Urmashiyama

Great Kyushu again! Well, times are not the same as maybe 13 years ago (and sumo doesn't have Hakuho, of course) and the tournament is still young, etc, but could Ichiyamamoto find that motivation and that energy to become Toyonoshima2.0 or even...?

Greeting Hokuseiho Sandanme yusho I noticed (via sumodb) that Mikumayama Yoshio won 2 consecutive Sandanme yushos in the year of 1929. Nowdays it is impossible to go for another yusho in Sandanme, probably. But can anybody say something about the after sumo life of that rikishi?

Tochinoshin got Yusho when Hakuho was out. So did Goeido, Takakeisho and also gorgeous Mitakeumi. So it looked to be a very clever planning by Mitakeumi as well . Hakuho's absence allways drives everybody's motivation that high. But Takakeisho himself has been the miracle for me.

Tokitenku ( and his ketaguris).
