Azumashida 1 Posted April 1, 2006 Toki and Takanotsuru will not be sekitori on the next banzuke. They may be repromoted to juryo in the future but they are both around 30 (31 and 29 respectively) and the best of their career is surely behind them. If they go intai soon, as some seem to think, won't there be any "Elvis" in the sekitori ranks, or even in ozumo? The "savior" may be Wakarikido of the Matsugane beya. This tall and quite big young deshi (1,88m for more than 150 kg by now) is only 19 years of age, and has been Sd45 already, although he's just had to consecutive make-koshi... Here's a (rather lousy) picture I made of him during Haru basho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
