[sumo] (semi-spoiler) Day 7 Juryo

 >J2e    Kitazakura (4-3)    ushiromotare   J1e    Yoshikaze (4-3)

Now that was an interesting match. I was watching the video and 
checking the NSK website's updating results.
When they posted the result for this match it showed two kanji that 
read "fumei" meaning "obscurity, ambiguity, ignorance." Usually they 
show the kimarite in that spot. At this time (7am in Maryland, 8pm in 
Japan), they have apparently figured out how to spell Ushiromotare in 
kanji. I guess it took a while to teach the NSK computer get the right kanji.
I would have called it "ushirodashi" , but I don't think they have 
that as a real kimarite. It looked to me like Kita used his butt to 
push Yoshi off the dohyo. It was certainly fun to watch.
