- On September 2014, Ichinojo made his debut in the top division of Sumo Wrestling. He climbed up the ranks so fast, his hair have not grown enough to form the traditional chonmage or topknot that sekitori (high rankers) usually wear. It only took Ichinojo less than a year to reach the Makuuchi Division.
I compiled all of his bouts and made a play-by-play breakdown of each bout. I hope you enjoy and as always thank you for watching! Hakkeyoi!

Goddamn. I wish I watched sumo during these days. Never realized his debut he beat two ozeki, a yokozuna, and only got runner-up because the final boss was Hakuho. He deserved to win a yusho and I'm glad he was finally able to become champion 🏆
Did you also know that this was the first time in 60 years (or so) that a Yokozuna got Kimbochi'd by a rookie Maegashira? (Ie a first-time Makuuchi basho rishiki)
This makes this such a legendary basho.
And he was NOT far off getting Hakuho either, just a few moves.
I remember watching this basho and recalling Ichi playing some mind games with both Kise and Kakuryu. I think the mattas in both bouts were intentional to give the opponent the impression he was anxious to charge forward, which made the henka such a surprise. Kakuryu should have been expecting it though after what happened to Kise.
Moved up in the ranks so fast he didn't have time to grow his hair out. I love Ichinojo.
More noteworthy than his 13-2 was that Ichinojo henka'd both an Ozeki AND a Yokuzuna in his very FIRST top-division tournament! Japan hasn't seen such villany since the days of the Ōnin Wars.
8:50 the man in the crowd has a WTF moment.
Really nice video, shows many wrestlers in their prime!
LOL that's hilarious xD nice catch!
that just shows how strong and skillful hakuho is! ichi just ran trough so many TOP rikishi and nearly no one could even really move him. but then hakuho nearly lifted his 200+ kilo frame like he does it every day....insane...and then the pull that looked so effortlessly, crazy. but its crazy how ichinojo didnt became ozeki pretty early, he was a machine! i mean he still is, but age and injurys just pilling up on him 😔
Great stuff! I remember Baby Ichi was something else! He rose so fast and didn't even have a top knot yet and he was killing everyone! I love Hakuho met him head on and said let's see what you got big boy! Ichi was star struck but was incredible in his debut.
I honestly think that if Ichi had stayed at that weight, rather than ending up above 200kg, he'd at least be/have been Ōzeki by now.
Yeah he seems more athletic and more fluid in his movement and technique.. compared to his current style i do prefer this one, but glad he got his first basho championship
Wow, thanks, that was really interesting to see from where we are today. Those neck pulls were vicious, how come he doesn't do them anymore? Have the others figured it out?
i do believe he just got older and he had some injurys that made him less mobil in the dohyo :/ plus his backpain, as he said, is pretty much there all the time. well he is 200+kg afterall 😅 but just looking at him in the video, it baffles me, that he is not ozeki or even yokozuna 😳 crazy skillfull and fast for his physicue!
An astonishing first performance. Its amazing really that he never rose to at least Ozeki. You hear the reactions to his retirement and you see where the expectations would have been for his career. Glad he got a yusho.
I hadn't watch sumo since it was on ESPN in the '90s. This was the first basho I had watched since then. I've been a huge Ichinojo fan since then. It's been hard to watch him work through his health issues. I was so happy he finally got a well-deserved yusho the last basho. I hope he gets more.
8 years ago I first saw Ichi... To see him win the Yusho made me cry ^^ Congrats once again Ichi !!! great video as always DonDon !!
and since i waited his first yusho and always supported him no matter what
Thanks for the upload!
You fought hard, Ichi. Yokozuna potential in my opinion. I hope he does well in post-sumo life and can conquer his alcoholism.
Don Don! You are our sumo historian guru. Thank you for posting these somewhat archaic clips, one of the only sumo channels that seems to do it.
Who knew Ichi was such a beast in his debut! Slow but powerful and incredible balance. Much like today except I think his balance has suffered a bit from injuries.
Didn't start watching sumo until last year, so really interesting too see how Ichinojo's style has developed.
Thank you very nice to see deput of Ichinojo....
Thanks for the explanation about the hair, I was wondering about that and wow, that's a really badass reason for not having a topknot.
He moved incredibly well for a man that big. Was composed and incredibly thoughtful in his approach. Just awesome to watch.
That battle with Chiyomaru was epic!
Roughly the same time as Terunofuji and he was looking to be the one that was faster and more aggressive.
Wow, this is a great piece of history. You can tell that somebody is talented when they beat the Yokozuna without even having a proper topknot.
Funny looking at the match with Hakuho how much like Hakuho Ochiai looks, even the small, rapid hip movements to break grips and reposition for a push, and than the mawashi grip changing slightly to get a throw. Very excited for Ochiai!
great choice
thank you
Thanks bro 👍🐘🚜
Hey don don. I would love to see Shodais 15 day fights. And hoshoryu also.
Love your videos bro. Thank you
Ichi is the fastest rikishi to get promoted to sanyaku in sumo history (until now). He only do it in 6 basho from newbie to sekiwake.
HAKUHO VARY FAST TOO🏆🏆🏆🤙🤙
Very nice...
Thank you for the complication and valuable analysis. Ichinojo was so agile. Is it age or weight that has taken that from him?
Love watching old basho's for the crowd reactions. I can't wait till people can shout again.
