    It is the guy on the left of the screen facing directly us, on the behind right for the gyoji on the dohyo, he is the one that opens his hand when the gyoji bows to the side, signalling its matta-nashi.

    He is the younger brother of 2. His older brother Riki was also a pro wrestler and they were the duo Iihashi brothers, but Riki retired in 2022 according to a fan wiki. PS.: Yes, his sons are Ishin and Riki (made up of different kanji), but very creative.

    Retired after Nagoya 2025

    He is a known rakugo fan. There is a rakugo event where his former Oshiogawa heya will take part officially, maybe he decided to take another performer career and will be announced then as a rakugo student? Here is the news about it https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/photonews/photonews_nsInc_202507310001313-0.html

    Father-and-Son Sekitori Pairs

    In my very quick list yeah, based on the news article i first linked mentioning Oho-Mudoho, but Sponichi doesn't really make a difference on their table
  8. Isn't the natural path be him to take it over? Like, sure Tamakasuga is only 53, but surely they can use that temporary kabu former san'yaku get and then find a temporary kabu for Tamawashi and then have him take over the Kataonami name? But I guess kabus are really scarce right now

    Father-and-Son Sekitori Pairs

    So, all newspapers (as exemplified by the Sponichi graph) don't count multiple siblings as different pairs, so they are included in the same "pair". Kakureizan/Tsurufuji just made juryo, while his younger brothers Sakahoko and Terao did make Sekiwake.

    Father-and-Son Sekitori Pairs

    That was his grandad, same as the Onami family
  13. With Nishinoryu's promotion to juryo, news articles have been mentioning he and his dad moto-Tsunenoyama are the 14th pair of father-son sekitori. I then tried to find all other pairs but my memory only took me to these: Fujinokawa (Wakaikari) - Oikari Oho - Takatoriki (a news article I read said that as Oho was promoted first Mudoho's promotion doesn't count, so I guess multiple sons don't count) Kotozakura - Kotonowaka Sadanoumi - Sadanoumi Takanohana - Takanohana Kakureizan & Sakahoko - Tsurugamine (both were promoted at the same time) Masuiyama - Masuiyama (first ever modern sumo ozeki father-son pair) Those are 7 pairs, who else am I forgetting?

    They just announced, to balance Aonishiki’s promotion to maegashira 0, Shimanoumi gets juryo 20 next basho
