rokudenashi

I've just signed up, nice site. Looking forward to playing It might have been mentioned elsewhere, but Hakuōhō's picture shows Nagamura from Kise-beya. I guess the URL should be changed from https://sumo.or.jp/img/sumo_data/rikishi/60x60/20230003.jpg to https://sumo.or.jp/img/sumo_data/rikishi/60x60/20230004.jpg - just one digit off.

It isn’t, Wauke is a relatively uncommon Okinawan surname, concentrated in Uruma city and the surrounding area https://myoji-yurai.net/sp/searchResult.htm?myojiKanji=和宇慶

I believe this fella is ex-Ōtake-beya's Hamasaki who retired last September.

Iwadanuki and I are in.

Hoping for a tomoesen in jūryō tomorrow - Hakuōhō just needs to beat Shishi (1-0 H2H) and Tokihayate needs to beat Shirokuma (3-1 H2H)

On behalf of Iwadanuki I can say that she is very much looking forward to getting the hell out of maezumō…

Hello Achiyama-san Should Kirishima - Takakeishō be included in the list as well?

My partner would like to participate... she's not on the forum but her shikona will be "Iwadanuki". Cheers

As much as I’d like to see Shōnannoumi get his Kotofuji moment, I predict he’ll get blasted down to a 10-5. That’ll start tomorrow when he faces Abi who is hunting his kachikoshi and 2-0 in their H2H. Another 11-4 playoff looks increasingly likely

The Shunjūen Incident

I guess that’s including recently retired Yūki.

Do you know why that is? I figured the traditional character is still fairly well known, and at least on my Japanese IMEs typing in さくら brings up both characters straight away. That akeni also looks rather old…

For what it’s worth, the papers are all reporting the name 琴桜, i.e. using the simplified kanji for sakura, not the 櫻 used by his grandfather. As standard, he’ll keep using Kotonowaka for the upcoming jungyō; the change will formally take place upon the release of the Natsu banzuke

70kg of mass too…
