[@sumoprimetime7506]

Konnichiwa and thanks for watching SUMO PRIME TIME. I'm Hiro Morita. This latest installment will take you to Miyagino beya which is run by former yokozuna grand champion Hakuho. The new Miyagino oyakata reveals his thoughts on becoming a stablemaster by sharing some of the challenges he's facing as he currently coaches 19 young men who're vying to become the next Hakuho. The former yokozuna also gave me man-to-man instructions on a basic sumo training. I mean what an amazing and awesome experience it was learning firsthand from the 45-time champ!! I'm sure all of you who're trying out sumo wherever you may be will find his teachings profound and enlightening. The king of the ring also offers his message to our worldwide sumo fans, so please check out the show and find the secrets of Hakuho's success. Arigato always!!

[@samuelsmiley5940]

If Hakuho is serious about foreigners coming to watch their training sessions, how do I get on the wait list?

[@Spynebreaker]

Hakuho should host a contest with an all expense paid vacation to watch him, meet him, and eat with him. That would get huge recognition here in the states.

[@davidcaan709]

Thank you so much Hiro, I love watching your brand of sumo entertainment:) I love the show.

[@giuseppeviolante]

How can I get accesso to his stable and watch the morning training session. I am an italian who loves Sumo and have seen a couple of tournaments but i would love to assist to a morning training session

[@RandyPass]

Hey NHK - Either offer complete coverage of the Basho (at least top two divisions) on demand so those of us in the western hemisphere can watch all matches the following day, or stop copyright striking the channels that allow us to watch this amazing sport. We all wish we could buy a subscription that would allow us to get all matches direct from you, but it’s not available. Just so you know, I speak for THOUSANDS of sumo fans.

[@Benjamin_Kraft]

I think the contrast between Hakuho inside the dohyo, and outside (even before he retired) is remarkable. Inside the dohyo he was always fierce and daunting, exuding so much confidence it almost could pass for an air of arrogance were he not actually so superior. Truly a warrior, embodying the fighting spirit. Outside the ring he's different; he seems humble (more than one would expect for his achievements) and always looking to improve himself as if he never reached his ideals, he seems kind and patient, and very grateful for his incredible journey in sumo. He does seem more relaxed now as retired from competitive Sumo, which is great to see. I feel like his retirement as a rikishi was only the beginning of something else maybe even bigger, I can't wait to see what he intends to give back to the sport he so loves. I'm very excited and happy seeing him on Sumo Prime Time, and that he wants to share Sumo with the world!

[@pedronanton443]

100% agree

[@boxingboys]

🐐 he is the mj of the sumo world

[@joannaedwards6325]

Benjamin Kraft Thank you for writing such a wonderful essay about Hakuho. I enjoyed reading it so much that I wish it was longer. I could not have done any better myself and I've been an essayist for over 50 years. So many of us sumo fans came to this amazing tradition because of first being exposed to Hakuho in some way. Beyond his obvious athleticism and dedication to sumo, his intelligence and sincere charm make him, I think, incredibly attractive. It was in a 2015 interview with an American martial artist where my man and I first saw Hakuho and, like most people, we were instantly addicted. So, thanks again for commenting and sharing your appreciation of The Greatest of All Time. Your new fan, Jo-Anna

[@Ozmogul]

Yeah exactly. His own wife said in an interview some time back, that there was a huge difference. I can't remember her exact words, but something along the lines of "that man in the ring isn't my husband, he's someone else"

[@Hydrosized]

So firm yet humble. He’s living the life he wants to live.

[@barbells_and_guitars]

What an honor to be able train under him. A true living legend.

[@uwalkeruwalker9576]

I like the way how Hkuho speaks Japanese, so calm.

[@spencersunshine9718]

His insights for proper teppo technique were fascinating. Making Hiro focus on sliding his lead foot forced him to plant his rear foot on the ground, a fundamental part of generating power in any striking based combat sport. Really awesome to learn.

[@evolvedape3341]

I would pay serious money to see Hakuho in person! He is my favorite sportsman by far!

