Bobsen020 0 Posted September 12 (edited) After losing his father 2 years ago, Mitakeumi has now lost his mother as well. Apparantly she died of a stomach ulcer that suddenly ruptured at age 55. Very sad news overall and wish him all the best in overcoming these terrible tragedies.

dingo 1,471 Posted September 13 Very shocked and sad for Mitakeumi. I still remember her celebrating his ozeki promotion, she was always very cheerfully supporting her son. It seemed like they were very close... poor Mitakeumi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
