Something new in the sumo-webpaper.

An interview with former makushita Kyokutenzan from Oshima Beya.

And to make it a bit more interactive ... if there are some more questions you would like to ask, please tell us in this thread or by pm and Tenzan will answer them. Just give us a bit time.

Yes he is.

[Kotoviki]

I've just read it! Fabulous Fay!

Thanks so much!!!!

(Shaking head...) ;-) :-(

[Chiyomaru]

It was very interesting to read! (Shaking head...)

[ilovesumo]

Great!

[Asashosakari]

Nice interview Fay, even if you obviously don't know how to do these things. :-) (Relax, everybody else, it's a joke.)

He better attend (as guest I mean, not actively) next year's amateur tournament in Berlin if they're staging another one!

[Umigame]

Great interview! Thank you for posting this! :-)

One question: in the 5th photo, the black & white one, who is the rikishi on the left?

I believe the others are Kyokushuzan, Kyokutenho, and Kyokutenzan himself.

[Jakusotsu]

One question: in the 5th photo, the black & white one, who is the rikishi on the left?

I'd say Kyokudozan.

[Raishu]

Thanks for posting this interview! :-)

[Manekineko]

Thank you so much! Great and frank interview... Please give my :-) to Tenzan next time you see him. And good luck to him in promoting sumo in Germany - if one of German commercial TV stations would start transmitting bashos, that would be (Shaking head...)

And of course, many many many thanks to you for all you do. :-)

[Murakami]

Great many thanks, Fay. What the hell is he doing in Berlin? Please, ask him that.

[Asafan]

Great many thanks, Fay. What the hell is he doing in Berlin? Please, ask him that.

great interview, Fay, thank you so much. (I am not worthy...)

I wish him a very happy after-sumo life in Berlin (or wherever)

[Doitsuyama]

Great many thanks, Fay. What the hell is he doing in Berlin? Please, ask him that.

Nothing wrong with living in Berlin. It's a nice city I have heard...

[Odoriou]

It's a nice city I have heard...

I think I read somewhere that his house-cleaning company was in Berlin-Tempelhof, which is not exactly the most glamorous part of the city. (I am not worthy...)

[Doitsuyama]

It's a nice city I have heard...

I think I read somewhere that his house-cleaning company was in Berlin-Tempelhof, which is not exactly the most glamorous part of the city. (In jonokuchi...)

Well, Tempelhof can't be THAT bad considering the mayor is living there with his husband - there certainly are worse places. And not being glamorous can only be good for a house-cleaning company no?

Sorry for being somewhat (I am not worthy...)

[Umigame]

One question: in the 5th photo, the black & white one, who is the rikishi on the left?

I'd say Kyokudozan.

Thank you thank you.

[Naganoyama]

Thank you very much for the interview and the pictures. Very nice...

[Jokkamura]

@Fay: Please tell him, that he seriously should try to force Kyokai to bring back Sumo broadcastings (Shaking head...) to Germany and Europe. He is our last hope. :-S

[Manekineko]

Gay mayor of Berlin has his own thread now.

[Murakami]

Gay mayor of Berlin has his own thread now.

At first, I was like "what the..". Your sentence can be read in many ways.
