Here is this year's update to my sumo A-Z. Apologies for its lateness. The picture strips, accessible by clicking on the faces of rikishi, oyakata et cetera, now cover (up to) 20 years of history. Some top 10 trivia, (initially triggered by the fact that it seemed that Yuki was a common name and I wanted to check how common) and relevant to the November 2018 banzuke on which these pages are based, are shown below: Shusshin Rikishi surname Rikishi given name Shikona second name Tokyo 56 Sato 14 Yuki 22 Yuki 20 Osaka 42 Yamamoto 8 Shota 13 Tsuyoshi 10 Aichi 41 Sasaki 7 Hiroki 11 Akira 9 Hyogo 35 Tanaka Ryo 10 Hiroki Fukuoka 33 Watanabe Yuta Sho Kagoshima 32 Ito 6 Kazuki 9 Shota 8 Kanagawa 28 Maeda Daiki 8 Takashi Saitama 27 Saito Sho Yuta Chiba 24 Suzuki Daisuke 7 Hikaru 7 Mongolia Inoue 5 Kenta Kazuki Kimura Takahiro Ryosuke Yamaguchi Taro Yoshida

Well I have forgotten their names already. I did it under 10 seconds after reading their names in the first place. There are those that can do things and those that can only criticise.

She's telling him how proud she is of him and he is trying not to cry. They aren't shaking hands. She's holding onto his arm.
