Rikishi-kai reports

[Akinomaki 39,796]

At the rikishi-kai today, the sekitori wrote their wishes for Tanabata - just like last year

On 07/07/2018 at 17:26, Akinomaki said:

the special Tanabata dohyo matsuri

the wishes shown already at the rikishi-kai were activated on the Tanabata wish tree - Tochinoshin and Mitakeumi

Tochinoshin wishes for the yusho

but he forgot the center -shin/kokoro (heart) 心 part in the kanji for yusho 優勝 - Kotoyuki added a paper: important is the heart

This year Tanabata is on day 1, shonichi.

Tochinoshin gave up on Japanese letters this time, but still got it wrong: no injury, kega shinai (y)o ni - for safety he wrote it also in Georgian

o 

Mitakeumi: succeed with diet  - he thinks he is too fat and wants to get under 170kg till Tanabata o

writing the wish with Abi

o

Tamawashi - plain and clear:

o

as was Hakuho: "V43"

the NSK with more: Chiyomaru (back to makuuchi upper ranks), Meisei (I want a camera), Enho (get the ginosho)

vidvid vid

Daieisho (get strong), Onosho (I want a healthy body), Myogiryu (one step back and only forward), Nishikigi (sansho)

o ooo

juryo: Tokushoryu (calmly aiming for higher), Kizakiumi (aim for kachikoshi), Azumaryu (I get the yusho)

oo o

 

Takakeisho: "Know and master myself"

o

afterwards the usual baby hug event - with plenty of bigger kids

o

and Takakeisho got interviewed about his plans: enter the basho, do as much as possible - aim for the yusho, and if he fails to keep his rank, restart the quest again

Hey, it’s only right that Tochinoshin leaves the ‘shin’ out! He is Tochi-no-shin, after all.

The Nagoya basho NSK Tanabata wish tree was first installed last year. Many spectators had fun and took photos of the tree and its "leaves" - the event is a success.

Last year Chiyotairyu as wish had "I need money", this year he picked a way to get enough of it.

With enough spectacular wins, he might get the attention of a rich sponsor.

Sanoyama and Araiso appeared in rikishi style at the rikishi-kai today to give the customary thanks in advance to the sekitori, who will perform without charge for them at their upcoming intai-zumo events, Sep. 28th and 29th. Sanoyama told that just a few tickets were left for his: "Please think of it as Aaiso's eve (zenya-sai) and enjoy."

 The rikishi-kai on the 25th demanded the reinstatement of some kind of koushou system for injury exemption. NSK no.2 Oguruma showed the intention to consider something of the kind. He also explained the results of the recent lecture for the oyakata at the toshiyori-kai about violence prevention, and promised that they will change the timing of influenza vaccination, in reaction to the disaster of this jungyo. Vaccination should take place after the Kyushu-basho, but those going to the jungyo often have it delayed till afterwards.

Takayasu was absent, apparently with the flue. In the morning at the heya he had done only shiko stamping and did quit early. http://www.sanspo.com/sports/news/20191225/sum19122517280005-n1.html

Can someone identify the rikishi in order of appearance? I'm ashamed to admit that without the props, I recognized maybe 10.. Also, you can tell who is nice and who is a snotty noble.
