As arranged before his passing..... Kofuji-ICAN's rikishi pick is Nishikifuji (his highest ranking adapted rikishi).  Kofuji-ICAN's rank pick is Sandanme 64 West (the average of all his active adapted rikishi's ranks).  For every point he scores, a donation is made to the international cancer advocacy network (ICAN).

 For those curious, his adopted rikishi were always: rikishi with “kifuji” or “kofuji” in their shikona -- (Tsubakifuji, Nishikifuji, Masakifuji); and any rikishi from "Kofu-shi" in Yamanashi-ken -- (Ryuden).

There's no TORCH MATCH on Day 1; so there's at least one extra day to enter or update picks.

The deadline is one minute before Jk20E Aoifuji's first match.
