WAKATAKE 2,631 Posted March 18 Interesting that the NSK gets this announcement out before major newspapers. No indication in the post that he is staying with the NSK, or else they'd list his toshiyori kabu. Wonder what he'll be doing post sumo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also needs to get his health back. Did some reports say that he has uncontrolled diabetes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaninoyama 1,694 Posted March 18 Had my picture taken with him when Isegahama-beya came to train in my hometown. He said, in broken English: "Smile. Always Smile." Became a fan right there and then. お疲れ様でした. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarimotsu 522 Posted March 18 Rumour was that he lost control of his diabetes (again). Probably decided it was all too much, along with the middling results since dropping down. Hope he has a good post-sumo life. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 39,797 Posted March 18 22 basho in makuuchi, including a jun-yusho and 13 in juryo - much better than the 4+30 of Asahisho (Kiriyama) and several others, but oyakata and supporters apparently couldn't provide him with a kabu. The intai press conference is tomorrow. o 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that a lack of funds or lack of available kabu? Great shame if he wanted to stay on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yohcun 393 Posted March 18 He really didn't strike me as an oyakata type, so I'm not surprised. 13 hours ago, WAKATAKE said: Wonder what he'll be doing post sumo. Re-bleach the hair, maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always thought of him as having a cheerful disposition, possibly due to the jungyo photos that Herouth used to post of him tweaking Akiseyama's nipples etc... Here's a nice smile from his juryo promotion. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20161130/p2a/00m/0na/016000c 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 44,354 Posted March 18 (edited) No way he stays with the Kyokai after he singlehandedly put them in the red by running the salt bill through the roof, pun intended. As for the future, surely a chef at a restaurant since he knows his way around salt . I hear he is moving to Salt Lake City. Ok, I'm going now.

DonKordylone 4 Posted March 19 Terutsuyoshi debuted in Sumo along with Kagayaki and Takanosho. He was the 3rd youngest man to make Makushita after Takanohana and Kisenosato, shame he never really made a bigger splash. Since he was a career-long assistant of Terunofuji this seems like a preview of a much bigger Intai. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingo 1,160 Posted March 19 For a small rikishi he had a very good career. 22 makuuchi basho is more than many have managed. Wish him good luck with his future endeavours! Maybe he'll start a salt importing business? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
