17-year-old Ko Yoshii returns to the channel, just seven tournaments after we covered him in the Hakuho Cup. How does he fare in his first tournament in division three, and how does he assess his own sumo?

@tigerboy19664 years agoThis is why we watch Chris Sumo: you won't find this kind of commentary and analysis anywhere else on yt. 7

@Hidden-Secrets4 years agoI remember him from your coverage. Crazy how fast he is rising. 9

@mikawa13144 years agoMakushita is where the real test begins. A lot of promising youngsters are able to make it that far fairly early into their careers, but very few actually make it to Juryo. 4

@JTM18094 years agoLet’s hope he follows in the footsteps of Takanohana (sumo-wise, not the family & other drama). 7

@potzysk24 years ago4-3 in Makushita before turning 17? Wow! If he doesn't get injured and continues to improve, he should make Makuuchi before turning 20. 1
@
@sry4gotmyusername4 years agoI was able to catch a few of his bout on the live stream. Very impressive young lad. He has a bright future in sumo as long as he remains healthy. 2

@gabitzadk4 years agoThank you so much for the update. I will keep my eyes on him. Very mature and focused thinking for such a young kid. 1
@
@Anon-sv5ee4 years agoHopefully he can stay healthy. I am excited
@
@hdihiiehei4 years agomy favorite upcoming start. cant wait to see him become a star
@
@SuperAWaC4 years agoHe is so young. He has a LOT of physical developing to do. Even minor injuries now will severely shorten his career far in the future. He must be careful. I hope his stablemaster is responsible. 2

@mx78594 years agoAny chance we can get a video about Kotoshogiku and his new records after last basho? 1
@
@DennisGr4 years agohey guys, i've only been into sumo for about a year and so far i've only followed the makuuchi and the juryo bouts so now comes my question: what does junior highschool yokozuna mean? how does one attain that rank and does it have any meaning for his future for professional sumo? ...2
@
@duke_hugo4 years agoPretty sure the last 16 year old to make it to Makushita was Kisenosato.
@
@DONTXBREAK4 years agoChris do you have the IG handles of famous sumo wrestlers? id love to follow them but cant find any.
@
@John-zj9ur4 years agoWell, Takanohana did get two Makushita yushos. Just saying :)
@
@colinslee43934 years agoHow special is this guy going to be, do we think? 🤔
@
@Doomer423894 years agoLet's see...he still too young and fight against "little" guys, Onosho was "the future" for some in the past but in top division he is nothing special. ( good but enough to be one of the best)

@bartfart38474 years agoWow straight out of Jr high school into Sumo. that is worse than college basketball stars who go to the NBA before graduating. This kid will have limited opportunities outside of Sumo. Bad call by his parents.