[@mitchconner2021]

Im glad he seems to be enjoying retirement. I miss watching him compete but in glad he's still around the sport

[@Ric_Vicious]

Successful Yokozuna, AND businessman! So happy about his most recent success. Edit: Did not know that Mukainakano is in the Miyagino beya! That man is a rising star.

[@ngtilui]

He is the reason why i like Sumo... would be a dream to meet Hakuho.

[@ancientredwoods8502]

Hakuho is the greatest athlete of all time. So blessed to have watched his brilliance live.

[@lordjimbo2]

Hakuho's track suit is fire

[@stricttime6481]

Very fancy 🕺🏻🪩

[@Molders32]

I think it could have been worn by Paulie Walnuts, God rest his soul.

[@astoriarego8304]

Please know that an Italian American woman in Queens who just got into Sumo is reading your comment and smiling. :)

[@RDG99]

Why a champ this guy is! Even as former yokozuna, he still exudes an aura of greatness whenever you see him. Seeing that teppo training being applied against one of the toughest fighters like that is quite satisfying! Really cool that they included that clip in the video! On a side note, did anyone see Ishiura in any part of the video? I'm hoping he's recovered and is back in training... He's one of my favorites in the top ranks and it sucks to see him fall down in ranks

[@ScorphiusMultiplayer]

Hakuho was so thin when he started... Probably, nobody thought that he would become a Yok!! !! Love your videos.. !!

[@joannaedwards6325]

In a bio video on Hakuho they said he wasn't even allowed to do any training until he gained enough to finally reach the minimum weight requirement. All he was allowed to do was eat. 😊

[@mtgmac1]

Kudos for getting the big guy on the mic, Hiro! The channel is really coming of age.

[@OzekiTK]

I cant wait to see a grand tournament in person some day

[@kingrama2727]

Hakuo is my favorite, what a wonderful human.. I would love to see a show like this all about Enho 😍😍…..

[@joannaedwards6325]

Hi Thank Goodness you are still faithful. ❤ 😊

[@richdurbano]

He is so charismatic, I could watch him read the newspaper. His men must be totally in awe of him.

[@dk5206]

Hakuho, you are the reason why I started loving Sumo!

[@poohjan]

SUMO PRIMETIME! ☝🏻

[@LucidFlameX]

Always a treat to see more of the GOAT.

[@Toropetskii]

What an incredible privilege to get special instruction from the Greatest of All Time.

[@luciagianquitto4010]

This video has been Amazing! He really has MORE THAN A LOT of passion for sumo and i hope that his dream of raising high rankers Will became true soon!

[@fushigidane888]

Thank you for making this content with English subs, so we can enjoy it from everywhere in the world!

[@hugotabellion9759]

Did you notice the wooden pole is litterally shaking when Hakuho is slacking it? Not when Hiro does tho ^^"

[@--pussypatroll--]

Hakuho seems chill and down to Earth. Nice to see fame didn't go to his head... he stayed humble.

[@xxxqwertxxx]

Wow! I feel so star struck, truly! 🤩 You’re so lucky, Hiro. Thanks for all this amazing coverage, SPT!

[@Ric_Vicious]

For real. I'd love to hang with Hak-man!

[@joannaedwards6325]

Mila R. That's the affect Hakuho has on most of his fans. Not just women, but men seem to really admire Hakuho too. I don't know about you, but he is one of the most attractive men I've ever seen. Elvis and The GOAT are tied for 1st place in my heart. Always. 💋 😊

[@astoriarego8304]

I don't disagree, but Enho isn't bad, either!

[@pnth240]

Next time, please tell me about Hakuho's special Shiko posture training method.

[@Adam-wt5id]

Sumo culture is so fascinating. Its small but my favorite thing is how they must always wear kimonos, but seeing him in street clothes is so cool too

[@lordtanatos84kmkn59]

He looks very humble and approachable.

