is very skillful sumotori.

In yesterday's bout interview,Baruto commented "This tournament is half serious"

"I can not concentrate",newspapers and TV news reported.

I think this comment was over reporeted by media but this comment brought a big sensation to Japanese and Sumo funs in this circumstances.

All I want is Baruto express himself by wins.

Uuuuuum,good fight!!!

Baruto was full of energy.

Rushing power was amazing.

I think Baruto fought against irresponsible media report.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI Maegashira#3

Day4 vs Aminishiki (Hatsu-Basho 2011 Jan)

Grand Sumo Tournament Htsu-Basho Day4.

Baruto meets Maegashira top contender Aminishiki.

Past was 5 win vs 9 wins.

Today is not easy opponent for Baruto.

Aminishiki does not have his sumo style.

He changed his strategy for each opponents.

Sometimes very tricky.

Huuuuuu.

Win is win.

Baruto got 3 wins but his sumo this tournament has not his best one.

Waist postion is still high and his pushing is only pushing without using lowers stability.

Baruto has Maegashira #2 Aminishiki today.

Aminishiki beat Ozeki Kotooshu yesterday.

Aminishi 5 wins and Baruto 8 wins are past results.

Perfect win.
Baruto started with still high position.
But I think his starting is getting better.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI Maegashira #2

3 wins no loses.

Come on,Baruto!
***************************************************************************

Yesterday's hero Kisenosato Maegashira top beat Ozeki Harumafuji completely.

Day12 vs Aminishiki (Kugatsu-Basho 2010 Sep)

GRAND SUMO TOURNAMENT KUGATSU-BASHO DAY12

Baruto today takes on Aminishiki. He is 31 years old Maegashira #4.

Aminishiki has knee injury but his tricky start and skill are still alive.

Aminishiki has already beat Kotooshu in this tournament.

A (安)means safty.

Mi(美) means beauty.

Nishiki(錦) means brocade.

Uuuuuuh!

Baruto pushed but aminishiki took side steps.

Baruto lost target.

Baruto this tournament pushing lost its power.

I guess Baruto has knee injury and he could not bring power to pushing.

So Aminishiki had time to take side steps.

Ozeki BARUTO ×(OKURIDASHI)○ AMINISHIKI Megashira #4

8 wins 4 loses.

Baruto has Yokozuna Hakuho tomorrow.

Japnanese sumo fans think Hakuho never lose.

But Baruto is only Yokozuna candidate now.

You must win!!

As we predicted,Baruto slightly lost this bout.

Aminishiki had chance to win.

But Baruto today continued to rush and tried to chase Aminishiki's action.

Aminishiki is 31 years old.

A big and long bout was hard for older.

Baruto gripped belt by his left hand,,,he could grip.

Today is not perfect sumo.

Day13 vs Aminishiki (Hatsu-Basho 2010 Jan)

Grand Sumo Tournament Hatsu-Basho Day13 (Friday)

大相撲 初場所　十三日目

3 losers have a chance to get "Yusho"

Both Aminishiki and Baruto are 9 wins 3 loses.

Aminishiki has a his sumo style.

Baruto lost his "Tachiai"(=starting).

High waist position and dull stepping forward.

Aminishiki attached his head to Baruto and rush forwars.

It seems to be end of Baruto.

But Baruto tried to throw by his left arm.

Oh,my! Bauto body was dead body but Aminishiki's arm reached to grand almost same timing.

The referee judged BAruto win.

The judges raised their hands to claim "Monoiri".

After the judges meeting,head judge announced "Dou Tai"(=same timing)

and "Torinaoshi"(=re-bout).

I think Baruto had time to reflect his startng at first bout.

Baruto did a good "Tachiai" with low and quick stepping.

Aminishiki could not do anything this time.

Baruto still has a chance to get "Yousho"

sekiwake BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI maegashira#6

関脇　把瑠都○（押し出し）×安美錦 前頭六枚目

10 wins 3 loses.

Even if Asashoryu gets "Yusho",if Baruto continues to win, 3loser will be ranked second position of race.

This is important.

Day13 vs Aminishiki (Kyusu-Basho 2009 Nov)

sekiwake BARUTO ○(KOTENAGE)× AMINISHIKI maegashira #1

7 wins 6 losses

Baruto's Kotenage is very mere.

Needless to say,Kotenage Player is ozeki Kaio.

If Baruto does this submission like a Kiao's Kotenage,opponet's elbow will be broken,hahaha.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Upper ranker's result and video Day13

Day7 vs Aminishiki (Kugatsu-Basho 2009 Sep)

Komusubi Aminishiki is a top Kinboshi holder of defeating Asashoryu.

Yesterday Aminishiki slightly defeated Asashoryu.

Aminishiki is not a easy wrestler for Baruto to defeat.

Baruto vs Aminishiki (Click to YouTube HD)

Baruto in this tournament is gaining new style.

It is rushing forward quickly without belt grabbing.

"Ottuke" is also remarkably efficient.

Today Baruto showed very aggressive rushing sumo.

Aminishiki could not do anything.

uuuuumm,Baruto!

You can reach to Ozeki if you master this style,I am convinced.

komusubi BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI komusubi

5 wins 2 looses.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ozeki Kotooshu and Kotomitsuki belong to same stable(=HEYA) SADOGATAKE.

Both ozekis have been thought to be too kind and too gentle to be Yokozuna.

But they had changed their fights after last tournament.

We felt their mind had changed.

Newspapers said they did "Keiko"(=daily exercise) almost double quantity.

They are aiming to be Yokozuna from bottom of their hearts,I think.

So we can not neglect their bouts.

Kotomitsuki got 7th win today (Click to YouTube HD)

But Kotooshu lost today (Click to YouTubeHD)

Baruto has not fought against them yet.

You don't miss it!!

(whole bouts today are you can watch from this click)

Day3 vs Aminshiki (Nagoya-Basho 2009 July)

Baruto's starting has two problems.

One is a high waist position.

Second is "Waki ga amai".

Waki ga amai is a kind of techical word in Sumo.

Waki means arm pit.

Amai means to loose to do something.

it is difficult to say in English.

In starting,a wrestler should close his arms tightly.

But Baruto sometims makes his arm opened loosely.

In this case,an opponent easily get his position to win.

maegashira #3 BARUTO ×(OSHIDASHI)○ AMINISHIKI maegashira #5

2wins 1 loss

Day9 vs Aminishiki (Gogatsu-Basho 2009 May)

Today's opponent AMINISHIKI was Maegashira #1 ranker,30years old,185cm tall and 144kg.

Skillful wrestler.

Baruto rushed forward but his waist position was very high and his steping way was not good.

Sumo wrestles should step without hopping.

"Suri-Ashi" is the best.

Aminishiki was pushed but was changing his body to right with pushing "Hidari-Dashinage" Baruto.

Almost same time.

But Referee called Aminishiki as a winner.....

Rushing forward is good.

But Starting and rushing should be lower....Baruto.

I guess his knee and ankle is not good condition.

sekiwake BARUTO  ×(UWATEDASHINAGE)○ AMINISHIKI  maegashira #1

3wins 6 losses.

Baruto will fight against Yokozuna ASASHORYU tomorrow.

OK, we know which will be a winner.

BARUTO will !!!

Cheer up ,BARUTO!

Day4 vs Aminishiki(Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Aminishiki is Komsubi ranker.
Aminshiki won Yokozuna Hakuho at first day of this tournament.



Baruto showed skilfull fight.
His left pushed tightly Aminishiki's right arm.
Aminishiki had no chance .

Perfect!!!!

BARUTO ○(OSHIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI

2wins 2 losses.

Day13 vs Aminishiki (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

In this tournament,Baruto's score was 2wins 7losses at 9th day.

If he lost more,it meant he lost his Komusubi position in the next tournament.

But he has continued to get win after 10th day!!!

How is today?
