Kitataiki means North(="kita") Big(="tai") Tree(="ki").
Kitataiki belongs to Kitanoumi stable.
Kitanoumi is former "Rijicho" of "Sumo Kyokai" and legend Yokozuna in 70's.
Anyway Kitataiki is not a tricky type.

Baruto started to grip belt,not pushing.
And got right outside grip easily.
Baruto could control Kitataiki movemnet and throw him completely.

Complete win!!

Baruto reached to "Kachikoshi"(= over 8 wins) by straight wins.
This is Baruto's first time.

Ozeki Baruto W(UWATENAGE)L Kitataiki Maegashira #3

8 wins 0 losses.

Tomorrow Baruto meets Takayasu Maegashira#3.
I think Takayasu is not easy opponent.

Day7 vs Kitataiki (Tech-Exam 2011 May)

Day7 Baruto meets 1-5 Maegashira #3 Kitataiki.

How do you think Baruto's sumo in this touranment?

The starting is still high position but his stepping forward is very quick.

This is his good motin inthis tournament.

Kitataiki tied change at the starting.

But Baruto's rushing pressure did not allow Kitataiki changed.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× KITATAIKI Megashira #3

6 wins only 1 lost.

Day8 vs Kitataiki (Kyushu-Basho 2010 Nov)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kyushu-Basho Day8 (="Naka-bi")

Baruto has Maegashira #3 Kitataiki.

Kitataiki means "Kita"(=north) "Tai"(=big) "Ki" (=tress)

Kitataiki means North big tree.

He is from Tokyo.

So North sounds something strange.

Do you know why?

The answer is Kitataiki belongs to stable "Kitano-umi-Beya".

His master is former great Yokozuna and former leader of "Sumo Kyokai" "KITANO-UMI".

Baruto pressed the opponent with full power.

Stepping work was still "Batabata".

Baruto's aggressive attitude to push away Kitataiki after passing the edge was very mere for him.

I felt Baruto was getting better day by day.

7 wins 1 lose.

Come on,Baruto!!!

By the way,Kitataiki was pushed away (="Dame-dashi") yesterday by Hakuho....

Kitataiki's attitude made opponent irritated,didn't he?

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.
