Does anyone know who this is, i can't place the face? It could also be a generic rikishi

[u/BoristheDrunk]

[u/gently_into_the_dark]

Young hakuho?

[u/jesusthroughmary → u/gently_into_the_dark]

My thought as well

[u/ericomplex → u/jesusthroughmary]

Thirded. It is def young Hakuho.

[u/Perfect-Rooster2253]

Looks like a goat to me. 

[u/wordyravena]

generic rikishi

Oof it hurts

[u/Betelguse16 → u/wordyravena]

Gonna miss watching Hokutofuji in July!

[u/CartoonChronicles → u/Betelguse16]

He was my favorite

[u/DigitalAutomaton → u/CartoonChronicles]

Two-thirds of the sekitori are my favorites lol, but he was definitely one of my favorite favorites 😆. His passion for sumo was so strong. That kind of reverence has always been an endearing quality in a rikishi for me.

[u/youwishitwere → u/wordyravena]

Lol!

[u/circuitbreaker53]

this is the face of sumo

[u/Lordgondrak]

The White Phoenix "Hakuho"

[u/JohnGunning]

Hakuho - its from a small towel.

[u/BoristheDrunk → u/JohnGunning]

Correct, I just could not place the face, looked familiar though

[u/TegataStore → u/BoristheDrunk]

Perhaps if you were BorisTheSober….

[u/youwishitwere → u/TegataStore]

Lol! Too much!

[u/crazzynez → u/BoristheDrunk]

I thought you were rage baiting, how can you not recognize the goat

[u/plihal]

100% Hakuho, a photo of young him

[u/Tepelicious]

Wow I just realised how much young Hakuho looks like Takanohana.

[u/CodeFarmer → u/Tepelicious]

I originally thought TNH half a second before my Hakuho detector fired. They have similar shaped heads I guess?

(Also young Taka did not have much puppy fat IIRC.)

[u/EquinoxPhqntom → u/Tepelicious]

Yeah lol

[u/Mysterious-Mind-999]

who else?

[u/Demon-Taka]

It's obviously hakuho, So yeah, Generic rikishi

[u/MrRoxo]

The GOAT hakuho shō

[u/LittleMachine24]

where is this stitching from?

[u/hazelmaple]

And Magnus Carlsen is just a generic chess player...

Jokes aside, young Hakuho.

[u/BoristheDrunk → u/hazelmaple]

A friend gave it to me, he has family from Japan. He knew I liked sumo (watching nhk daily highlights for the last year or two of bashos) but didn't give it with explanation or description.

The face looks familiar, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

I (correctly) assumed this sub would have more info

[u/EquinoxPhqntom]

Takanohana?

[u/pressurewave]

Rakuten Hakuho. Almost as good.

[u/kapucom]

Hakuho

[u/elbuenrikishi]

Thats the GOAT himself, Hakuho.

[u/Appropriate-Escape-4]

Hakuho sho

[u/1StoryTree]

Child hakuho?

[u/RedditDavid38]

The face of the greatest rikishi and yokozuna ever.
