He now has 168kg (NHK: 165kg)/185cm and wants to gain 5kg more to have more power.

A koenkai by Atami citizens is planned for the first sekitori from Atami.

He has a great face!  You can tell by his eyes that he is smiling, even with a mask on.  And he is smiling throughout this ordeal, which is a very positive sign.

I wonder if his first kesho mawashi will come from them. Because by now, I would guess that a kesho mawashi should be already being made for March.

More likely Hiryu High, which he attended. Midorifuji was a senpai of his, and you can see a keshomawashi from Hiryu among one of his:

https://isegahama.net/翠富士-一成/

The Atami koenkai is probably going to be presenting one sooner or later, though, but that being a more "custom" job will take more time than the school ones methinks. The school kesho mawashi are pretty much a standard design just with the sekitori's name changed.

Yeah, that makes sense. Recalling now, the most recent juryo debut I can think of (Hokuseiho), did debut with the Tottori high school one. So yeah, probably it will be one from Hiryu High
