Congratulations, Harumafuji!

Congratulations to Harumafuji (previously known as Ama) on his first ever tournament victory!


Yesterday was an exciting day in Sumo as Ozeki Harumafuji took down Yokozuna Hakuho to win his first tournament victory. I've been a fan of Harumafuji since his days as Ama (the cheap horse) and he just keeps getting better and better. He's always been a scrappy, hang-on-and-fight-to-the-bitter-end type, but these days he seems to have really gained some sumo know-how as well as bulking up his frame. I hope we can continue to expect good things of him!

P.S. My mom will be here in only 10 days, and Rintarou shortly after that!

I'm glad for the guy. Being called Cheap Horse could not have been easy. And his new name - what does it mean?
