Yamanashi 3,689 Posted June 3 According to the db, Shikihide was open as a heya from 1940-43 and 1951-54, then 1992-present. From the rikishi listed, Sensho was the only Shikihide Sekitori in this or the last century. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saburo 18 Posted June 24 Wow, I had no idea Wily had gone into acting. I really remember his quick rise up to Makushita. Anyone remember a showdown match between him and Kushima in 1988 or so? He blitzed the former college yokozuna off the dohyo in like a couple seconds, my memory tells me. Really thought he'd become the first sekitori in Azumazeki, but twas not to be. RIP.

He appeared in 171 episodes of "Hawaii Five-0" and basically hated to work outside of Hawaii (which may have restricted his career possibilities). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
