I watched this on TV while I was on a working holiday in London back in 1988. I started watching it in ignorance, for a laugh, but was soon totally converted to the brilliance that is Sumo.
I guess that was when I started watching sumo too then because I still remember this guy. As a smaller guy myself, I love giant killers and he was certainly one of those.
Channel 4 coverage was great, explaining the different techniques like oshi dashi. Really helped understand the not immediately obvious skill and technique involved. I wax hooked on it back then and still love the sport. Chiyonofuji was an absolute beast.
His speed and strength were essential to his success but most important was his incredible technique. Once he got ahold of your mawashi (belt around the waist), you were lost (like losing a pawn to Capablanca in chess).
@@mrbeanbigpeanus6875 not really, he just have less fat than other sumo so the muscle show more clearly, while most sumo have their muscle covered by fat.
@@liamdoes8580 It is not better. It is very important for sumo wrestlers to be not only big, but also to have a low center of gravity. Additionally, being heavier means you are harder to move and have more momentum behind your own movements. There are downsides to being _too_ heavy, which is well known in sumo, and at a "mere" 285 pounds Chiyonofuji was nowhere near that threshold. All this put together means the ideal frame for sumo is "pear shaped": heavy, and wider at the waist and hips than at the shoulders. If having big shoulders, a narrow waist and visible abs were the way to win, I assure you that all rikshi would be targeting that shape; that they don't tells us what we need to know about whether Chiyonofuji's relatively low body fat was a help or a hindrance.
@Jason Voorhees i dont know if you are joking or not, but he is just normal muscular, you can tell if someone using roid if they have gigantic shoulder muscle
The Mike Tyson of Yokuzuna's. He tended to attack his opponents side on & get them of balance & follow through by twisting them over with his overhand technique or jus forced or lifted them out. R.I.P Chiyonofuji Mitsugu (my introduction to Sumo Wrestling) amazing athlete.
Shout out to Tim Ferriss for sharing this video. I've previously never considered how physical, nuanced and straight-up interesting the sport is. Now 2 hours into a Sumo binge I am hooked...
He was a jacked sumo wrestler that used superior technique to dominate his opponents. I bet he spent an in ordinate amount of time pondering and contemplating about techniques. A legend and master
The man was just absolutely freakin' immobile. His explosive strength and speed was unreal, but the fact that he seemed to be able to root himself to the clay whenever he wanted to was borderline supernatural.
Facts! I saw an image of Chiyonofuji in a video thumbnail a few years back. He looked wild and intimidating, so I watched it and immediately started following sumo and have kept up ever since.
My Dad loved this guy. He was on the phone for hours trying to get tickets for the Royal Albert Hall when they came over for a tournament. No internet back then.
His reactions to his opponent's changes in balance are absolutely wild. So many of these wins he shifts from his 1st idea into his 2nd before they can possibly react.
greatest sumo wrestlers are always called human computers, taihou, the yokozuna 20 years earlier, was also said to have a computer serving as his brain
When i first moved to Japan 40 years ago, I stayed at the kyoto university of education guest house. Middle of winter there was no hot water. In the mornings i would do 30 or 40 push up to warm my body before washing up with freezing cold water. During the day i sat in my Tatami room and watched sumo. This is where i first learned of Chiyonofuji. He is the greatest Sumo tori in modern history. Akebono, hoshi, terao, konishiki, and others could not complete. 🎉🎉🎉🎉Yokozuna Chiyonofuji😊🎉.
I met sumo during pandemic and i was really impressed. Being greek i am familiar with greekroman wrestling and i do find a lot of similarities. Sumo wrestlers tend to be huge and Hakuho is the hell of a wrestling body. But really Chiyonofuji impressed me more. Because it most about the ability to transfer power than to be strong. Note the muscles of the middle body, stomach, side and backside, that give the impression of a stiff and almost rectangular column which connect the huge upper body muscles with the feet. Also note the lower feet how stiff, solid drawing corners, from the ankle to the knee. And then the mind has to remain clean and fast during all this huge effort. Being such a human is really one in a million case...
