In the comments of this post Konishiki says Wakaichiro retired

since we're talking about kimarite, here's a video I made of all of the techniques used in the top division. Thanks for all of your hard work on this @Yubinhaad love hearing about all of the super rare ones!

They've announced Midorifuji, Wakamotoharu, Chiyonoumi, Akiseyama, and Hakuyozan are up from Makushita to Juryo

Would it be easier for him to get a kabu if he got to the sanyaku ranks?

I saw Arawashi has a KV50 of 15.8, which seems pretty high to me. I found this old post about KV50, but is there a newer ranking of wrestlers by KV50? http://www.sumoforum.net/forums/topic/12746-sumo-reference-updates/?page=6

I was looking through your videos for footage of cool Arawashi kimarite but I mostly found oshiwashi

Arawashi :/

He probably wasn't stoked about losing to a guy who's never been a sekitori... I agree about the practice thing. Fights break out in football practice or even in non-contact sport practice. This isn't to say that fighting is totally fine, but in this situation, nobody got hurt, and nobody was defenseless. Ishiura shouldn't be punching lower ranked wrestlers.

Is there a way to find new weights for everybody?

Maybe we could get updated pictures of Meisei, Kotoeko, Ryuden, and Takanosho? Their current pictures are from their unsalaried days.

Since it’s kimarite-related, I’m sharing this video here:

We'll miss your videos! I will anyways. Wouldn't have stayed interested in sumo without these daily recaps. Thanks for everything Moti!

If you missed the Juryo action, today was a really exciting day! I put some playoff bouts in here too.

Thanks for watching everybody!

sorry it's so late! day 15 coming up in a few hours!

Does Gagamaru have an official injury listed? Or is he just getting old?

I don't know if Gagamaru has any listed injuries, but he has been looking really unfit the whole basho. I think he is on the way out, sadly.

If you have some insider info about the intentions of the Kyokai, Rocks, please fill us in. But without any of that, it looks to me like there’s a young unusual but marketable prospect that they’re promoting. People like him because he’s a physical anomaly and he can still win. He can throw most people, he can win with leg trip techniques, he can win by yorikiri and oshidashi. And who cares who old ladies root for as long as they pay for tickets! To reduce him or anyone else to a mascot is to make light of their career as a wrestler. And Enho even started from the bottom, unlike Yutakayama who had a Sandanme Tsukedashi.

I just came back to post about this! Mainoumi was the last one to pull it off in day 13 of Aki 1992.
