Marakizumi Juryo Yusho victory speech : "I am very grateful for the opportunity to participate in this basho and to have been able to reach this level. I would like to thank everyone who supported me and believed in me. This victory is a true honor, and I remain aware of the road I still have to travel." (Marakizumi for Yokozunaaaa !)

Sake has 15 - 20 % ABV, which is a bit more than wine. I wouldn't call that "very" light... 7 x 1,8 l is a huge amount to me

Maezumo and then banzuke start in jonokuchi

What ranking will he come into?

Sake is very light...

Oh, that must have been a later update today (April 1), it wasn't yet in the version my page watch service caught around 8am JST. I guess there might be something to those old rumours after all? Took a long time to materialize, if so... Edit: What would be funny is if this ended the way the Shikihide succession did, with a Dewanoumi-ichimon member going there to take over a moribund stable but then taking it with him to Dewanoumi... In any case, Nishikido now only has another two years and change, he turns 65 in September 2027. -

I think Kagamiyama to Oitekaze is to keep an eye on internal discipline (given that he was head of compliance committees and disciplinary boards in the past). Sendagawa to Nishikido may either be a temporary help or future grooming (think Ikazuchi at Musashigawa) -

Is there a chance these moves could indicate unannounced and/or upcoming ownership changes? -

Just noticed also that Sendagawa-oyakata (ex-Tokushoryu) has moved from Kise-beya to Nishikido-beya. -
After quite some time Ishikawa has now officially been hired as of this month (list en, list jp, profile); he's joining the sumo world as Shikimori Tomosaburo 式守 友三郎. You might notice that the first kanji of the given name is also present in his real given name, albeit with a different reading. The remainder may be a reference to his shisho Otowayama (ex-Kakuryu), who has gone by Rikisaburo since his active days.

A recent change to https://www.sumo.or.jp/IrohaKyokaiMember/oyakata/ indicates that sanyo Kagamiyama (ex-Tagaryu) has moved from Isenoumi-beya to Oitekaze-beya; it appears the update occurred yesterday, March 31. Kagamiyama is the third sanyo to be attached to Oitekaze now, whatever that means. -
And the experiments continue. Some of the videos are now "members only". You need to become a member and that will cost around seven US dollars per month. For now, only to access the archives, another new feature. The dailies are still free, but I have a feeling that in the near future they will show all bouts and you will need to be a member to watch everything on the channel. Probably not live, but a few minutes after the end of the day, as they have been doing lately, now around 12 bouts per day, upping the number of bouts daily slowly but Shirley. https://www.youtube.com/@sumo-video

He can retire any time he wants but maybe he's thinking to try at least once to return to juryo. Or just seeing how his health develops to gauge if there's any hope to do so.
-
At this rate, it's unlikely he'll retire before next tournament, correct?
-
Did I miss something? Haven't seen any announcement about him retiring. Easy mistake as we have spent more time discussing Hokutofuji than any of the guys who have officially retired.

"the town mayor and the Sugaru sumo jinku club performed an Onosato support jinku" I wonder how Onosho felt at his retirement party when they started singing songs for Onosato - I get that Onosato is popular, but that seems a bit much
-
Hokutofuji was one of my favorites. I am sorry to see him retire at that age.
-
I hope those bottles didn't end up in unbecoming places...

In other words, literally something like "the big (guy) of (his) hometown". You'll see a lot of X no Y shikona-- 'no sato' is "of (their) village", 'no umi' is "of the sea", and "no fuji" is "of (Mount) fuji", which are all reasonably popular. However, in a lot of cases they're also references to another rikishi (especially one's coach) or the stable. Kisenosato is Onosato's coach, and so the 'no sato' here is (at least in part) a reference to him. Kisenosato in turn is named for Takanosato, his coach. (Takanosato got the taka in his name from his stable's tradition, so this is where the 'no sato' comes from. Not sure what the story is behind that: that's already into the 1960s.)

Updated Emperor’s Cup Leaderboard (Active Rikishi)
Reonito replied to John Gunning's topic in Ozumo Discussions
Looking forward to Yokozuna Mitakeumi and Onosato being challenged by Ozeki Tamawashi, Kirishima, and Hoshoryu in the upcoming tournament. And the up-and-coming yusho winners like Asanoyama can aim for the upper ranks. Seriously though, highest career ranks of the 12 active yusho winners: 1 Yokozuna (current), 6 Ozeki (2 current), 4 Sekiwake (1 current), 1 Maegashira.