We lived in Japan the year Chiyonofuji had that streak. We found a little half busted TV thrown out that was green and white rather than color or black and white. It was our little midori box, and we loved the heck out of sumo digest and watching our hero win. We went to a tournament in Tokyo.
Thank you for compiling this in to 1 vid bob - the 3 parter was one of my most watched vids - pretty sure this will overtake it. This legend got me in to sumo, and i still love it. Thank you again.
His name was Terao. His tactic was to rush out and push and slap his opponents out of the dohyo rather than grapple. I used to love watching him, win or lose.
14:03 was the most intense for me. His opponent knew very well not to let Chiyonofuji get hold of his mawashi, but at 14:14 the wolf finally got that iron grip on it and it was the end.
If your new to the sport watch some of the sumo training videos , these guys are amazing athletes 120kg throwing 160kg guys out of the ring is amazing ,strength , technique , strategy , power.
Im just into sumo recently because of anime hinomaruzumo then i watch hakuho,kisenosato but then i found chiyonofuji,mannn this guy i hella beast,btw i love you vids bruvv,thanks for making this video
I was living in Japan during this streak ..... He is still my favorite Sumo of all time. I have his tegata (hand print) and signature...one of my most prized positions from Japan.
I saw him once in real life. He was wearing a suit with a crowd around him. While not overly tall, he had a breadth and depth to him that made everyone else appear to be in 2D. If you'd ever met that man's gaze, you'd know very well why he was called the wolf.
The fact he’s showing that much definition in his upper body muscles despite the body fat is testament to his strength and conditioning. Man was a straight up animal
Every video I've seen highlighting Chiyonofuji talks about his brute strength but I'm honestly just as impressed by his quickness. If he gets to the side or behind another rikishi then there's no hope.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe Chiyo was different he wasnt obese thats the main reason why sumo wrestlers have a shorter lifespan Chiyo was the perfect size yes he was Overweight but all that shit was solid ass muscle he was jacked he had the body many men dream of He had a Defensive NFL lineman's body
Always been a fan, not only did he have the skills and the best looking physique but he also had a face ! he is literally how I picture benkei looked like.
So stoic and reserved that you can’t tell from his expression if he had won or lost. Tremendous speed and strength, and finishes quickly once he establishes a left hand outside.
People called him small but I believe he had the perfect amount of muscle and Bodyfat for his height which what I believe made him so dominant a lot like Hakuho now.
But with an amazing quickness that even Hakuho can't match. If they existed in the same time-space, to be able to see them fight, Hakuho's height might have given him an edge against Chiyo, but then it might not have made any difference. It's a moot point, but enticing to contemplate.
What's crazy is that HE always seemed to fight as if he was the bigger man, as if he had the size and strength advantage, when that was hardly ever the case. I've heard him referred to as the Mike Tyson of Sumo, and I guess that's a fair comparison. Tyson was usually the shorter and lighter fighter, but he was constantly pushing the bigger fighters around, making them backpedal, and eventually putting them on their backs.
@@msbrownbeast he was huge but he did not get there just by his size. He also had great technique and strength. Also for him to be that mobile at his size was also impressive. His pushes and thrusts were really powerful. There was a documentary where about chiyonofuji where he mentioned how powerful konishikis thrusts were
I know it might be deceptive, but all these top level rikishi, even the big guys, just seem so much more athletic and agile than most of the top guys today.
Mitsugu suffer injured back then and he decided to do lots of push ups more 500 reps, this is just a proof that push up strengthen the body. remember mike tyson do lots of push ups also. This means push ups is no joke when it comes to strengthen and power your body. Push ups is essential to martial arts world.
The Wolf had power hardness and was very smart i saw some of this live and the noise when they hit shocked me the training is savage 1000 non stop squats etc v hard men
@3:54 If Chiyonofuji’s opponent fought hard and long and fairly against him, Chiyonofuji would show the respect and team support we see here 👍. But if an opponent would slap him around on the face for the whole match, Chiyonofuji would overpower with extra energy to give him a body-slam 😂😂. So awesome.

