Sekitori with collegiate sumo experience

[Asashosakari]

A new ozeki deserves a timely update, so that's what just happened. The changes summarized:

A late addition with a Nagoya 2024 date, as I had forgotten to include Chiyonoumi's retirement, announced between the end of Natsu and the banzuke release for Nagoya. Another intai took place following Aki 2024, with Myogiryu's departure meaning the end of the longest-tenured active collegiate sekitori's career. Takarafuji is now the active list veteran; he had actually made his professional debut four months earlier than Myogiryu, but took longer to reach the paid ranks.

Aki 2024 also saw top division debuts for Onokatsu and Shirokuma, both of Nihon Taiiku but competing out of different stables, Onomatsu and Nishonoseki respectively. And finally, another promotion has been confirmed for Onosato (also Nihon Taiiku and Nishonoseki), who will be ozeki starting Kyushu 2024. He will be the 11th collegiate ozeki, with Nihon Taiiku newly represented as the 8th different university.

As Asakoryu's promotion to makuuchi for Kyushu is uncertain, I have not updated him at this time. (Incidentally, he's yet another Nihon Taiiku graduate, as were outgoing Chiyonoumi and Myogiryu, so this update has been a school exclusive.)
