Kamitsuumi

Left is Dewanohana, right might be Oginohana

https://www.sumo.or.jp/IrohaKyokaiInformation/detail?id=434 Here's a notice from the NSK from 2021, so the app looks legitimate

No, he is Isegahama as of June 9th

Ishiura can reestablish the Miyagino stable without meeting the basho requirements for a standard branch-out, with the precendent being Kasugayama stable (reestablished as Nakagawa stable). However, it is doubtful whether he would otherwise be approved.

Yokozuna Hoshoryu was reported by Nikkan Sports to be in the process of acquiring Japanese citizenship.

I too saw Ozeki three hours ago. This obviously means NSK employees lurk this forum

That should translate to "still 60-70% to go (to recover the losses due to COVID)"

Now it's been reported that he hurt his elbow in the playoff matches

I only checked sekitori: Roho/Hakurozan Kyushu 2007 Toyozakura/Kitazakura Hatsu 2005 Takanohana/Wakanohana at ozeki

Is it a flattering angle or did ex-Takakeisho lose a few kilos?

The idea is that Harumafuji would branch out either way, but Terunofuji needed to be promoted to yokozuna earlier, so that he could retire before Harumafuji branches out.

Asashoryu mentioned, in an interview after Hoshoryu's Meiji Shrine dohyo-iri, that he thought the arm rotation looked weird. He speculates that it was caused by Hoshoryu breaking his arm a long time ago, having fallen off a horse

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind
