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 vs Kotomitsuki (Haru-Basho 2009 March)

Baruto has ability to fight against upper rankers evenly.
You can see his bouts against Yokzuna Hakuho,Asashoryu and understand what I meant.
But Baruto this tournament could not express his fighting well.
That's why he has not got 8 wins yet.

Today's opponent Kotomitsuki .Kotomitsuki 4 wins Baruto only 1 win ,this is past result.
Baruto's last day opponent is a big wall.

Kotomitsuki is a Kadoban Ozeki (= last touranment he lost 8 over ,if he lost 8 over again in this tournament,he lost his Ozeki position) and he has already got 8 over wins.
It means this bout is 7 winsBaruto vs 8 wins Kotomistuki.

I thought this is the point of this bout.


All Baruto fans are waiting for this day Baruto gets Kachikoshi(=8wins over).
I can hear loud voice of all you fans now.
This bout had a really surprized ending.

I think junction to win or loose was spirit which one was eager to win.

Baruto! You are great !
Every fan of you are cheering everyday after you marked 7 losses.
We are now excited and feel so good!

sekiwake BARUTO ○(UWATENAGE)×　KOTOMITSUKI ozeki

Baruto! we are waiting new Baruto full of fighting spirits next tournament!

Day6 vs Kotomitsuki (Hatsu-Basho 2009 Jan)

Today's opponet is Ozeki Kotomitsuki who scored 4wins against Baruto until last tournaments.
But he is not well because of catching cold before this tournament.
Kotomitsuki scored 1 win 4 losses until yesterday.



Baruto's win !
Baruto has mastered his style to win.
This strength is real.
Got 6 wins continuously from first day.
This is his first time  to score 6 wins from first day in Makuuchi devision.

Tomorrow Baruto(6wins) will fight with Kotooshu(5wins-1losses).
Big fight!
All sumo fan feels excited from now.

sekiwake BARUTO ○(UWATENAGE)× KOTOMITSUKI ozeki

In the after fight interview,
He was asked " How do you fight against Kotooshu tomorrow?"
He answered " I will fight for fans to be happy!"

Day12 vs Kotomitsuki (Kyushu-Basho 2008 Nov)

Kotomitsuki is Ozeki ranker and he cored 9 wins 3 losses until yesterday.

Kotomitsuki knows how to bout with a big Rikishi(=wrestler).

sekiwake BARUTO ×(UWATEDASHINAGE)○

Baruto marked 4losses 8 wins.

Day5 vs Kotomitsuki (Kugatu-Basho 2008 Sep)

komusubi BARUTO ×(YORIKIRI)○ KOTOMITSUKI ozeki

The results after 5th day is 2wins3losses.

Day4 vs Kotomituki (Gogatu-Basho 2008)

Today's BARUTO  fought with Ozeki KOTOMITUKI.

KOTOMITUKI is really good Sumo-Tori(wrestler) in this age.

He has already reached to 32 years old.

I thought he could be a Yokozuna soon when he came to Maku-Uchi.

But he could not be,,,,the reason is that he is too kind and sweet to be a Yokozuna.

Anyway I thought he recieved Baruto boldly before this fight.

This match was nice .

 BARUTO should rush when he gripped with his right hand over to KOTOMITUKI's Mawashi(= belt).

BARUTO has a chance to win if he minds his style  to rush when he is in good style.

Do not hesitate to rush,BARUTO!!
