Hello, and thank you for tuning in to SUMO PRIME TIME. Before we delve into our latest edition, we want to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for watching Tochinoshin’s retirement ceremony, which we covered earlier this month. The show has already been viewed over 400,000 times, and the number continues to rise day by day. As I mentioned during the broadcast, we hold nothing but respect and gratitude for the Georgian sumo hero and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors. Shifting our focus to our latest feature, which highlights a sumo hero from Mongolia embarking on a new endeavor. In late December, former Yokozuna Kakuryu assumed the role of Stablemaster Otowayama and founded his own sumo stable, located not far from the Kokugikan. Despite currently having only four disciples under his guidance, this latest addition to the sumo stablemasters is committed to nurturing sumo champions, much like himself. I've known Kakuryu for a long time, and one admirable aspect of the man is that he hasn't changed a bit. He remains the same calm and collected gentleman I met two decades ago. My gut feeling tells me that he's destined to become a very successful stablemaster and will raise strong and popular rikishi in the not-too-distant future. We hope you enjoy the show featuring Stablemaster Otowayama!
I have a Question do Sumo-wrestler work along with Sport-scientists and Physiotherapists to keep them healthy and exercise to their specific needs or not at all ? Thank you very much
@@fight-heart5555I believe this practice is being started recently. The importance of physiotherapy in professional sumo, just like any other sports, was highlighted in the Graduate School thesis written by Nishonoseki Oyakata, the 72nd Yokozuna Kisenosato.
Indeed. Not sure whether he would say the same if he could fetch amateur champions like Miyagino and Nishonoseki but at least in paper it's interesting.
It echos what a lot of new coaches are saying across all sports. New players want to know why they should do something rather than simply being told to do it and obeying it. It seems to be working very well in other sports so I’m curious how it will work in sumo.
@hithere5005 That's how we do it at the Phoenixville Sumo Club ... always What, How, and Why. The Why part is important because once they understand the Why ... the what and how come easily' It also helps o build a Sumo intelligence. We have found ways to show the Why so that it is clear.
He is humble because out of all the Mongolian Yokozunas, he's the one that took the knot through sheer hardwork and intellect. Talent-wise he's the most average out of the 5. Which also means that he'll probably become the best teacher amongst the Mongolian Yokozunas. If Asashoryu is Mike Tyson and Hakuho is Ali, then Kakuryu is the Wladimir Klitschko of Sumo.
Kakuryu seems like such a gentle, wise soul. I hope he leads his young recruits to glory. I do appreciate not just asking softball questions, but digging deeper into the existential issues for sumo such as the diminishing number of recruits. Kakuryu is right that sumo needs to take care of all its rikishi after retirement, even those who don't make it to the paid ranks. For every top tier rikishi there are dozens who never touch the salaried ranks.
Apparently of all the foreign born wrestlers and ex-wrestlers, Kakuryu speaks the most fluent Japanese and doesn't have a noticeable accent. Just what I was told by some Japanese fans
Yes, not only that but grammatically, he speaks Japanese no different from a native speaker. Most foreign-born Rikishi's grammar largely revolves around Sumo terms.
I was thinking this exact thing while i was listening to him speak. He sounds like a native Japanese. His personality certainly suits Japanese culture the most of any foreign born rikishi too.
He seems to be the perfect oyakata. Explaining the reasons behind things is the best way to teach. He seems patient, understanding and kind. Ex-Kakuryu is my favorite yokozuna!
I really like Otowayama's approach to teaching, and I appreciate his down-to-earth and humble attitude about his new endeavors. I wish him great success.
Kakuryu was a great Yokozuna and it looks like he is well on his way to being a successful stablemaster. He has the right attitude and demeanor, and the knowledge to teach his disciples the correct way to be Sumo professionals. Good luck to all of his disciples.
Kakuryu really knows whats important for young guys wanting to join sumo and what needs to be corrected in training, explaining things carefully, attention to each individual, what career paths they will have after sumo, this seems like a great master. That invite to join his stable was tempting 😂
because its huge in all sports! in general lifting you're taught the same. we may put our bodies through different stresses but our body mechanics remain the same!
And that Takeuchi kid, its already tough moving away from parents at 18 and such, i cant imagine how it is to do that at his young age, i will def be supporting him to suceed. 頑張って竹内さん
Otowayama is so down to earth and humble, especially considering how much he achieved in his amazing career. “I didn’t expect him to read my email and come to my hometown” says it all. The former Grand Champion made the trip because he has a vision and knows only action makes dreams come true. Total Legend.
