Takanoyama won his bout against Kiozan but he had a lot of difficulties and didn't look convincing at all.

Kotokasuga has a lot of supporters in Fukuoka, never seen this before, nobody shouts for him in Tokyo.

Geisha procession, seems they were Chiyotaikai supporters, they left the hall after his bout, didn't wait for Kotomitsuki and the Yokozuna.

Hakuho looked demonstrative the other way when they left, quite impolite these women.

Every Kyuushuu-basho and most of days, they came and left before Musubi.

I have no ideas the truth, but I've heard that they do not want to disturb others, so leave before Musubi.

They can not walk fast. Kimono is too havy??(Whistling...)

Edit - Nikon D80 - I just clicked on the properties of one of the photos (Whistling...)

nice, my friend got married this year and he "loaned" me his Nikon D80 to take photos of the wedding, a very nice camera

On Saturday, they did their exit routine right after the Kaio match, which was also second from last.