[@tgreyfox]

Hiro keeps up this kind of training with these kinds of trainers, he'll be slotting in around Makushita 50 next summer

[@IAMWIKID]

New to watching sumo but instantly fell in love with watching Hakuho highlight reels..

[@dudedude4034]

Proper man and one of the best Yokuzuna ever…All the best in your new life Hakuho Sho…🤝

[@alexanderthurman214]

This gentleman is a super Athlete, Sumo goes back thousands of years. This Yokozuna, won 45 Grand Sumo Tournaments. Just google winners ofGrand Sumo Tournament’s. The most is 32 and that’s unheard of. Hakuho is a living legend, his father was one of the greatest wrestlers in Mongolia, winning a Sliver Medal. In the 1968 summer Olympics in Mexico. May God richly bless everyone 🇮🇱✝️🇺🇸!

[@mitchellbrian2585]

I just loved this video. Its always nice to see Hakuho and how humble he seems. His general approach to the basics of sumo and how important they are, and just the thought he puts into everything. Its nice to see he is enjoying retirement, he deserves it!

[@joannaedwards6325]

Allow me please to add a big loud DITTO!!

[@martincolvill5453]

That was soooooo cool! Thank you Hiro.

[@Kupoinfo]

What an awesome look into Miyagino stable! The most I've ever heard from Hakuho outside his choreographed winners interviews. The more you visit and talk to various Rikishi, the more I enjoy the channel! I'm glad you're living the dream and doing what every sumo fan dreams of doing!

[@flasht9000]

His interview with the Mongolian TV is also a must watch. I don’t know if it has an english sub or not tho. He talked about his childhood and early sumo days to his successful yokozuna career. Oh and his rivalry with Asashoryu too.

[@joannaedwards6325]

@@flasht9000 Was that posted by that Scottish guy who produces WORLD OF SUMO? I think he did a multiple series of Hakuho talking to other Mongolians and it COULD have been the program to which you are referring. It was quite long.

[@elkysunnykuri]

健康的に体重を落とされていて、幸いでした。

[@bradybrapples]

Fantastic video - would love to see a Hakuho tournament recap with his thoughts at the end of each tournament!

[@PuuberZ]

If Sumo is still going in a 1000 years I believe Hakuho will still be at the top in terms of numbers. He is a true living legend.

[@joannaedwards6325]

I share your feelings. I might add that I believe the same is true of ELVIS. Both are absolutely unique individuals who did it their way. And both will always be remembered for their greatness, their humbleness and their generous dedication to their respective careers.

[@user-tj5yg5pk8v]

What a massive honor!

[@justaperson1812]

very nice to see the hak again

[@Hydrosized]

I want to watch every grand tournament forevermore! Thank you Sumo Primetime, for showing this beautiful sport to the world. I only wish I found sumo sooner!

[@darkknightnine]

Hello from Wisconsin USA. Love the show!

[@jonopens]

It's criminal that this video only has ~6,000 views for the king himself!

[@remusspanu5225]

Damn...even Hakuho's palms have muscles.

[@truckerallikatuk]

Now I'm wondering when Hiro will progress to doing a shiko foot stamp as part of his sign off...

[@youremakingprogress144]

This video gave me a better understanding of the usefulness of teppo than I had ever had before.

[@ChemicalSoup1.0]

Hello from Canada, thanks for these videos and sharing official sumo content with the internet! I started watching sumo a little over 3 years ago, when Hakuho was still dominant. I feel privileged to have discovered sumo just in time to witness the end of his reign, and will watch his students with great interest moving forward!

[@yms6892]

No one has dominated a professional sport as hard as Hakuho. Name one star from another sport that has. You won't be able to. He's the GOAT

[@lordjimbo2]

Jahangir Khan, but it's close.

[@MiauZi69]

Karelin was easily WAY more dominant.

[@stekka23]

Michael Jordan

[@lordjimbo2]

@@MiauZi69 Oooo, I forgot about Karelin! Didn't he lose like five points in his entire career?!!