I like his philosophy a lot. He isn t all about strength and put lot of emphasis on human side of Sumo. I hope his stable will be successful for a long time.
I love Kakuryu, i feel like hes going to become an incredible stablemaster as well. I would love to see a follow-up video to the Otowayama stable in a year or so with all the new rikishi he plans on taking in!
Nice coverage Hiro ! Long way to go , a few more years, and looks very good! Please Hiro update us on how it's growing and progressing in the near future! Great to know of these fresh developments in sumo !! Hiro , thank you very much my friend, see you soon , sumo prime time!!❤😊😊
I recently found myself infatuated with Japanese culture and particular Sumo. I want to say a big thank you, as an English speaker, for the excellent coverage and presentation. It's just what I was looking for and I look forward to more videos just like this!
The great Yokozuna Kakuryu-san. I am impressed by his belief that he wants young wrestlers to not only become stronger as rikishi, but also to grow as human beings.
Hey seems like a very intelligent and empathic guy, and I hope he will not only teach them how to win matches, which he certainly can, but also how to be responsible adults.
It sounds like he is off to a good start. I like his attitude toward his young rikishi, treating them with kindness and clear guidance. It's cool that they all eat together. (Also, getting a great chanko chef is half the battle. No one wants to eat bad food.) I wonder if he will institute a continuing education program? I think there are a couple of stables that encourage their youngsters to finish high school. It will be interesting to see what happens if, as I expect, most or all of Michinoku beya's rikishi join Otowayama beya after Michinoku closes in March. Not only will their numbers increase, but they'll most likely have an Ozeki among their numbers. Michinoku also has two coaches. I hope that Otowayama-san can manage the abrupt shift in dynamics.
I think it's great to have a man in a position of power within sumo such as a stablemaster be aware of some of the aspects of sumo that have not adapted well to more current times.
I just know Otowayama will produce technically great rikishi who will reach high ranks in sumo. Ten years from now, I will come back to read this comment and smile.
I heard that from retired Takatoriki in his channel . I'd be very happy to see that happening. I'd like to visit Kakuryu's stable next time I'm in Tokyo for a basho. May 2022 I visited Arashio stable and met Kotokuzan, hapa Filipino-Japanese. He dropped to Makushita last basho.😄
I just love stablemaster Otowayama!! He seems like a really good, decent, humble chap. He obviously puts thought into what he says, his actions reflects his words. An even keeled stablemaster, who takes individual care to each of his rikshi, thus would grow it to 20, so he can give individualized dirction and coaching. He is not a do as i say, not as i do kind of coach. He will coach by example. Love he doesn't onmt focus on sumo and winning but the overall development from teenagers to young men, who will represent the JSA. Forward thinking. Very smart reflective gentlemen. And hes a great singer too! I think he sings Frank Sinatra's, My Way, far better than ole blue eyes himself, in English! Talented, intelligent, humble, patient- what a gift to sumo and Japan ❤👍🙏arigato Yokozuna Kakuryu and Hiro San!! 👍😁
wrestlers who used their technics during their active career make better coach than those who depended on brute strength. Kakuryu will make a great coach.
I would like to wish Oyakata Otowayama the best of luck. I respect his methods of guiding these new young rikishi in their new lives. It is refreshing to hear how he intends to guide them with respect and not with bullying. I think more parents would be willing to turn their young ones over to Oyakata, who follow this method. I believe that sumo will experience a resurgence with more men like this guiding sumo. Ganbatte!
Once again you did it Hiro 👌 Interesting video , of Otowayama . Vise man , he will success with new rising talents🙏.New heya , all best luck to that and i keep my eyes open for thise boys . Hiro you are probably runner like me , 6:04 still important to strengt legs. Sumo keiko and shiko are best for that😂💪 6:55 i would fill my bowl cuilky
I'm quickly became enthralled with the sport of sumo after watching a Strength Unknown episode on Sumo. I hope to find a club/gym/organization stateside that will allow me to learn and train in the art.
Comparing this place to a larger, more established stable, I wonder whether the advantages or disadvantages dominate. In terms of atmosphere, this looks great - the hierarchy is not as strong, they all eat together, have no higher ranking rikishi to serve and get bullied by. They also get more of the stablemaster's attention - but at the same time, the lack of more experienced and varied training partners might make progress difficult after a certain point...
He is at an age where he can also show them many things even by engaging them directly. I remember that after he retired, Kisenosato was still the strongest rikishi in the stable and Takayasu could train with him but rarely could he beat Kisenosato.
this looks like a promising new stable.... I only saw Takeuchi fight in his debut in January, but if the other young recruits are of a similar level, one of them could very likely win a lower division championship during this year, maybe already in March....

