I take it Hakuho won the Yokozuna bout?

Yes, yorikiri.

Deleting the blank lines in the quotes with the BBCode Editor is useless - they appear again. Deleting the first otherwise destroys the top quote and transports the quote remains to the bottom, like this:

I take it Hakuho won the Yokozuna bout?

Yes, yorikiri.

The five dancing rikishi were Asahisho, Daikiho, Hakkairyu, Haruhikari and Kasugashima. They rehearsed their moves backstage, as seen in these pics from the Kyokai:

And this was the result:

Ikioi clearly was the best singer, his "Arigatou" was flawless. Masunoyama was not bad, his lungs work all right for singing.

He wants to keep the 180kg for his 180cm, telling he was about to gain
more weight and is thinking of a diet. He used to eat for 10.

3 years old he already had 40kg, at 11 90kg.

Masunoyama was not bad, his lungs heart work all right for singing.

I thought this might come as a response.

I believe though, the fact that his lungs are small is still valid - it just isn't the main reason for his 20sec action limit. I guess the lungs are more important to singing than the heart - the organ I mean.

And thankfully, here he is:

Looks like the Charity Tournament will be on TV Japan this Saturday, Feb. 23, 2:30 pm Eastern, 11:30 am Pacific (US).

[Benevolance 2,356]

Good looking, great singer. If Ikioi can polish his sumo enough to reach the upper sanyaku, the sumo PR campaigns would practically write themselves.

Wow ikioi has a great voice, here he is doing an enka:
