I am only a fan of Baruto.

But I am really happy he has gotten Emperor's Cup at last.

I believe he becomes Yokozuna and is to be memorized his name as a new type sumoyori than ever before.

Day15 Hakuho vs Baruto (Hatsu-Basho 2012 Jan)

2012-01-22T21:31:00.002+09:00

平成２４年　大相撲　初場所　千秋楽　両国国技館。

2012 Jan Grand Sumo Tournament Hatsu-Basho Day15 (final day).

Baruto(14-0) has Yokozuna Hakuho(12-3) today final day.

Baruto has beaten Hakuho 3 times in all 22 bouts.

But Baruto has beaten Hakuho 2 times in these 5 tournaments.

I think the reason why Baruto has reached to the top in this tournament,originated in the bout Baruto beat Yokozuna in last 2011 Nov tournament.

Its bout consists in Baruto improvement.

Quick attack
Not quitting attack
Controlling opponent neck
Heavy and well-target pushing
Good step work
"Haze Oshi"(pushing opponent armpit)
Good reaction(not think much) and move instinctively

Baruto has to win to complete in "Zensho Yusho"(=no losses victory).

Hakuho has to show Yokozuna pride.

44 flags for prize.

(winner gets all prize.one flag=￥50,000-. total ￥2,200,000-)

Baruto selected both arm pushing.

I think Hakuho positioned in farer than usual.

Hakuho seemed to expect Baruto pushing.

And Hakuho used his trunk softly and absorbed Baruto power.

Hakuho gripped Baruto left arm and did "Tottari"(=using leverage power).

Baruto was unbalansed and was fixed by Yokozuna's "Hidari Yotsu"(=left inside and right outside grip).Baruto could not grip belt.

Baruto attacked by left sukuinage but Hakuho finalized this bout.

I think Hakuho sumoed logically.

Baruto W(YORIKIRI)L Hakuho

14 wins 1 defeat.

I think Baruto will begin in this defeats for stepping up to next stage.

2012 Grand Sumo Tournament Day13 at Ryougokokugikan.

Baruto(12-0) meets Kotoshogiku(7-5).
Kotoshogiku who is in second tournament after Ozeki promotion, lost his sumo.
I think he had to be appeared to Media many times after last tournament.
He is lack of "Keiko"(=training).

Record is Baruto 17 wins against Kotoshogiku only 3 wins.
Baruto has beat 6 times per last 6 tournaments.
Baruto beat Kotoshogiku by Yorikiri in 2011 Nov tournament.

10 flags were appeared.
Baruto started with "Haridashi"(=slap).
And soon got his favorite style "Hidari Yotsu"(=left inside right outside grips).
Baruto outside grip was positioned far.
It meant it was hard to lift up opponent.
But Baruto lifted up Kotoshogiku!!
It was amazing.

Baruto lifted up and down and made Kotoshogiku lost balance and threw Kotoshogiku completely by left inside.

Baruto this tournament never quits his attacking.

Baruto W(SHITATENAGE)L Kotoshgiku
13-0

If Hakuo vs Kotoshu ends Kotooshu win,Baruto decides title of Makuuchi division.

Baruto 13-0

Baruto is the champion of Makuuchi division of this tournament !!!

Congratulation!!!!! You got Championship of Makuuchi Division First Time!!

2012-01-20T20:53:00.004+09:00

Dear Baruto zeki

Congratulations on your first "Yusho"(=championship) of Makuuchi division!

Estonian first sumotori Ozeki Baruto has reached to the top.

Now we can not believe we can say "Omedetou"(=congratulation) on your "Yusho".

But this is true.

Thank you very much.

We are encouraged by your sumo.

Sumo lost much Japanese confidence last year.

And we Japanese lost much by last year huge earthquake.

But sumo give us much power.

Do you know a lot of Japanese return to watch Sumo TV program.

We know you had been preparing for Hatsu-Basho to get first tittle.

We learn much trough your sumo in this tournament.

Perseverance brings you power.

We can not imagine your everyday effort but we feel you have change yourself.

Sumo is the home base of Japanese soul.

It is not a problem wherever sumotori comes from.

You moves Japanese.

It is true.

I heard a lot of Japanese spectaculars shouted and called your name in Kokugikan.

Even if you "henka" to Kisenosato yesterday,maybe you did not hear,a lot of Japanese called your name and clapped hands in your going back behind.

(Media reported much "go back call" but it was only a few,I know)

Japanese loves you and your sumo.

Because you are a real sumotori reached to Emperor's Cup.

Best regards,

Chuchai

as represent of Japanese and sumo fans.

Day12 Baruto vs Kisenosato (Hatsu-Basho 2012 Jan)

2012-01-20T01:31:00.000+09:00

平成２４年　大相撲　初場所　第１２日目　両国国技館　
2012　Grand Sumo Tournament Hatsu-Basho Day12.

Baruto(11-0) meets New Ozeki Kisenosato(9-2) today.
Baruto has defeated Kisenosato 17 times but only been defeated 3times.
Baruto continues 6 straight wins against Kisenosato.

The reason why Baruto has won a one-side is that their bout tend to be a power vs power fair one.And Baruto has overwhelmed Kisenosato completely.

But Kisenosato is improving.
I think Baruto feels it.
Last 2011 Nov. tournament,
Baruto showed us the differences in their ability.

What about today's bout?

As I said on my archives yesterday,I was in Kokugikan in this moment.
My seat was "Sajiki"(=Japanese style box seat) category A West.

I could feel their real fight.

They needed couple of time before start.
Kisenosato set his position at a little bit farer than usual.
I thought Kisenosato would start with full power.

I think Baruto felt it and their timing was not so good.

Baruto felt and moved quickly in a moment and shifted left and pulled down Kisenosato head by both arms.

Their bout finished in a second.

Baruto won!!

Spectaculars in Ryougokukokugikan could not react soon.

I think they had imagined power to power sumo.
But the bout they did was something tricky sumo.

But I was deeply moved.
Because Baruto sumoed instinctly.
New Baruto is breaking with old Baruto.

Baruto has never started "Henka" against Kisenosato.
Kisenosato had not imagined this "Henka" motion so he started with over rush and head down.
Baruto only reacted Kisenosato optimistic start.

I think Baruto this tournament sumoes very occasionally.
I think it is good.
Today's bout is very symbolistic new baruto sumo in a sense.

Baruto has reached to 12 wins.
3 days are left.

Someone says "Henka" is not a good sumo.

It means "Henka" is tricky.
But I think ,"the true reason of "Henka" habit is bad" is ,,,,,"Henka" sometimes break basic sumo skill.
Sumotori(=sumo wrestler) is facing to themselves everyday to skill up and sharpen their mind.

"Henka" sometimes leads Sumotori to easy way to win.
It is counter part of sumo.

But today's Baruto case is quite different.

We Baruto manias love you and are eager to watch you to get Emperor's Cup.

Ozeki Baruto W(HATAKIKOMI)L Kisenosato

Baruto meets first Ozeki opponent Harumafuji today.

Past records between them is 10 wins' Baruto to 12 wins' Harumafuji.

Baruto was defeated in last 2011 Nov tournament by Yoritaoshi.

Baruto selected double arms pushing and launched high speed pushing.

Pushing form was very beautiful.

Elbows were extended and sent full power to Harumafuji.

Baruto seemed to be gotten right shoulder injury yesterday but it did not influenced him today.

The distance was good.

Baruto targeted to Harumafuji's chin and let Harumafuji's head and body up.

Perfect win!

"Suriashi" Steps work made Baruto stable though a little bit high waist position.

Ozeki Baruto W(OSHITAOSHI)L Harumafuji Ozeki

Still leader of this tournament.

Baruto has Ozeki Kisenosato tomorrow.

Baruto has 12 wins 4 defeats record to Toyonoshima.
Baruto was defeated by Toyonoshima in las November tournament.

Baruto started in "Haridashi" and gripped right outside easily.
Baruto did not give Toyonoshima time to think and threw by right outside with locking Toyonoshima neck by left hand.
Baruto completely turned up Toyonoshima.

I think Baruto sumoes rythmically and automatically in this tournament.
10 straight wins is same record as 2010 spring tournament one which Baruto made Ozeki promotion.

Thank you for posting many comments!!
I welcome your comments and let Baruto cheer up with your comments,please.

Everybody knows Baruto this tournament sumoes well.
8 straight wins are his first time record.
Baruto seems to think "Yusho" is not the point.
Baruto keeps concentrating on every bout.
And this is why his sumo is getting better.

Maegashira #3 Takayasu is first met by Baruto.
Takayasu markes 4-4.
His stable is Naruto Beya which is same stable as Ozeki Kisenosato.
He is a pusher.He showed a good pushing yesterday against Yokozuna.

Baruto started with pushing.
Step works were very nice.
It made his pushing effective.
Baruto targeted to Takayasu breast completely.

Perfect win.

I had mentioned Baruto should step with "Suriashi" and attack with low waist position.

His step work today was perfect.
His waist position looks still high but now his waist position fits on his attacking .
style.

After bout,Baruto took care of his right arm.
I wonder he got injury...

Ozeki Baruto W(TSUKIDASHI)L Takayasu Maegashira #3.

9 wins o defeats.

Tomorrow Baruto has Toyonoshima.
Toyonoshima has very soft trunk and is good at "Inashi".
Opponent is getting stronger.

Baruto,,keep on relaxing!

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.

Day7 Baruto vs Kakuryu (hastu-Basho 2012 Jan)

2012-01-15T12:27:00.001+09:00

大相撲　初場所　第７日目。両国国技館。
Grand Sumo Tournament Hastu-Bahso day7. 2012/1/14.

Baruto(6-0) has Sekiwake Kakuryu(5-0).
Kakuryu is Ozeki candidate.
If he marks 14-0 in this tournament,he can pass 33 wins.
In Kisenosato's 32 wins case,Kakuryu need appeal to overcome upper rankers.
Kakuryu this tournament has already fought against 2 ozekis.
He defeated Ozeki Harumafuji and was defeated by Kisenosato.
I think today Kakuryu make his fight meaninfull.

Total victory!!!

Baruto got right outside grip and its position was good.
Baruto rushed immediately.

Kakuryu tried to counter left "Sukui Nage" with his arm up (="Kaina wo Kaesu") to dis-power Baruto left power. But Kakuryu could not stop Baruto"s force.

7 straight iwns!
