Kintamayama 44,263 Posted January 4, 2017 Newly-wed Kotoyuuki participated in the Nishonoseki Ichimon rengo keiko, held today at Oguruma beya. She calls him "Yuusan" and he calls her "Run". No mention of their past head to heads. "There are good times and bad times. I will be able to gambarize with someone supportive by my side. " he said. She is a good cook and sent him off with some onigiri to the keiko this morning. "She says she hopes I can remain active for as long as possible. As for my achievements, all kinds of people may say all kinds of things about me but I have to shut the noise out. Using this feeling as an incentive, I hope to rack up those wins! " he said earnestly. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 18,669 Posted January 12, 2017 Is it likely to be universally respected or will the tabloids eventually write about her anyway? (Not that Tokushoryu is that much of a reporter magnet, I reckon.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have been going our for a year and a half. The wedding reception was in a hotel in Tokyo, about 230 guests, esp. from Dewanoumi-ichimon, Ura and Mitakeumi among them. Their parents' houses were about 80m apart, but 5 years apart they weren't acquainted - at age 13 he left to study at sports schools and she left early as well. She was working in Germany as an architect (apparently here) and had been giving lectures there at university (maybe Frankfurt-UAS). They met as the two were back in Bulgaria after the Natsu basho 2015 - at the dinner party of a friend of both they sat at the same table. Then at first a romance from afar between Japan and Germany. In April she did quit the job and came to Japan, since July they lived together and registered the marriage on Aug 30th. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1781231.html http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20170219-OHT1T50127.html o o o o o Edited February 20, 2017 by Akinomaki 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 39,549 Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Chiyonokuni (26) on the 25th registered his marriage with same age Ai Hayashi (now Sawada), originally from Sakai-city, after a 7year relation. The first kinboshi (sumo slang for a beauty) before his first yokozuna bout, which should come with the rank he'll have next basho. The marriage reception is planned for Feb. 17th. They had met when he was still makushita, before Haru 2010 at the dinner party of a friend. After the basho he asked her 2 times for a date and it became a relation. She worked at a golf shop in Osaka, and Natsu 2014, when he was in makuuchi, he made her to move to Tokyo. But he dropped to makushita again after injury and the apartment he payed for became to expensive - she had to move to a smaller one, 1 room only (as unmarried non-sekitori he had to live in the heya). During the 7 basho it took to return to juryo, she got a driver's license and the qualification as athlete body-care self-trainer (from the same Athlete food meister inc. where Kotoshogiku's wife got her qualification), while working till end of March for an airline at Haneda airport. He proposed to her after the Hatsu-basho, first he had intended to wait till he got to sanyaku, but she told him "How about joining forces to get you to sanyaku?" and he got the resolve to marry then. http://www.chunichi.co.jp/chuspo/article/sumo/news/CK2017042602000141.html Edited April 26, 2017 by Akinomaki 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RabidJohn 1,637 Posted May 29, 2017 ^^She makes Ishiura look big! Just had a quick flick back through the last couple of pages, and amongst the usual tarento, childhood sweethearts, etc. are two former nursery teachers, a nurse and a care worker. Are these on a list of approved occupations for potential okami-san? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
