For the first and possibly the last time, Hakuho's stablemates, Ishiura and Enho, will be in makunouchi at the same time. If Hakuho was competing, they would be his attendants at the dohyo-iri. Unfortunately, Hakuho will probably go kyujo because of his injured arm. That dohyo-iri would have been wonderful to see but unfortunately, it won't happen. Hopefully, they will both stay in makuouchi for the Nagoya basho. But if they are, it's still not certain that Hakuho will be ready to compete at that time. 

Are there any occasions following the Natsu basho where he can perform the dohyo-iri with both Enho and Ishiura? As I said, it would be very nice to see that ceremony at least once.

Five rikishi from Tokitsukaze-beya will start the new era with their first proper shikona, starting in Makushita where Ohata is now Obayama - the last two kanji are the same as those of the great Yokozuna and heya founder Futabayama, no less.

Further down, two others pay tribute to their hometowns. Miyazaki is now Toyoshimizu, the last two kanji coming from his hometown Tosashimizu. Asakura is now Hakuomaru, the first kanji there is that of his hometown Kashiwa.

Next, Hayasaka is now Hamanoumi, following in the footsteps of his older brother Hamayutaka (and perhaps a tribute to Yokohama, albeit with a different kanji). Finally, Shiimori takes a more generic combination to become Wakayutaka.

Kise-beya's Kiseoka is now Kijuin, also making a given name change. Ijuin was a town in Kagoshima prefecture which was merged with others to create Hioki city (Kiseoka's shusshin) in 2005, so I think that's where this shikona comes from.

Over in Asahiyama-beya, the shisho (ex-Kotonishiki) honours two of his deshi with his second kanji. Yada is now Nishikio, while newcomer Ikegame makes his banzuke debut as Nishikiryu.

A similar story in Futagoyama-beya where there are also two changes. Tainaka is the first to receive the honour of the same reading as the shisho (ex-Miyabiyama) - he is now Miyabishin. Newcomer Matsuo gets the same kanji but the heya's other reading, becoming Garyu. He has also made a given name change, the first kanji of which is from the new era name.

Tomozuna-oyakata (ex-Kyokutenho) must have been thinking along those lines too as he makes his first shikona changes since taking over the heya. Toya is now Kyokushoriki, while Maruyama gets the same first kanji but the other reading, he is now Asahimaru.

Yamahibiki-beya's Yagi is now Ienoshima. This seems to have a similar origin story to Kiseoka/Kijuin - there was a town called Ieshima in Hyogo prefecture, which became part of Himeji city (Yagi's shusshin) during an expansion in 2003, so that's probably the inspiration there.

In Takadagawa-beya, Yokoyama is now Maniwayama, honouring his home of Maniwa, Okayama prefecture.

Due to his zenpai record in March, Hanakaze finds himself ranked in Jonokuchi for the first time since the 1988 Nagoya basho.

[Yubinhaad 11,736]

There's one significant name change I missed last night, as the page on the Kyokai site hadn't then been updated. Makuuchi gyoji Shikimori Yonokichi has changed his name to Shikimori Kandayu (式守 勘太夫), becoming the 12th holder of that name.
 

This was planned some time ago as reported here by Akinomaki:

On ‎04‎/‎01‎/‎2016 at 17:46, Akinomaki said:

Shikimori Yodayu has changed to Yonokichi on the new banzuke. This change is seen as a step towards changing to Kandayu in the future, like the sempai of the present Yonokichi did, who helped him much when he was new.

It may look like a step back from Yodayu to Yonokichi, but he wants to use the name of his sempai and decided to change. (The present Kandayu first has to become tate-gyoji for his next step.)

I see that a new Shikihide rikishi has broken through the six English syllable barrier at the bottom of Jonokichi: Yamamotozakura!

[Kaninoyama 1,811]

Happy to see Midorifuji finally reach Makushita-joi. Another fun-to-watch, small-stature rikishi in the mold of Enho.

He's a long shot to ever reach Makuuchi, but a brief visit to Juryo is not out of the question if he keeps scraping and clawing up the ranks as he has done thus far.

We have our first confirmation for Nagoya: Chiyoshoma remains in makuuchi after his 7-8 score from M17e, changes his shikona to Shinkimurayama.

No, both of them retired but the DB didn't pick up on it and marked them banzuke-gai for the Natsu banzuke. Doitsuyama fixed that.

[Highway 46]

My man Aoiyama such a massive leap to Komusubi? I am pleasantly surprised, that's like 7 places he leaped up, I can't remember that happening often.

Hopefully he has a new strategy for dealing with the top guys though, I think he has a fairly bad record and looks pretty helpless when he faces someone with clearly more technique.

[Yubinhaad 11,736]

I didn't notice until now, Tagonoura's recruit from last basho evidently had the reading of his surname 'corrected' at some point, from Iizuka to Iitsuka.

And a note for @Doitsuyama, Hattorizakura's 0-8 score isn't displaying in the database.

[ryafuji 815]

Still no Banzuke Topics at sumo.or.jp/en? It's been a week now. How quickly do they do the Japanese version?

At age 32, he isn't going to develop new skills.    Maintaining a joi spot will be a good result for him.  He will go MK, IMO.
