Seems to be some breaking news about Mitakeumi getting married(?).  Yusho plus Ozeki promotion ... plus marriage!  Pretty good month for Mitakeumi and his family.

Love him or not, Chris Gould broke the news of Mitakeumi's marriage more than 24 hours before this.
The only reason I clicked on his video was because of 'Mitakeumi Marries' in the title...

Yusho, Marriage, and Ozeki promotion all in short order. I hope he is recovered enough by March from all the celebration. I also wish him a happy married life and great sucess.

That news was already posted here a couple days ago, before Chris's video went up, so to say he broke the news is a bit generous (Laughing...)

What can I say? I'm obviously not the only 1 who missed that the 'Another Sekitori Marriage' thread had been updated...

Mitakeumi is the first shin-Juryo from Nagano prefecture since Owashi, almost half a century ago.

Not just ozeki 227 years after Raiden, in the focus got also the others of the "first xx for Nagano after nn years" of Mitakeumi - 47 and 43 after Owashi for juryo and makuuchi - 37 years without sekitori for Nagano after his intai, he now runs "Sumo food - chanko-nabe Owashi", his son was in Wakamatsu-beya as Asawashi and is now pro-wrestler Toru_Owashi

Komusubi and sekiwake for Mitakeumi both were 84 years after Takanobori

What was his acceptance phrase, by the way?

First the usual: I humbly accept. Not to bring shame on the name of ozeki,

謹んでお受け致します。大関の地位を汚さぬよう、

感謝の気持ちを大切にし、自分の持ち味を生かせよし相撲道にまい進してまいります

cherishing the feeling of gratitude (=what his mentor in middle school told him), making the best use of my special characteristics (=what the inscription demands, first used by the 28th Shonosuke of Dewanoumi-beya, who saw it on a visit to the school), I'll strive forward on the path of sumo

Interesting old video that was posted today: the student championships now Mitakeumi won against now Hokutofuji

Good catch - lots of future pros in that one and fun to play spot them all. Good match between Mitakeumi and Tomokaze at the start!

Mitakeumi had quite the swagger in the ams. Also, Sasaki from Nihon University beat Ura and Yutakayama back-to-back - he was a very well-rounded competitor and would have been a good pro.

Feel a bit for Hokutofuji there. He wins major, MsTD15 qualifying tournaments in his 2nd and 3rd years, then gets to the finals of the student championship and because he loses had to start ozumo at the bottom. These days, with the 2-year eligibility, he would have started at Ms15TD from his Kokutai yusho, and have a Sd100TD from the runner-up in the above tournament too.

Oh well, ozumo worked out very well for him anyway!

Incidentally, while Mitakeumi's been on a hot streak, he's lost 4 of the last 5 meetings against Hokutofuji. I remember when Hokutofuji turned pro he said one of his goals was to catch up with and beat Mitakeumi. I wonder if that student finals match is in his head whenever they're about to face off.
