Apparently, four members of the Saitama Sakae sumo club found a 5-year-old boy at night who had been reported missing earlier that morning. They escorted him to the nearest police station through rain, stopping to get him food at a convenience shop on the way. For their civic-mindedness, they were today given certificates of commendation.

According to the wording in today's Ashahi article - 内定済み naitei-zumi, the 3 are already scouted fix by some heya. Front: Takayama Shunsuke 高山瞬佑 (mentioned), Negishi Yusuke 根岸康介, on the left, back: Tsuru Kanato 鶴叶翔. Iga Chikanosuke 伊賀慎之 is 2nd year.

Takayama made the best 4 at the National Kariya tournament this year, then the best 8 at the National Kanazawa tournament, so he is pretty good. I don't know anything about the others.

Here's him in action in Kariya
