The  Yusho portrait of ozeki Hoshoryu for Hatsu 2025 - the last in simple kesho mawashi, from now on with rope.

I haven't seen this kesho mawashi with dragon yet - and we won't see it on him again. The first one from Takasu was not dignified enough for a yusho portrait, just a dog, the new one is.

The one for the first yusho also was with a dragon

Almost identical to the first one. Hopefully he would try different facial expressions and body postures with the time.

Remember when Hakuho essentially used his portraits to do a dohyo-iri animation on the walls.

He needs to rack up a few more wins before he unlocks the yusho portrait emotes

What would annoy the NSK the most? Doing the Fonzie or the Sailor Moon?

[Morning]

They just had cultural Japanese icon Hello Kitty as a sponsor, cultural Japanese icon Sailor Moon would be the better choice.

Sadly, I must admit I don’t even know who Fonzie or Sailor Moon are… which probably means I’m either too old, too
