I'd say Kotooshu is not far off retirement - if he doesn't make kachi-koshi or withdraws again, he could well call it quits. Kotoshogiku is like Kotokaze in that his style is a bit one-dimensional. Swami

If they face someone like Aran - who has no shame when it comes to doing henka - they still face banana skins regardless what day the match-ups take place. Swami

I hope Baruto can get back on track and have a go at yokozuna promotion. Swami

I haven't been able to gain access for a fortnight. Swami

That didn't work for me, I'm afraid. Any other suggestions? Swami

I'd hate to see Musashimaru stuck without a kabu, hopefully he'll be OK. Swami

I suspect it is easy perhaps to form the impression that the rule was no longer in place, given the sheer number of foreign sekitori. Swami

Some time ago there was a limit to one foreign rikishi per heya - is this still in place? Swami

Perhaps if the next yokozuna is Japanese it might stir up a bit more interest again. Swami

Great shot of Sagatsukasa's ippon-zeoi. Swami

Happy birthday and hearty salutations from the Swami! Swami

Kotogaume in there as well. Swami

Not only that, where are all the rikishi from Hokkaido? Hokkaido used to be a sumo hotbed. Swami

Mihogaseki was quite a singer in his heyday as a rikishi. Swami

I definitely hope it will be back before the basho starts! It is an amazing site for information. Swami

Hi there! I'm a big sumo fan, going back to the great days when Channel 4 broadcast sumo in the UK. Remain a big fan of Chiyonofuji and Hokutenyu. Nowadays I like to see Baruto doing well. Swami
