Disclaimer/introduction for new players The Wall: Bigger than the Berlin Wall this Basho. 10 contestants in Nagoya! Many persisters plus 3 new entries. Eyes on freshly renamed Hakuoho (ex-Ochiai, 31-6 bouts) and Kiho (ex-Kawazoe, 23-12 bouts), both having only KK results so far. Anyway, off to even more... Promotion/demotion/kadoban/intai: ...excitement! Last basho Takakeisho barely cleared his kadoban status, while Kiribayama earned a promotion after a convincing Ozeki-run.
