ScottyJoyJrBebe 97 Posted April 26, 2016 Look at Kotoyuki, smiling like he just won the lottery. here's hoping that this is the start of MUCH greater things for him. HHHHUUUU!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shumitto 419 Posted April 26, 2016 They mentioned this last event at the Kokugikan on the news. They also said, and I didn't know, that Nishikigi was tsukebito to Ikioi for some time. Needless to say, Ikioi's goal is his first kachikoshi from San'yaku. It is also been 16 years since the last Makuuchi debut from Iwate-ken (Tochinohana). They also highlighted the fact that Kotoyuki had to overcome a serious left knee injury to get where he is today and that it took Nishikigi more than 10 years to finally reach Makuuchi. Unfortunately, they didn't say much about Kaisei. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
