Kintamayama 47,342 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Former Oyakata who is still appealing, wrote a book- "I did yaocho but I was framed for the death of my deshi!" Real name of the book-no joke. He is openly admitting to doing yaocho while active. Be ready for more in the coming days. Edited July 16, 2011 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 47,342 Posted July 21, 2011 "I was framed. All I did was nudge him (Tokitaizan, the recruit who was bullied to death) with a beer bottle. When I was active, after I was promoted to Juryo I did yaocho ten times. Sorry, but I can't tell you who my opponents were," said ex-Tokitsukaze Oyakata in an interview today on Niciniconico.
