Yubinhaad 11,505 Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Former Maegashira Daikiho announced his retirement today, following a seven-year career. After graduating from Nihon University he joined Miyagino-beya in 2012, making his debut as a Makushita 15 Tsukedashi. In just over a year he made his Makuuchi debut, only to finish with a terrible 3-12 record - it would be his only basho in the top division. Illness and injury took their toll as he suffered with Graves' disease (a thyroid condition), a knee injury and more recently yellow ligament ossification. His danpatsu-shiki is set to take place at the Kokugikan on May 2nd 2020. Flowers in the hanamichi, greeted by fellow ex-Nichidai graduates Hidenoumi and Tobizaru. As his hair wasn't yet long enough to form an oichomage, Daikiho couldn't participate in Hakuho's dohyo-iri during his sole Makuuchi basho. However, he did take part in a special one at a shrine in Tokushima, serving as tsuyuharai. Edited September 22, 2019 by Yubinhaad 4 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsuchinoninjin 1,244 Posted September 22, 2019 Yikes that ligament ossification sounds scary and would totally end any sumo career. Hopefully he can live a good life anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