Next to join is Karumafuji
don't forget Kakushoryu and Kakunosato
日本生まれ以上に日本の子の事、考えてしっかりしてる、、

Interesting to hear Kakuryu’s philosophy on training young recruits. I wish him and the wrestlers much success. He certainly was a great Yokozuna.

I admire how Kakuryu Yokozuna san has maintain his humbleness and self-control. I love his demeanor. As always, another excellent interview.

Which also means that he'll probably become the best teacher amongst the Mongolian Yokozunas. If Asashoryu is Mike Tyson and Hakuho is Ali, then Kakuryu is the Wladimir Klitschko of Sumo.

The problem also is the corruption and the envolment of the Yakuza.
Kakuryu is so humble and speaks very eloquently about his past and future. Hope that he gets to raise a sekitori in the near future!
九州場所でお見かけしましたけど…
本当に日本語がとても上手ですね
中身も外見も日本人と感じます
自分がまだ若かったらこの部屋だったら入門したかったと思うほどに
Apparently of all the foreign born wrestlers and ex-wrestlers, Kakuryu speaks the most fluent Japanese and doesn't have a noticeable accent. Just what I was told by some Japanese fans
Yes, not only that but grammatically, he speaks Japanese no different from a native speaker. Most foreign-born Rikishi's grammar largely revolves around Sumo terms.
@@TechJapanologyyes ! And deserves to be a stable master ! Excellent coverage Hiro ! Thank you very much!!❤😊
He is gifted that way. His English is not bad.
I was thinking this exact thing while i was listening to him speak. He sounds like a native Japanese. His personality certainly suits Japanese culture the most of any foreign born rikishi too.
If you’ve ever looked into his philosophy he’s very intelligent all around and will make an excellent oyakata
Long time Kakuryu fan
新弟子さんも入られてよかったです。鶴竜さんの座布団は現役時代に土俵下で出番待ちのときに使っていたやつですね。ベテラン力士の鋼さんは鶴竜さんの信頼する兄弟子でもあるんですよね。見事なお料理が実に素晴らしいです。みなさん応援しております。
元横綱・鶴竜さんのNHKの解説を聞いて、本当に驚きました。洗練した完璧な日本語を駆使した的確な解説だったからです。「相撲協会に恩返しできる人材の育成」「挨拶も掃除も普通にこなし、他者を思いやり、敬う人格の陶冶(とうや)の確立」のようなことを述べていました。この親方の人格的な素晴らしを十分知ることができました。今後の活躍と部屋の発展を祈ります。
相撲と関係ない話になりますが、鶴竜の話し方が凄い好きです。こんなに穏やかにポイントを逃さず話す人って日本人でもそんなにいない気がします。こんな風に話せるようになりたいです❣
関わったことがある人みんなが、「鶴竜さんは本当に優しい！」といっているのがよくわかる。白鵬の影に隠れてた感があるけど、鶴竜は言葉遣い、声のトーン、考え方、ほかの親方とは一線を画すと思う。知識もその教え方も。「モンゴルの人は」「外国出身者は」という差別意識がある人は、一度見てほしい。
鶴竜横綱が最近の横綱で１番好きだわ！
良い親方になってほしい(*´ω｀*)
優しいもん！本当良い人だと思う。
The former yokozuna is going to be a great coach! His Humility and experience will be good for these young men.
He seems to be the perfect oyakata. Explaining the reasons behind things is the best way to teach. He seems patient, understanding and kind. Ex-Kakuryu is my favorite yokozuna!
I really like Otowayama's approach to teaching, and I appreciate his down-to-earth and humble attitude about his new endeavors. I wish him great success.
Kakuryu was a great Yokozuna and it looks like he is well on his way to being a successful stablemaster. He has the right attitude and demeanor, and the knowledge to teach his disciples the correct way to be Sumo professionals. Good luck to all of his disciples.
横綱って強いだけじゃないんだな、、
人として成長させてるくれる親方が素晴らしいと思います。
I feel like Kakuryu's career was overshadowed a bit by Hakuho. To be able to compete with the GOAT really says something.
*Hakuho
But you have a good point
@@ProjectMathesar yes, was a typo!
Not just Hakuho but Harumafuji and the competition amongst sanyaku was high during their time aswell. Man, such a great time those early 2010s.
