Yeah wow, this explains why he didn't retire much sooner. Good for him.

I sure hope to see a bunch of future -giku suffixed rikishi. His was one of my favourite shikona to yell enthusiatically.

Stay tuned for intai announcement from Chiyonokuni*... *Speculating only.

A sad, but long overdue decision. Like many, Tochinoshin's resurgence was the story that captured my attention and got me into being a full-fledged sumo fan. The fact he achieved what he did with his injuries is pretty spectacular. A career to be proud of.

All FOUR suitors! Here's how it's gonna go down. 12-1 Kiribayama = 11 + 12 + 12 = 35 over 3 all at Junior Sanyaku with a Yusho and a Jun-yusho, he's in! 15-0 Hoshoryu = 8 + 10 + 15 = 33 all at Sekiwake with a zensho to clinch it, he's in! 13-1 Daieisho = 10 + 12 + 13 = 35 over 3 plus a Doten and Jun-Yusho; he's in! 13-1 Wakamotoharu = 9 + 11 + 13 = 33 all at Junior sanyaku plus a Doten and Jun-Yusho; he's in! Let me have this, Takayasu has crippled my hopes yet again EDIT: I just noticed my dodgy maths (12-1, 13-1, 13-1). I'm leaving it here as a testament to my terrible post-copy-paste double-checking.

You know the other day I had a thought in bed "wait a minute, did I include in my automation when you STOP updating results?" And I forgot about that until now, lol. This sounds like next week's problem.

I haven't read through this comprehensively, but well done @thatsumoguy. I got frustrated with NSK's blocking of javascript/refusal to accept api's and bailed.

This Deepfake technology keeps getting more and more sophisticated.

I can't believe I'm a week late to the announcement. Great choice though.

I deeply feel for you. We're all the worse of for it.

Now now, let's all stop mentioning Takayasu before day 13. I can't handle 11 days of raised hopes.

So we're all agreed. He is from Brazil.

I still get night sweats re-living the Iima conversation.

I notice abema is a sponsor -- is the tournament usually broadcast?