@I'm So Fly No, that ain't me, just someone else who went through the same Awakening after seeing Chiyonofuji.

This man in his prime was one of the very greatest athletes who ever walked the earth. His strength, stamina, and skill are mind boggling.
His speed and strength were essential to his success but most important was his incredible technique. Once he got ahold of your mawashi (belt around the waist), you were lost (like losing a pawn to Capablanca in chess).
Roids
And his agility!
Dude juiced to the gills
@@skyrulez4837
Unlike you, he doesn't use steroids because he has great natural potential😂
Chiyonofuji is 6 feet tall and still looks small compared to other sumo. This gives you perspective how big these guys really are.
@Jason Voorhees Never a story. Just with you simpletons in comments, who can't assess athletes any other way.
Yeah it’s crazy how a 6’0 285lb man is considered small in Sumo 😂. He’s literally the size of many DE’s in the NFL
But he got more muscle mass though…
@@mrbeanbigpeanus6875 not really, he just have less fat than other sumo so the muscle show more clearly, while most sumo have their muscle covered by fat.
@matheussousa7006 11% Ha. No f'n way. But cut for sumo.
Not only did he have superior technique, he was stronger than opponents doubling his size. Truly a great.
Russell Quandt quick and explosive
@Jason Voorhees Get a life, loser.
He did a lot of weight sessions in his training.
His body type is much much different to most sumos. Very muscular instead of very big. Maybe this is a better body type

Anyone have a link?

they were happy, trhowing seat cushions to celebrat Onokumi's final victory (I think that's cool too)
ruclips.net/video/5JhN4ErWDyo/видео.html
The muscles on Chiyonofuji are no joke. The dude is ripped, it’s like he was carved out of marble.
Indeed, they actually have a lot of muscle mass but their is a lot of fat around it but this guy looks so ripped
10:05 The grip switch he pulls is a thing of beauty !!
OMG growing up in Hawaii they use to play sumo matches on TV. Chiyonofuji and Konishki were my favorites. So many good memories.
So glad I found this compilation. Brought back so many memories of watching The Wolf in action. Thank you.
The Mike Tyson of Yokuzuna's. He tended to attack his opponents side on & get them of balance & follow through by twisting them over with his overhand technique or jus forced or lifted them out. R.I.P Chiyonofuji Mitsugu (my introduction to Sumo Wrestling) amazing athlete.

This man peaked my interest in Sumo. R.I.P

Think you mean mobile not immobile.
@@anodyne57 Probably meant "immovable".
You mean mobile*
Living in Hawaii late 80's I often watched watched Sumo on TV and became a big "wolf" fan. RIP Chiyonofuji
Chiyonofuji is the gateway drug into the sport.
Facts! I saw an image of Chiyonofuji in a video thumbnail a few years back. He looked wild and intimidating, so I watched it and immediately started following sumo and have kept up ever since.
and he still is. I got into it because of him just recently.
As someone who has a respect for sumo but never known who any of the sumos are, this guy definitely exudes a coolness, his style and and athleticism
My Dad loved this guy. He was on the phone for hours trying to get tickets for the Royal Albert Hall when they came over for a tournament. No internet back then.
His reactions to his opponent's changes in balance are absolutely wild. So many of these wins he shifts from his 1st idea into his 2nd before they can possibly react.
He found a way to get them moving, then used their own momentum to guide them out. Akin to a martial artist.

Good bye Legend, your sumo career was insane! The best Yokozuna to
me.
We lived in Japan the year Chiyonofuji had that streak. We found a little half busted TV thrown out that was green and white rather than color or black and white. It was our little midori box, and we loved the heck out of sumo digest and watching our hero win. We went to a tournament in Tokyo.
I swear this is the real E Honda.
I was looking for this comment
Hakuho
Thank you for compiling this in to 1 vid bob - the 3 parter was one of my most watched vids - pretty sure this will overtake it. This legend got me in to sumo, and i still love it.
Thank you again.
4:04 actually insane how much explosive power they have, look how fast they move at that weight..
4:02
Terao was very athletic. One my favorite wrestlers for sure
3:58 this guy looked as athletic as Chiyonofuji, the best match of the video thus far.
His name was Terao. His tactic was to rush out and push and slap his opponents out of the dohyo rather than grapple. I used to love watching him, win or lose.
9:15 match 34 was close as well, insane recovery, at least to untrained eyes
Literally looked like two wolves fighting for dominance
@Rex97 That only happens with wolves in captivity.
Agreed, his slaps and chops got ignored though and once he got his belt grabbed he was in trouble
14:03 was the most intense for me. His opponent knew very well not to let Chiyonofuji get hold of his mawashi, but at 14:14 the wolf finally got that iron grip on it and it was the end.
If your new to the sport watch some of the sumo training videos , these guys are amazing athletes 120kg throwing 160kg guys out of the ring is amazing ,strength , technique , strategy , power.
he clearly is one of a kind, is amazing to watch him fighting, a truly legend