@@BRPJR In my opinion, Asashoryu gave a certain direction to sumo and thanks to him, his younger colleagues learned a lot.
Kakuryu really knows whats important for young guys wanting to join sumo and what needs to be corrected in training, explaining things carefully, attention to each individual, what career paths they will have after sumo, this seems like a great master. That invite to join his stable was tempting 😂
The thing about the squatting alignment is also huge in ballet. And it's so unexpected hearing the same thing from such an entirely different sport XD
because its huge in all sports! in general lifting you're taught the same. we may put our bodies through different stresses but our body mechanics remain the same!
it is important literally every time you bend your knees, you can hurt them if you pick stuff from the floor wrong and it would linger forever
And that Takeuchi kid, its already tough moving away from parents at 18 and such, i cant imagine how it is to do that at his young age, i will def be supporting him to suceed. 頑張って竹内さん
He's got his brother there, at least.
If I were 10 years younger, I would love to join this stable. Sumo is a beautiful sport and achieving the rank of Yokozuna is a beautiful feat.
It was delightful, and enlightening, to hear the words of a former Yokozuna.
Thank you for sharing this.
Otowayama is so down to earth and humble, especially considering how much he achieved in his amazing career. “I didn’t expect him to read my email and come to my hometown” says it all.

Good luck to kakuryu and his new stable , his students will have a great instructor and role model.
Yokozuna demeanor is so cool
I wish him and the stable much success in near future.
Great stuff, Hiro! Kakuryu is such a thoughtful and interesting man. I wish his new heya many future successes.
Kakuryu is a great personality! Very modest and intelligent man! Good luck!❤❤❤
This was fantastic thank you sumo prime time.
many thanks, gentlemen
how beautiful, and instructive
(big score, hiro! oyokata shows to be a champ, on dohyo _and_ off)
What a great interview.
He has the right attitude to be a teacher to his students. If you can teach the "why" then students retain knowledge so much better.
Love the video. Love to see more Kakuryu. Love the Genghis Khan picture on the wall.
Fascinating interview, Hiro. As a westerner I love learning more of Sumo and Japanese culture. This was very insightful.
Thank you.
Otowayama Master's
Japanese is just amazing. He sounds so natural and his choice
of words is always elegant and beautiful.
That was a great interview.
大変面白かったです！！
色々な相撲部屋を巡ってインタビューして欲しいです！
Thank you SUMO PRIME TIME.
Thank you HIRO!!!
Amazing Yokozuna, great human being and certainly a fantastic oyakata
His stable is going to be great. Watching his students in the January tournament showed how skilled of a stable master he is.
Nice coverage Hiro ! Long way to go , a few more years, and looks very good! Please Hiro update us on how it's growing and progressing in the near future! Great to know of these fresh developments in sumo !! Hiro , thank you very much my friend, see you soon , sumo prime time!!❤😊😊
Kakuryu was always one of my favorites. He was so very skilled. He could win so many ways. He’d be the guy I’d entrust my kids to.
Excellent content, as always!!!

