Kamitsuumi

Takayasu and Mori Konomi finally had their wedding on the 2nd at Tsukubasan Shrine. They will hold their reception on the 17th in Tokyo.

No, it's just that he is among the three juryō rikishi that have demotable records (and additionally there were two sekitori retirements), and five promotions from makushita were announced. This made his demotion to makushita all but sealed.

Either Enho can use the Hōchiyama clause (28 basho + oyakata as guarantor) or *tinfoil hat on* inherit Miyagino and let Hakuhō branch out.

That looks like a barrel of sake, not mochi

That count is currently three with Asasekiryū, Kyokutenhō, and now Ichinojō. Safe to say that Tamawashi will be joining them as well.

Myōgiryū acquired the Furiwake kabu, for much less than ¥100M, according to this interview with Ushiomaru's widow: https://www.news-postseven.com/archives/20230530_1873621.html?DETAIL

Is it not from the ancient province name itself, Hōki Province (abbreviationed Hakushū)?

To be fair, it's the same people.

Could this be the first time that (non-kyujo) sanyaku rikishi have the same record for each rank on day 8? Y: 8-0 O: 6-2 S: 6-2 K: 3-5

I, Tochinoshin, have retired today. I would like to thank my fans for their support over the past 17 years. Since everyone has been cheering for me, I (was able to complete my sumo career.) Thank you very much for your support.

Not a single Japanese article on this yet, so I'm still skeptical. Could someone give a translation of this linked Facebook video?

Takayasu hurt his right hip adductor muscles (inside of the thigh). His medical certificate prescribed three weeks' rest, so he is unlikely to rejoin the basho.

It's the sumo training institute. You can find its entrance on the southeast side of the Kokugikan on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/WjSd8fdQNLHhKP6w7

You need to sort by the record instead: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query.aspx?show_form=0&form1_rank=J&form1_y=on&sort_basho=2&sort_by=record&offset=500

This is in fact an "involuntary" resignation, which is how it's a lighter punishment reputation-wise. Correspondingly, the financial punishment is lighter as well.
