2024-09-17 01:45:43 +0000 UTCI especially love it when Ura comes in and wins with a simple move forward strategy. Shows he's a strong and well rounded sumo wrestler that doesn't only get wins with tricky moves. He's in the upper ranks for a reason. The pink mawashi is just to make homophobes underestimate him.

2024-09-16 16:54:39 +0000 UTCUnfortunately Kotozakura still seems to be a bit rough around the edges - not yet ready for Yokozuna but may never be ready as an 'eternal' Ozeki! Ura does it again, pulling the winning rabbit out of the proverbial hat! Got to love it! And also admire the depth of his kimarite! Although nothing exotic needed today!

2024-09-16 16:14:04 +0000 UTCYeah, Ura does have his unique style of fighting. But let's be clear, given his extensive injury history, any match should be a joy for him!

2024-09-16 15:18:03 +0000 UTCUra always seems to have a smile on his face, even when he loses. I think that's why people like him so much. He definitely seems to be one of the most popular rikishi among non-Japanese people too. Kinboshi worth about 240000 yen/yr, according to what I saw online, which is about $1700 at current rates.

2024-09-16 13:12:23 +0000 UTCI personally appreciate Ura because he's such a showman, you never know whats he gonna do in the ring. On top of that, he's always happy, wether winning or losing.
