He's the life of the party when featured on Dosukoi Sumo Salon, always smiling and joking! Looks like Ura paid some tribute to him today with Ashitori win :P Edited March 20, 2024 by Wakawakawaka 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's how I at least found out Terutsuyoshi retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dingo 1,263 Posted June 24, 2024 6 hours ago, Kaninoyama said: Didn't he get married not long ago? No wife in attendance? Straight from the another sekitori marriage thread, as posted by Akinomaki in August 2022 (I would quote but I'm on my phone and don't know how). Seems like he not only intai-ed from sumo but also his marriage. Terutsuyoshi's wife Kana, born Goto, is a classmate of the daughter of Isegahama-oyakata, 31 years old - he's 27, she's reported as (a little over) 3 years older - running 3 restaurants, from graduate school of a famous private university (=Keio or Waseda). Isegahama's daughter had told him "I want you to meet somebody", they dined together, watched baseball together and it developed into a relationship. They registered the marriage on August 10th. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202301050000690.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,535 Posted June 25, 2024 Still nothing about the final dohyo appearance of Terutsuyoshi. The side program had like for Ishiura an Isegahama below juryo tournament: they have enough rikishi for a larger event. Final von by Satorufuji, vs. Shinhakuho.

I actually really like what they do, even if I'd prefer a bit more ground work. Definitely a fun organization, and as far as options go it's likely the best one for him (even if it's not going to set up much of a career). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More likely this one, as per Kamitsuumi's supplied reading: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/199304-sung-oh-wi The fight history looks nearly non-existent for both.
