Minezaki scandal

Recommended Posts

Yet another report of violence spotted by Tachiai blogger Herouth, this time involving Minezaki beya.  According to her overview of the original article, neither rikishi informed the oyakata at the time, but rather the incidents came to his attention after the victim's retirement via a letter from the victim's father.  The NSK will make a decision at the end of the month but concerning private proceedings, the matter is being settled out of court [parties seemingly unidentified in the article].

The junior deshi is probably Kaigou. As for the attacker, I'm guessing on and off Korean veteran of 19 years Soranoumi, better known in the past as Ryuukiyama. I certainly hope it's not Arawashi.. Or maybe Mongolian Gochouzan (Tourugawa). One of these three. Or not. (Three foreigners in one heya?) OK, Hanakago, Araiso, yeah, yeah..

Looks like they deleted the original and posted it anew - the content seems substantially the same to me, although I can't vouch that it's completely identical.

Edit: In case it goes missing again:

Sanspo says that Minezaki-oyakata conferred with the board of directors and suggested that the offender sit out the rest of Haru basho; the board agreed with that course of action. So I guess we'll know by tomorrow, via Day 10 fusenpai and/or Day 11 kyujo. The board will still be dealing with the case officially in their regular meeting on the 29th, along with the Takayoshitoshi stuff.

So, this guy from Minezaki-beya did not appear on Day 10.

The Minezaki beya rikishi who attacked another rikishi four times and caused him to leave sumo, got a one-basho suspension. Minezaki Oyakata himself will get a 10% salary reduction for two months.
