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.

Oshoumi, Shishi, Tochinoshin, Bushozan, Nishikigi, Kotoeko, ...

Hakuoho appeared at the rikishi-kai today with his first mage

o oo oo o o o oo

"The hair doesn't have to be fixed after keiko, so I can concentrate more on it"  - training at the heya location in Osaka had started, off-limits to the media and the public now

Takakeisho was at the rikishi-kai today - Takerufuji obviously not - both are officially kyujo and not yet fit. Takakeisho is only doing the basics so far: "I'm not thinking about the future now"

o

the Y/O all present, a new name there

o o o

The external chairman of the compliance committee gave a 30min lecture: "No violence please, it disrupts the life as a rikishi." The traditional lecture for all NSK members about violence will be given in June.

How old is this tradition, I wonder?

Apparently some rikishi didn’t attend the meeting. If they did then they must have slept through it.

Typically, corporate "Violence in the workplace" trainings are designed in order to absolve the company of any potential liability - "look, we trained them, not our fault!".

Watching last year's video for the first time now. Interesting how nobody recognised, or at least named, Takerufuji between Kitanowaka and Roga. How things have changed.

Have a guess which violence scandal triggered it - use a remote control to select the answer

At the rikishi-kai of the sekitori today

Onosato on official ozeki run - he needs 12 for the standard 33: "I don't care about future things. I want to properly do the 15 days right in front of me, without thinking too much" - interviewed afterwards

o o

o o o o o o o o

He also was on duty for the fan photos attached to special tickets

o

 

Asanoyama is still a member - for the last time (for a while?) - already walking straight after surgery last month, with knee supporter "Walking is rehab as well"

o ooo o o

also smiling at Ichiyamamoto, who was the opponent in the bout he got his grave injury

o

also Onosho had surgery last month - on the right ankle o - no info if he was there today - but another kyujo man was there: Takayasu o

 

Also Takakeisho was in good mood - while talking to Daieisho

oo ooo o

else a rather sombre first public appearance after a month - Kotozakura with his new back pain also is not in a bright mood

o o o o

 

All on photo duty for the Aki basho special B tickets: Onosato, Takanosho, Oho, Shonannoumi

Terunofuji and Hoshoryu at the rikishi-kai on Christmas Eve

o o o o

"Better than last basho" (8 training bouts so far, after 4.5 months again)  "There's still time, if I speed up a bit more ..." he might be at the basho (for a day or so)

o o

Hoshoryu properly started his first challenge for yokozuna, but "I don't think about it, I'd become tense"

o o o o o o

later joined by Kirishima

o

[Akinomaki 41,831]

Hoshoryu after start of keiko in Osaka went to the Edion Arena for the Haru basho rikishi-kai yesterday - his first as yokozuna

o

is this enough hinkaku?

o  

[Akinomaki 41,831]

First rikishi-kai in the new venue in Nagoya - afterwards a tour around the place

o o

 

Takayasu not shown on banzuke day, but there - looking not that happy after his historical non-demotion

o

but with a slight smile: "Luck, what for? I want to gambarize."

[Akinomaki 41,831]

At the rikishi-kai, the retired rikishi who will have an intai-zumo after the upcoming basho, appear to thank the rikishi for performing there for him without charge.

Takakeisho is the next, on Oct. 4th, Myogiryu the next day, Aoiyama has no intai-zumo, his danpatsu-shiki will be on Sep. 7th at the kokugikan event floor, for related people he invited

I'm afraid I have to say that Takakeisho looks extremely unhealthy with this weight loss now - more like a 70 year old in this photo

o

o

Wakatakakage was interviewed before the start

o  o  o o  o o o

also Tamawashi

o o o

Endo was there

the 3 from Takasago-beya to juryo for Aki

[I am the Yokozuna 222]

Could that severe weight loss be caused by his chronic neck pain and some inflammation caused by it? 

[Morning 99]

More likely one of the weight loss medications.
