Kintamayama 47,171 Posted July 3, 2003 After joining the local fire brigade for one day a few days ago, Takamisakari joined the police force for one day today. Azumazeki-beya volunteered for a day of traffic safety duty(including Oyakata and Akebono Oyakata), by handing out leaflets and such. Sakari was mobbed by 2000 screaming fans. He was calling out stuff like "If you are drinking sake, for Heaven's sake (hehehe) don't drive", etc. I wonder if this is part of the community service promised after Touki ran over that woman a few years back. It says this is the third year, so I may have a point here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted July 3, 2003 Was Takamisakari more popular than Akebono? (Punk rocker...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zentoryu 154 Posted July 3, 2003 Was Takamisakari more popular than Akebono? I don't think there's any question he's more popular than Akebono (at least amongst Japanese sumo fans). Akebono never got this kind of fan reaction when he was active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
