The traditional umbrellas really put it over the top, they looked cool, larger than life.
The respect and love that the Japanese people have for their Sumo wrestlers is always something special to see.
Takekasho making sure his bun looks good! But so sad no Tochinochin!
Takakeisho ;)
Them all have awesome aura.
Just 3 years ago, but so many already retired: Yoshikaze, Gagamaru, Orora, Takayoshitoshi. Surely, Ikioi is going to retire soon, having dropped to makushita.
I just ran across this video tonight and just had to watch it. As a fan of this great sport, I really enjoyed it.
2:01 he was saying :"wow, it's so cold"
I would love to see these guys in real life one day, until then I can only image the aura that surrounds them
I visited Tokyo. It was freakishly clean and I loved it.
How does Orora fit in a taxi???
"Wrestling is ballet with violence" - Ventura
I think he was referring to pro wrestling
It would be nice to know the song used here, it's pretty smooth.
What a wonderful short film!
1:04 Im always sad when I see Ōrora. Hes retired now and I hope he loses about 350 pounds ASAP.
He was too fat to fight.
He had no equilibrium
The best rikishi are never too fat
@@petezm I agree. The greatest are skill based. Harumafuji was both smaller and lighter than most, but he was incredibly skilled. Hakuho isnt the heaviest, although he is very tall. I dont think that gets enough recognition. He can use his long arms to keep opponents at bay.
@@brodhax6148 exactly!
People often forget about equilibrium and used to focus just on weight.
For example, asashoryu had a medium weight (for some he was a lightweight) and was virtually unbeatable.
Hakuho is heavier than asashoryu, but he still lighter than much other rikishi and used to win everyone.
I think its because 2 main reasons:
1) they know mongolian wrestling (very similar to sumo, but without a dohyo. It means you must throw your opponent to win). With that, they know how to break opponet's balance to throw them or to force them out.
2) they have balanced bodies (weight and height). Both (hakuho and asashoryu) are heavy guys, but not too heavy. Their weight don't disturb their balance and explosiveness.
You see guys VERY fat that can't do anything. People think they have future in sport but in reality they don't. To have a future, they need to lose weight and gain explosiveness.
Ex: a guy with 185 cm should weight AT MOST 150 kg. (Sorry but in my country we dont use pounds but kilos. And we dont use feet but centimetres, so for me its easier to think using those)
@@petezm I wish Ichinojo had a shred of competitive fire, he would unbelievable. I remember 2 tournaments ago when he went 14-1, he was a monster. Hes a good example of a really heavy guy, who also has great balance. The problem with Ichinojo is he has no heart. Hes not a warrior.
Tochinoshin is another favorite. Hes very frustrating because hes so inconsistent. Tochinoshin is arguably the strongest rikishi in Sumo. He is SO POWERFUL. But hes one who has balance problems.
@@brodhax6148 yeah
Ichinojo has the tools to be great, but his personality is really shy. It seems he doesnt want to win it all, just being in the makuuchi division is ok. He enjoys the rikishi life and he's ok with no championship since he continues with his beloved routine.
And Tochinoshin...really really poweful! But as you said, inconsistent.
Hope he gets 12+ wins next tournament!
Very well made.
Beautiful umbrellas
0:13 what are name this sumo wrestler?
Sokokurai, he is retired and owns a sumo stable now as coach Arashio.
@@Fuu_Sho thank you 😘
oh lawd they arriving
They look so cool
Behind the scenes of Baki Dou
Lmao I started getting fascinated with Sumo after reading the last chapter.
Scott Kim i recommend reading hinomaru sumo then, that got me into sumo, really good manga
Who is 0:11 ?
Sokokurai
I wish to becoming a sumo
Go for it!
Cool!
They come from all walks of life.
معلمة وآخر ابها
Ah so cool!
1:27 = Alahokanora Bundora!!! (Steak dinner to whoever gets this)
En que carro tan gacho llego takakeisho🤣
In the beginning when they are bowing what are the saying? Good morning???
I don't know for sure, but I think it's just a respectful way of saying hello, used along with a bow.
Don't know how to spell it but it's like they say at restaurants "thank you for being here".
Igor Guerrero ... got it. Thank you
Bompp1 got it. Thank you
@@kleigh6784 Igor is not correct, they are actually saying a very abbreviated Ohayou Gozaimasu, which when dudes are talking, especially in sports, gets shorter and shorter until it sounds like they're saying, Ossu basically - its just a polite way of saying Good Morning basically.
The word Igor was talkin about is Irrasshaimase which means welcome.
I love sumo 🥰
Can only sekitori wear hakama?
Wow sumo))
Where are the Yokozuna?
These guys are worshiped in Japan, and they're arriving in cabs..
they cant own cars of their own
Takakeisho
一般人と交わっている力士達、彼らがいかに巨漢であるかが実感できる
hehe maybe if takekeisho had a van instead of a taxi his knees wouldn't have trouble
They still aren't allowed to drive right?
Is it a traditional kimono?
Or do they wear a special kimono only for rikishi?
For rikishi only.
its called a yukata
No, not special to rikishi.
They wear yukata (made of cotton instead of silk, and wear no Nagajuban underneath to layer) and that's the same as what we the regular people wear for summer festivals (bon odori).
Some rikishi you see in this video wear kimono ensemble with Haori jackets, or Hakama (skirt looking bottom) and Haori. Hakama style is considered to be more formal.
All those, Yukata, Kimono, Hakama, and Haori are tailored the same way as how the regular people would wear.
By the way, rikishis gift each other with their stable or sumo name customary dyed on their yukata fabric. So you see rikishi walking around wearing yukata embellished with their friends stable name.
Louis san😏
