I had the distinct pleasure of chatting about sumo with Leslie and Laurie from Sumo Kaboom yesterday. The two of them have been running a sumo bingo game and thought we’d collaborate on a new Kachi-Koshi bingo. We hope you all will enjoy. Aside from bragging rights, there’s some of the Sumo Kaboom homemade fig jam in it for the winner!
Yesterday, I talked their ears off for a good long time and I think you’ll be able to hear some of it later this week (maybe Wednesday), so head over there and you can listen to me drone on until I forget what I’m talking about — or choose from any of their other 30 or so episodes. The Mariah Holmes episode is fascinating, in particular, and gives a glimpse into the amateur sport which we touched on briefly in our wide-ranging chat.

I’ve got my card and I’ll start filling it in starting this weekend when Shodai picks up his kachi-koshi. Sadly, it seems Asanoyama is nowhere to be found on my entry. Geez, I’ve really got the Kiss of Death, don’t I? Again, the rules are below:

I’ve got Kakuryu and Abi and Kotoshogiku all in different rows – how do I get a different card?
Thanks.
I have Kakuryu and Abi too. Any way we can get a new card?
I have Hakuho, Waktakakage, Abi, Ishiura, so I do believe that’s 4 not in the Basho. I think I want a different Card.
Wakatakakage’s not kyujo, is he?
Yea, that was my bad. Still, I have 3 out before the Basho started.
LOL, maybe next tournament we’ll have make-koshi Bingo!
Got Ishiura, Kotoshogiku, Kakuryu, Abi 🙄Only missing Hakuho for the kyujo bingo 😂
😂
Oh, and Kakuryu is center square on mine, blocking both diagonals 😒
7 of the 12 possible bingos blocked by pre-tournament withdrawals, plus one more by Giku.
ouch. hopefully Shodai’s on there somewhere?
yes, but his row is blocked by Ishiura 😢
Ouch. At least the column isgood?
This is a fantastic idea, Andy! Thanks so much for setting it up!
LOVE IKSUMO’S KYUJO BINGO!
I’ve got Ishiura, Abi, and Hakuho, all in separate columns and rows. My “best” hope is Kotoshoho, Kotoeko, Endo, Onosho, Kaisei. Or perhaps Myogiru, Endo, Kiribayama, Shodai, Takayasu.

And now Kiribayama, as my center square, has gone kyujo. I did get 4 out of 5 kachi-kochi on day 10; sadly, they do not remotely line up.
I have hopes Kiribayama will be back…
Weirdly happy that I seem to have drawn a nokozuna card (and no Abi), but Ishiura and Kotoshogiku are both holding down my center column. So it goes.
