Musashikuni Mamu completed the second basho of 2019, the Haru Basho, and he did alright. This is the same exact opening sentence that I used for the post on Wakaichirō Ken in the Haru Basho, because both rikishi finished with 3-4 records. I predicted that Musashikuni would finish with a 4-3 record, so I wasn't... Continue Reading →

Hatsu Basho 2019 Results – Musashikuni Mamu
Musashikuni Mamu finished his basho performance on Day 14, and he was so close to making me look like a fortune teller. Before the basho, I predicted that Musashikuni would finish with a 4-3 record.

Hatsu Basho 2019 Results – Wakaichirō Ken
Wakaichirō Ken finished his Hatsu Basho 2019 performance on Day 13, and my prediction was correct! Before the basho, I predicted that Wakaichirō would finish with a 5-2 record, and he did!

Kyushu Basho 2018 Results – Wakaichirō Ken
Wakaichirō Ken wrapped up his Kyushu Basho 2018 performance on Day 14. Unfortunately, it was his second 2-5 performance in a row.

Kyushu Basho 2018 Results – Musashikuni Mamu
Musashikuni Manu finished the Kyushu Basho 2018 on Day 13. To be honest, I didn't even know that Musashikuni was in the basho until day 5 or 6, because he sat out his first match due to injury. Well, I am happy that he decided to enter the basho late, because he finished with a... Continue Reading →

Aki Basho 2018 Results – Musashikuni Mamu
Musashikuni Mamu completed his Aki Basho 2018 performance on Day 14, finishing with a 3-4 record. His performance was pretty solid. I predicted that he would have a 4-3 record, with a chance of either a 5-2 or a 3-4 performance. It seems that luck unfortunately veered him toward the latter outcome. Of course, I'm...
