Iwagakki 0 Posted July 13, 2003 Anyone know what Wakanohana is up to these days? He's been awfully "invisible" for such a publicity magnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yubiquitoyama 4 Posted July 13, 2003 Anyone know what Wakanohana is up to these days? He's been awfully "invisible" for such a publicity magnet. I heard something of him running a chanko restaurant when Taka's danpatsu-shiki was up, but I don't remember more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanobaka 0 Posted July 13, 2003 As of January, he was doing color commentary. Not sure what he's up to now, but that's where I last saw him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted July 14, 2003 Seems like he's very active: a writer, a commentator, and a restaurant owner. Wow... Is it fairly routine for ex-rikishi to comment on sumo matches on TV/radio? It's very common here in the US for athletes to join TV/radio coverage of their sport once they retire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
