Nishihara

That must be the guy who entered from the wrong side ...

Career record: 2 wins, 4 losses (2 by fusen!), and a lot of yasumi. (Holiday feeling...)

Incidentally, the guy who was on the wrong side - Takanokuni - still hasn't cleared his first kachi-koshi. But at least he made it into Jonidan on the last banzuke (Jd124w, 2-5). (Punk rocker...)

Do you mean Fukuseyama?

Yes, I do..

Always remember-a Kintamayama post without mistakes is not a Kintamayama post.

Thanks for the correction.

Odd to find Kigawafuji on the Kyokai's list...wasn't he already listed as retired after last basho? (Clapping wildly...)

Yes..I found that tres odd myself.

Hum... What about Takanonami? Are you talking about the lower divisions only, or are you including the sekitoris?

Takanonami, Hamanoshima and Wakanojou retired during the basho. I just mentioned the guys who retired after the basho, or their retirement became public after the basho.
