It is not black, but dark blue. And his shikona is written on it:

Speculating Hakuho's future (split from Corona thread)
Tsubame replied to Kintamayama's topic in Ozumo Discussions
I cannot see Hakuho subordinate himself as an oyakata. At least not for a long period of time. My bet/guess would be: He will stay as Hakuho oyakata for 1-3 years leading his Hakuho stable, but as Kintamayama wrote, will soon leave for the bigger money in the free economy. -
Y Hakuho (1), O/Y Takakeisho (3) S Mitakeumi (1) M Terunofuji (1)

one Yusho two good bBashos, but alot of kyujos a good 13 win streak in a single basho no zensho yes, in Aki 2021

Non-K-November basho 2020 Discussion (spoiler space)
Tsubame replied to Akinomaki's topic in Honbasho Talk
You forgot Terunofuji on the list. I am curious... Am I the only one NOT seeing Terunofuji returning to ozeki? He is now in a (banzuke) position, where he has to fight the best sumotori on a regular basis. And his fightig style relys heavily on strength and force. I cannot see his body maintaining top performance over three bashos for 33 wins or even more. Is he someone to recon with for a yusho? Definitely, yes. But returning to ozeki-hood? No. I just cannot see this. -
This IS the July 2020 Basho thread!! Spoilers!!
Tsubame replied to Kintamayama's topic in Honbasho Talk
He has shown this strange non-squat tachi-ai for a couple of days now. -
Promotion/Demotion and Yusho discussion Haru 2020
Tsubame replied to Asashosakari's topic in Honbasho Talk
Only one of the seven others didn't made it to yokozuna. So, quite a nice company he is joining there. #FiringUpTheHopes -
When do we start talking about Aoiyamas yusho and the beginning of his ozeki run? #justkidding

OoC: Could there be a Hakuho-style dohyo-iri?
Tsubame replied to Tsubame's topic in Ozumo Discussions
Not exactly, as he doesn't raise his hand up in the air in the second part of the dohoyo-iri before the last "stomp", but rather hold his kesho-mawashi with both hands. It is only a marginal variation, a henka, but this observation brought me this this question. As compared to Wakanohana III, you will not see this position or part at the end: -
As the title already said: Could there be a new third Hakuho-style dohyo-iri? As Hakuho is already slightly altering his original picked Shiranui-style, I wonder now for quite some time, if it is possible that he will intruduce an unique dohyo-iri style someday?! As far as I know there should be no rule that explicitly forbits a new style, or am I wrong? And as he is where he is, I can totally imagine that he wants to have his very own style. So I am curious: what are you thinking about this matter?!

When does the Tokushoryu-Next-Ozeki-Hypetrain depart?
-
It has to be. With set 42 rikishi in Makuuchi, there is no lower rank then M17w possible.
-
I guess Endo forgot to engage Basho-mode today...
-
With Tochinoshin being MK tomorrow, he will be trading places with Takakeisho (S <-> O) twice this year!

Since when it is not acceptable to lose against a certain rikishi?! What strange standard is that?!
