Takakeisho is Minatogawa-oyakata now

His new hairstyle features a bold shaved side, with the barber describing it as a "two-block, side-parted" style. Tokiwayama Oyakata, who came to watch the styling, repeatedly exclaimed, "It looks good," while his good friend and senior at Saitama Sakae High School, Maegashira Daieishou, called it "cool." Everyone praised the new hairstyle.

Here we call that style a 3-5 cut (Drei-Fünfer-Schnitt): three fingers broad shaved on the sides, five fingers from the neck . Not that popular, but very practical.

Are they metric fingers?

289 were on the list for the cutting at Takakeisho's danpatsu-shiki today, original shisho Takanohana not among them. Re-elected Tokyo governor Koike, ex-YDC hinkaku man composer Tokura, same entry Onosho, Daieisho and Kotozakura from same Saitama Sakae high, the 2 yokozuna among the cutters

More pics - those from the final cut, Koike and Onosho are added to the first post, family moved here

The most intriguing thing is his growing a neck. I better not imagine how Takarafuji will look like on his danpatsu.

The paper still report him to have lost only 40kg, down from 170 to 130kg, but that was in May.

o o

Hochi now admits that he lost 50-60kg, but gives over 180kg as the top o , Sponichi still has 170->130

Only 289 cutters on the list, with Myogiryu today at 395 - a cut at the mage of an ozeki, esp. of the top popular oyakata now, is usually several times as expensive as at a sekiwake's

The absence of the son in the photos is conspicuous, Myogiryu had his last bout with his 2 sons, 8&5y old, and the family on all photos, with the 2 on the dohyo and the wife with daughter below - Minatogawa's son obviously hates the dohyo, and public appearances

[I am the Yokozuna 222]

No way he weighs 120 or 130. 70-80 probably. 

He looks great with the haircut, I assume he would be the poster boy from now on for the JSA for publicity events. 

Does he have children?

Detailed report from the whole event, intai-zumo and party afterwards

It is odd that there are no pics, even mention of a last dohyo appearance - no mawashi any-more for him? There we could see how much weight he really has lost

Apparently, he didn't appear in the mawashi at all. Judging by the speed of his weight loss, I would assume his skin flaps don't look too attractive.

Houshouryuu revealed that he had dislocated his right index finger in the senshuraku match against Oonosato, when he beat him on the final day of Aki basho. On the 4th, he participated in the danpatsushiki of Minatogawa Oyakata (former Ozeki Takakeishou),at the Kokugikan. At the hair-cutting ceremony, he used the scissors, and then took part in the dohyo-iri and bout. Afterwards, in an interview, he revealed, "On the final day, various things happened - I dislocated my right index finger, and fought  the playoff bout." In the main bout, he defeated Oonosato, who he was trailing by one win, but he was not at his best for the playoff match, where he was tied with Oonosato at 13 wins and 2 losses. He aimed to make a comeback and win his first yusho as a Yokozuna and his third overall, but fell short. After the bout, he did not respond to interviews and left. Yesterday, he addressed Minatogawa Oyakata at the danpatsushiki, , saying,I hope he continues to do his best in the future," expressing his expectations. When Minatogawa was still active, they faced each other 11 times, with Minatogawa winning 8 and losing 3. "I felt he was my rival," he said, recalling that Minatogawa was an opponent he didn't want to lose to.
