    Nishonoseki Beya Drinking Party Scandal

    Hmm, Tokoake (Tokokasumi) made his debut in May 2024, branched out with Nakamura and retired in September, wouldnt be surprised if that was him.

    Yumitori-shiki rikishi news

    There was Oga from when Asashoryu was Yokozuna. And many before that iirc. I think the first bow-twirler recorded from when the ceremony started being held everyday was a makuuchi wrestler in 1952.

    In front of the boss too! Nervous debut I can imagine

    Terunofuji intends to retire

    https://www.sumo.or.jp/Oyakata/profile/410/ Now in the oyakata list, under Takakeisho and above Miyagino. Terunofuji's oyakata first name is his real first name, Seizan (正山), not his shikona first name of Haruo.

    A question about the yokozuna dohyo-iri.

    Just a little typo, you`ve put Hakuho's stable as Magaki instead of Miyagino

    A question about the yokozuna dohyo-iri.

    This whole post is fascinating research!! Thank you

    A question about the yokozuna dohyo-iri.

    I dont recall seeing one, but off the top of my head I can recall, mostly based on photos Ive seen online: Takanohana taught-> Kakuryu Asahifuji taught-> Hakuho, Harumafuji, Terunofuji Akebono taught-> Asashoryu Edit: Im now going throught the internet and found photos of: Wakanohana I taught-> Onokuni taught-> Kisenosato Sadanoyama taught-> Mienoumi taught-> Musashimaru Takanosato taught-> Wakanohana III Chiyonoyama taught-> Kitanofuji taught-> Chiyonofuji taught -> Hokutoumi Taiho taught-> Wajima, Kotozakura (surprising but there is a photo that corroborates that), Tamanoumi Tochigiyama taught-> Tochinishiki taught-> Tochinoumi, Kitanoumi P.S.: Although I couldnt find direct photos, its only logical that Kitanofuji taught Hokutoumi too (Hankegami corrected me on this one) and that Wakanohana I taught Wakanohana II

    Back up, so truly it is back to its usual antics, but perhaps the 503 one will also become part of the normal server down shenanigans

    I would be more than happy to financially support (hopefully alongside others) a better server, if this is the problem after all... but not knowing what the problem is is even worse

    Rikishi of the past

    I think the kanji on the leftmost rikishi reads 大淀 (Oyodo). So it could be the 1871 Hatsu Oyodo, as he and then Arauma Shared some banzuke, with Oyodo in Juryo and Arauma in Makuuchi:

    Banzuke for Hatsu 2025

    Update on this: He is now Katsuki (勝希) still using the Ki from AKItaka. Pretty hard on separation, I wonder what has happened. Maybe he is great friend with now-same heya gyoji Kimura Katsunosuke??

    It was fully back earlier in the day for me, probably will be back later this week???

    This is being a bit scary, its never down so long, maybe the admin is just busy with holidays to put it back up right now.

    Sumo Reference Updates

    In the Takamiyama and Konishiki Grand Sumo Legends episode, we get an interview by Kida Mitsunari, former makushita Ichinotani. The DB lists his real name with a #, but I think with the name they mark him with in the interview we can confirm his name is indeed Kida Mitsunari.