I just love it. Great with all these details about the sumo. Thank you so much. Great work Hiro!
おお鶴竜やん！！

This is one of my favourite videos ever
Wish master Kakuryu and his Otowayama stable a very good luck and sucess in the near future!
Hiro, you are doing such an excellent job of this channel. So many thanks for all your hard work. Keep going!!
Hey seems like a very intelligent and empathic guy, and I hope he will not only teach them how to win matches, which he certainly can, but also how to be responsible adults.
Very excited for Kakuryu. Hope a Dai Yokozuna rises from this wonderful stable.

He has the spirit
Thank you for yet another peek behind the Sumo curtain.
This video deserves way more than 2.8K likes!
Mr. Unflappable. I hope those young warriors can hang in there and achieve success.
I just know Otowayama will produce technically great rikishi who will reach high ranks in sumo. Ten years from now, I will come back to read this comment and smile.
When Michinoku stable closes this year, it is expected that most if not all the Rikishi will be transferred here.
I certainly hope that Kirishima joins him. I believe that Kakuryu has contributed greatly to his success. We'll know after the March basho.
I heard that from retired Takatoriki in his channel . I'd be very happy to see that happening. I'd like to visit Kakuryu's stable next time I'm in Tokyo for a basho. May 2022 I visited Arashio stable and met Kotokuzan, hapa Filipino-Japanese. He dropped to Makushita last basho.😄
Kakuryu seems like the very best kind of Oyakata. Ganbatte! ✨
This was fantastic!
I really want to Kakuryu produce many good rikishi and go on to get a Ozekhi and even a Yokozuna. Good luck!
ちゃんこを食べるところが、黙々とみんな食べてるのには、親方の性格あらわれてるなと感じた。今度は、若衆がガツガツ美味しそうに食べてる絵が欲しいね。美味しそうじゃないもん。それと親方は、横綱になって人間が出来てるかもしれないけど宮城野部屋の北青鵬みたいに問題児も入ってくるだろうから、その指導で足を引っ張られないように気をつけて欲しい。そんなんで部屋閉鎖とか悲しいから。音羽山親方応援してますよ。頑張って下さい。
無自覚なんだろうけど、文章が偉そうだな
Wholesome!
love kakuryu ! 💪
I wish you only the best, Otowayama oyataka!
It was the "BEST" Sumo Prime Time" video due to Otowayama Oyakata's spirited character. 😊

Thanks for the inside scoop. The "Big 3" all train new rikishi very differently
I would like to wish Oyakata Otowayama the best of luck. I respect his methods of guiding these new young rikishi in their new lives. It is refreshing to hear how he intends to guide them with respect and not with bullying. I think more parents would be willing to turn their young ones over to Oyakata, who follow this method. I believe that sumo will experience a resurgence with more men like this guiding sumo. Ganbatte!
さすが学者の息子。理路整然とした話し方は本当に素晴らしい。
Gotta love a small stable
One of the greats during the golden age of Sumo!
Sumo is not a sport a follow. It is a sport I absolutely love. I don't know if that makes sense. I never want it to become obsolete.
Once again you did it Hiro 👌
Interesting video , of Otowayama . Vise man , he will success with new rising talents🙏.New heya , all best luck to that and i keep my eyes open for thise boys .
Hiro you are probably runner like me , 6:04 still important to strengt legs. Sumo keiko and shiko are best for that😂💪
6:55 i would fill my bowl cuilky
Kakuho and Hakuryu, the Pro Evo versions of Hakuho and Kakuryu.
Good luck to Kakuryu and to all his endeavors!
considering kakuryu and hakuho's relationship, it'd be nice if they will hold inter stable sessions in the future.
what a nice man
I'm quickly became enthralled with the sport of sumo after watching a Strength Unknown episode on Sumo. I hope to find a club/gym/organization stateside that will allow me to learn and train in the art.