hinomaruzumo is chiyonofuji
@@harimuchi3716 i realized that as well after i watch all chiyonofuji
Hinomaru Sumo brings me there as well. What an incredible sport
Absolute legend! I remember watching him as a kid.
1:08 That's some crazy grip strength, maintaining a strong grip on Konishiki's mawashi while receiving his relentless pushing attacks.
I used to love watching this back in the 80s it should be on tv again make a change from some of todays rubbish.
I was living in Japan during this streak ..... He is still my favorite Sumo of all time. I have his tegata (hand print) and signature...one of my most prized positions from Japan.
i never forget you. i locked at sumo in the 90 and your skill blow me away. love from sweden. RiP
The Wolf, truly the best!
I have seen many matches and greats of this sport, but this match and its winner... without a doubt is one of the best.

He is my favorite sumo wrestler. He's not big,he's not heavy,but has muscles in all the right places that make him great.
What. A. Beast. How strong was this guy actually. He could throw those giants like it was nothing.
He was doing up to 500 press ups a day, weighing 120Kg
Always fun watching The Wolf rag doll people. Incredible!!
The fact he’s showing that much definition in his upper body muscles despite the body fat is testament to his strength and conditioning. Man was a straight up animal
God damn, he was ripped! You don't see that kind of muscle in Sumo as much anymore.
Do I know who the guy at 4:00 is? They both have similar ripped physique
@@witachapinamk1507 It's Terao.
Size does not matter! If they are bigger or smaller,He IS and always will be BOSS.

Every video I've seen highlighting Chiyonofuji talks about his brute strength but I'm honestly just as impressed by his quickness. If he gets to the side or behind another rikishi then there's no hope.
Chiyonofuji war für mich einer der besten Yokuzuna, wenn nicht der Beste. Die Kämpfe sind teilweise sensationell. Danke fürs einstellen
jesus..the strength on that guy how does he even move those giants ?
Very sad to find out hedied a few years back.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe but chiyonofuji was not obese
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe Chiyo was different he wasnt obese thats the main reason why sumo wrestlers have a shorter lifespan Chiyo was the perfect size yes he was Overweight but all that shit was solid ass muscle he was jacked he had the body many men dream of
He had a Defensive NFL lineman's body
He's the man I used to watch him as a kid in the 80s I never rooted for the other Hawaiian sumo even though I'm Hawaiian I rooted for chiyono

I always consider him to the greatest there was and has been. Died to early at 55. Would have loved to have met him 👌
The fact that Jotaro loves this
I forgot to breathe while watching this
When someone is both the unmovable object and the unstoppable force what an absolute hero
I was fortunate to see Chiyonofuji in an exhibition tournament in Honolulu. He was a crowd favorite.
All sumo wrestlers are powerful but this guy is like the incarnation of a demon force
People called him small but I believe he had the perfect amount of muscle and Bodyfat for his height which what I believe made him so dominant a lot like Hakuho now.
Hakuhoh is a beast
But with an amazing quickness that even Hakuho can't match. If they existed in the same time-space, to be able to see them fight, Hakuho's height might have given him an edge against Chiyo, but then it might not have made any difference. It's a moot point, but enticing to contemplate.

And just so you know, that dude is Konshiki and he weighed around 290kg at his heaviest! And he threw him of his feet. Amazing strength and technique.

@@msbrownbeast he was huge but he did not get there just by his size. He also had great technique and strength. Also for him to be that mobile at his size was also impressive.

I think it his balance that made him so dominant, always looked in control.
Leg strength, mobility.
@Kevin Geaslin omg he would be a god
Chiyonofuji was to sumo world what John Wayne or Clark Gable were to the world of cinema, the best of them all.
I know it might be deceptive, but all these top level rikishi, even the big guys, just seem so much more athletic and agile than most of the top guys today.
no words. speechless to describe the magic
3 straight zensho yusho. Incredible
Chiyonofuji will always be my favorite athlete!❤

yup thats me at 3am looking at sumo videos cuz I have nothing better to do
