Tamanoi Stable has 28 rikishi, including 2 sekitori: Azumaryu and Fujiazuma both in the Juryo division.

The entire Tamanoi stable has withdrawn from the September basho due to COVID-19. It was just on the news in Japan, should be on the news feeds shortly.

latest Behind the Curtain article is posted here. https://sumo-news.blogspot.com/

all the front covers of all the Sumo World magazine are now online. https://www.sumoworld.net/

well, my foray into YouTube continues, here is my 5th upload.

@Swami i totally agree, i prefer paper. Clyde seems to still print a limited number, i think this makes him quality for a press card from NSK. I might have a duplicate or two post 2002. let me know, happy to send any duplicates to you. i wanted to get something on Instagram, so hence the back cover pictures.

just read an old Sumo World issue about 2 Hawaiian kids joining sumo September 1976, one whole hour of shiko every morning!

i cannot get enough of these pictures of the rikishi carrying his bride-to-be, so crazy cute!

that's a lot of shiko! supposedly one of the most important exercises in sumo. does anyone know that the expected shiko per day that a rikishi is suppose to do. for some reason the number 100 pops up in my mind....

Tochiozan was always a favorite of mine, sorry to see him go.

they usually look sharp in a suit. i found that the hardest part is that they have no clue on how to put on a tie.

bad acoustics in this room. will recording in the dining room again next week.

did anyone that some of Clyde Newton's material is available on Amazon for your Kindle? https://tinyurl.com/y8odtdnz
