Talking Endo on the 7th had a talk show in Komatsu, as PR for the jungyo there on Apr. 7th: "It was a happy active life" - Ishikawa TV: - embedding works again

The papers now report that Endo has decided to retire. The NSK will announce the retirement soon, so the related people say. o

Triumphant return: Endo on the 6th was at a welfare center in Nomi, Ishikawa pref., for support of the victims of the Noto quake - sponsored by NSK partner Uniqlo, official NSK jacket provider o oo with chanko oo o o o o o o sumo exercises, together with Kaki, Takekuma and Tochinobori oo photo holding the presents from Uniqlo: HeatTech wear ooo local NHK o VOD, VPN: https://www.web.nhk/tv/pl/series-tep-DGNW894ZYW/ep/2W825QZX93 He can talk a lot now

For ＭＯＳＴ　ＣＯＮＳＥＣＴＩＶＥ　ＳＵＭＯ　ＢＯＵＴＳ (1748 ATM), certified in the 2026 Guinness Book - he is deeply moved by that and it's a nice late present for his 41th birthday (in October): "I won the yusho 2 times, but never got a medal from Mongolia". Hakuho has a few Guinness records. o

I checked the main page and saw that there were no general sales at all, everything was sold out in the ticket lotteries. https://sumo.pia.jp/sumo01.jsp On Twitter, the start of sales was announced though today

Ticket sales started today on the web and ended in a few minutes - the NSK hasn't posted the announcement yet, but already the several hours late overview shows the sell out https://sumo.pia.jp/vacant/va01.jsp There is still the official NSK resale for which offers don't show on the sale pages now. There was some resale information there, saying at least "none ATM", I don't know if that will appear later or now only if there are some. For these tickets one has to register for an email resale alert, and the quickest to react gets it. Without the resale information, there is no way to register though. There may be a campaign again for first time watchers, in which a few tickets are available, else only by those resellers, who had officially got their tickets from the NSK (chaya, local travel companies that offer tours to the kokugikan etc.) - if they still have some left

From now on I use this thread for this type of former rikishi activities. Ex-Saganobori runs the "Sumo Kitchen Saganobori" in Osaka, Chou ward, and sent out chanko sets to cover for loss in customers due to corona. http://www.saga-s.co.jp/articles/-/619858

Day 5 Miyazaki - about 3300 spectators o Himukamaru is pref local o for most jungyo locations, the local NHK news (18:10h and 20:45h JST), show a detailed report, and usually there are also news clips viewable worldwide, both gone in a week low res clip o program (VPN) o local paper with pics o o

Still popular Chiyomaru again in kawaii pics - he was with Chiyooga at the Takayanagi kindergarten in Kisarazu for mochi pounding and recreation. The 12th visit there by heya rikishi, usually every 2 years. o o o Chiyooga o o o

Hakuho was police chief on Dec. 1st in Osaki, Miyagi - the ex-Miyagino is connected to the town by his disaster relief activities there (and the heya related to the pref.) news clip o news program https://www.web.nhk/tv/an/telemasa/pl/series-tep-M917RJ4V72/ep/4VZXWP1G96

Another sub-branch of extra activities, police chief for a day or the like. Usually they call for traffic safety or better driving manners and caution against bank transfer scam and similar. Sadanoumi in Konan-city, Aichi, on the 29th. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1670634.html Takasago-oyakata in Kariya-city, Aichi. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/local/aichi/news/20160628-OYTNT50211.html on patrol

As expected, the blacklist error strikes more severe now So far I could avoid it by creating links with my old Firefox 47, now with forced https, links can't be created with the forum editor - a try and the error strikes YT videos can't be embedded any more - an "undefined" error I compiled the post from the Fuyu jungyo piece by piece here, but still can't post this in the thread Trying to post a quote of this post also causes the error posting a dummy in the thread and copying the contents of this spoiler into it did it - but I won't post, if I have to do that every time

Generally the articles name him as possible ozeki for Haru, but a yusho or doten now will definitely make him ozeki for Hatsu. Sponichi titled today: lion's tiger's den for ozeki promotion presented Ajigawa-beya had a new keiko ground built at their location in Kurume, for a total of 20 million yen, contributed by local supporters. After Aonishiki preparing for ozeki promotion, it will be used to promote sumo in the region. o

Giving likes and changing pages still works on the PC and on a mobile device not, but the blacklist error is likely to turn up more often now

I tried the old Netscape, which doesn't support https, but apparently the forum security protocol demands https and no old browser can display the site. I thought the exception in developer edition still works, but that was an already opened page - any newly opened page now gets converted to https - looks like the forum software does not support http-only at all any more and the security protocol forces the link to https, my browser settings claim that firefox does not try to convert to https

To use old features, I have an old Firefox version in use parallel to the developer edition. I have to keep going back in versions to still have access to what I want. I'm at version 46 now, after earlier this year also 47 had problems. Only very few sites display there. Now I'm used to be careful with it, else I might accidentally use it on really not secure sites. It's my editor for the filtered downloaded daily News, for the forum for posting at the basho - and saving from the NSK site. The forum today stopped displaying there, I may have to go back to a 20s or 30s version now (looks like Firefox 25 or Netscape) With the forum registered as exception, at least in the developer edition the links stay at http.

I had one Forum page open on my mobile that stayed at http and now it switched to https. Bookmarks or chronic links now also get converted on opening, so far they opened like intended. "Verified by let's encrypt" is what has to be dealt with

The oyakata channel episode about Aonishiki was reported in Sponichi. https://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2025/12/04/kiji/20251204s00005000308000c.html#:~:text=相撲 Yamashina talked about Aonishiki always putting his hands down first. Others with this style were e.g. Yoshikaze and Kakizoe. If such a rikishi meets one who does the same, he always causes a matta, to mess up the concept of the other. This matta game is what Aonishiki yet has to learn (to deal with), this is the possible weak point mentioned

Mr. Hanada (ex-Taka) has his first TV show appearance after retirement in a 2h special of NiTele's Shabekuri 007 - aired on the 29th, 21h JST o o o o he teaches to the 7 (or some of them) his sumo fitness exercises o

Not the public, the high level media like Kyodo. He's on the tabloid/entertainment news corner now.

Not just 2 Ukrainians now to represent Europe, Baruto sent a new Estonian. News for Kyushu, but he has started the 6+ months kenshu period in Hidenoyama-beya in mid August - so Haru or Natsu for his shindeshi kensa debut, maybe together with Estonian descent Nicolas. 18 year old Anatoli Zadoroznõi (180cm, 124kg), wrestling and judo background and he started with sumo at age 12, was at the junior world championships (several videos of him on YT for greco-roman wrestling) o on his facebook page a photo in the heya with Baruto and Toyonoshima