[@MiauZi69]

@@lordjimbo2 No, but there were years when he did not lose 1 point. I think he has only 2 professional losses and the last one, which cost him the 4th gold @ Olympia, was a bit questionable rule and ruling of the judge.

[@8964TS]

Awesome. Great access.

[@KarmaFlight]

This is quality Sumo content. Arigato!

[@grendelum]

i’m really glad _hakuho_ sees how important the reach of the internet is in spreading sumo worldwide, thanks for letting us see inside the stable !!

[@Chelm9]

A living legend! What an incredible insight into Miyagino stable

[@user-vt2xv6kp3w]

It’s so awesome to see him smile and happy! The sport inhibits wrestlers from showing emotion which I can appreciate and respect completely but it’s beyond nice to see them smile since there’s always a lifeless sad depressing look of seriousness among the wrestlers.

[@dcchen4319]

Wonderful video .Looking forward to coming to japan to visit his stable.

[@DrNaz]

Wonderful video!!!! Air must feel different around Migayino!!

[@poperussian]

The GOAT!! love the content, Mr. Morita! Please keep it up!

[@peterhaslund]

Hakuho really didn't have any weaknesses. That being true, I still would have enjoyed watching him try to take over dominance from Asashoryu. Unfortunate that their time together was cut short by Japanese public emotion. Two Mongolian yokozunas never sat easy with the sumo board! Ah, well, I did get to watch Asa win against the young Haku live back in 2007. It was amazing, pillows flying everywhere!

[@Tastychronicles]

OMG! Love this interview Miyagino (Hakuho)!

[@dexterm2003]

Wow great content! So glad to have Sumo Prime Time on KZbin! The access and content that your channel is putting out is awesome! Some day I would love to make it to Japan and visit Miyagino beya. Hakuho is a true legend in and out of the dohyo I think he really understands the impact that he can have on the rest of the world and how he can promote sumo to a world audience! 頑張って 宮城野 親方

[@nevaladder]

This video had me grinning from ear to ear the whole time. Thank you!

[@JuggoJuggo]

You missed the most important part, his recipe for chanko nabe.

[@Flaggged]

We love you Hakuho! 🐐

[@LauraJdogmom]

Wow, thank you for this. Hakuho is the GOAT! He also seems to be a good teacher, which will certainly contribute to his success going forward. His rikishi are devoted to him, and rightly so. I just hope the NSK realizes what a treasure they have in him. I loved the teppo lesson. The basic sumo exercises look so simple, but that is deceptive. It is easy to do them wrong, isn't it? I love it that Hakuho wants to promote sumo internationally, and that he wants tourists to enjoy sumo. It would help immensely if it were easier to get tickets to sumo events and to make arrangements to visit stables. I wonder if the NSK has considered making a centralized tourist information hub? I know of a few people who would like to attend Hakuho's danpatsu-shiki, but are not sure if they will be able to get tickets. Did he mention how Ishiura is doing?

[@Ric_Vicious]

Unfortunately not! I've been wondering, myself, what's happened to Ishiura. I guess the neck injury was more serious than originally thought.

[@LauraJdogmom]

@@Ric_Vicious I agree. I hope it is nothing permanent, as I look forward to his return to sumo. He is fun to watch. I sure hope they are letting him live at home with his family and not making him live at the heya.

Hakuho is a sumo genius through and through. From what I've seen of documentaries, he was very keen on studying past bouts of not only himself but his opponents too. No wonder he is the Greatest of All Time!

[@Asparay]

As an international fan of the sport, can guarantee will be back as soon as possible! Always time my visits to Japan when the basho is on. So interesting to hear his view on training, and see his humble approach, considering the sheer force of energy he had about him even just entering a tournament at the start of the day (an experience I wont ever forget in Fukuoka).Will be incorporating teppo in to my training for contact sport as well. 🙌

[@Heavywall70]

It was nice to have been able to enjoy Hakuho’s sumo and fully understanding that he was so great while we were watching. 45 yusho and over 1000 wins isn’t an everyday occurrence in sumo at the highest level.
