The train will be in use like this for 2 years. oo Intended to be used for 2 years, but with his speedy promotion the vinyl wrapping will be changed from sekiwake Onosato to yokozuna Onosato within less than a year http://www.niigata-nippo.co.jp/articles/-/628054 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