PS: My wife thinks this Ichinojo is kinda handsome.
Yes! Let's hope they haven't forgotten how... The energy of the crowd in these pre-covid videos is just great and without the masks, it's so fun to see people's jaws literally drop at an unexpected move :)
@@aszechy I'm with her!
INCREIBLE INCREIBLE.... el amague que se comio kisenoasto.... para el tamaño que tiene ichinojo es increible. y la ovasion al final contra kakuryu sin palabras,
Great content man! Nothing like a slicked haired wrestler to know it's someone about to fuck you up that's ten years younger!
Is it me or is this man different from everyone else. He’s using multiple moves with power and skill. His reactions are godlike as well.
Wow ,the glory days of sumo
Hands down one of my favorite sumo wrestlers! My dad calls him Godzilla because he is just so HUGE!
He did a guy like Ichinojo do a flip. With one arm. What a fucking god.
Wow. That's a side of Ichinojo I had never seen. So much promise, but it seems he lost some of his drive afterwards. But glad for his recent win.
that analyzis is gold
Imagine if Ichi had stayed at this weight, maintained his fire, and not succumbed to the pressure that was put on him. Really a shame, but then again sumo is rife with so many ifs and could-have-beens.
Wow
What an opener to his career. Two ozeki and a Yokozuna??!
@7:24 sadanoumi hasn't changed in appearance this bout is from 2014 and it's 2022 . It's been 8 years.
Maybe he doesn't age 😳
10:37 the man throws cushion!
Hard to believe this young man became the Snorlax.
08:48 look at the guy with the hat behind him :D
why ichinojo doesnt have the knot?
ICHINOJO VARY FAST🏆🏆🤙👏👏👏😎😎💪💪💪💪💪BOM DIA
👍
Wow he was so good. If only he stayed this weight and didn't get injured he'd most certainly be yokozuna by now. He was really agile and fast. He used to be able to throw, which is a shame he can't anymore. I think he should lose about 30 kilos now and get down to Terunofuji's weight. He'd definitely be more of a contender for titles
So much different watching him today. The Juryo win showed this aggression and resistence, but he hasn't had that dog in him for a long time. Hopefully it's back and he's kicked the alcohol
ICHINOJO would have been first man to win the sumo championship with out sumo hair style.
Why does he not have his top knot at that point?
He did debut as a M10? Was he promoted as Juryo Champion?
Three playoffs in Juryu in two consecutive bashos. Won 2 of the playoffs. Immediately after that 13-2 as Maegashira 10. Amazing results. They pushed him to gain more weight too hard and after that he is not himself.
Chiyomaru didn't have a neck 8 years ago either.
Enno! Is that you?
Chiyomaru certainly looked a lot better in those days.
He scared them all. However, after his debut, he did not show this kind of sumo anymore. Somebody made him change it.
Монголы молодцы.
oh man this guy is a real talent. why his hair style is different from the other wrestlers?
He rose so fast through the sumo ranks his hair didn’t have time to grow a topknot, rarely happens since most beginners spend years in lower divisions before reaching this level.
He was still a youngster in sumo, but fought with the big guys because he was 200 kg all monster.
Awesome vid! Hakuho pooped himself a little bit and Ichi slipped on it! Best entrance ever!
Baby giant met the real giant-day 14 ,but he did beat him -has a great record against Yokozuna -now has a yusho to prove it
During the match with Hakuho at @11:31, Ichinojo has a left hand grip and then there is a pat from Hakuho on Ichi's back and he immediately relaxes his left hand grip. Pretty weird, what do you all think? I am new to watching Sumo so I may be wrong.
Ichinojo never got the left-hand grip. Hakuho is just jockeying for position with his arm inside. Not to mention, Hakuho is a master of sumo technique and the greatest of all time. This was Ichi’s first tournament in the top division, Hakuho had nothing to fear.
why isn't his hair done like the others?
He went up the ranks so far his hair wasn't long enough for a topknot.
I wish we still had hakuho. But the we wouldn't be getting new yusho winners.
Snorlax back in the day
Why isn’t his hair done up?
He went up the ranks so far his hair wasn't long enough for a topknot.
Would be great to see him lose a little weight to get back close to this size. It seems he's too big sometimes.
Why didnt ichinojo have a chonmage?
Was too good in his early days. Promoted so quickly and so often that his hair had not grown out to proper length in time.
@@LucidFlameX that is actually crazy
He was so much more mobile. Really shoulda capped off his weight gain.
Aminishiki's Tachiai is altogether weird.
Why his hair is the only one which is free?
He went up the ranks so far his hair wasn't long enough for a topknot.
@@mrrhombus716 ok ty
As of today he can never won against the weaker opponents 13,2
sneaky snorlax should've saved the henka for Hakuho
Раньше лучше боролся, упорнее.
Ichinojo made an incredible result. But Hakuho was the greatest rikishi
his hair hasn't even grown. Would have made yukozuna if not for his back
Seems like Mongolians want it more, cream rises to the top.......
Is it bcos he's not Japanese so don't need to tie the hair?
Dude just got too damn big.
ichinojo went 14~1 in 2019 but did not won the yusho cause hakuho was 15~0 and ichi did not had a chance to face hakuho on that basho so unfortunate 14~1 is almost guarenteed yusho winning number but there was the goat standing with zensho
引退しましたね
