Left row: Miyabiyama, Kyokutenho, Tosanoumi, Hokutoriki, Tamanoshima, Buyuzan, Kisenosato

Right row: Kaio, Iwakiyama, Tochinonada, Roho, Kotonowaka and one more I'm not sure of. Possibly Toyozakura.

EDIT: I probably shouldn't say I'm completely sure about Roho, but it looks like him ;-)

I was just gonna post an answer with like half of the guys, but I see yubi beat me to it and got 'em all.

Can't believe you got Roho ;-)

[Odoriou]

I totally have to agree! ;-)

But I could identify the fat letters on the backside of this paper page...

They say: "Wetten, Schumi macht auch mit neuen Gummis schlapp."

Also not bad, right? :-)

Oh, I want to add that:

The rikishi who's hiding behind Kotonowaka (still in front of Toyozakura) must be Takamisakari. :-) You can tell by the strange way he holds his head and body... ;-)

[Jakusotsu]

...and the rikishi hiding between Buyuzan and Kisenosato has to be Toyonoshima. ;-)

There is someone else hiding behind Iwakiyama and in front of Tochinonada. You can hide a lot behind Iwakiyama, maybe someone like Wakanosato? Strong neck muscles seen there.

And why the blue mawashi on the same Iwakiyama? Doesn't he wear green?

Well spotted! If You look at the excellent pics Koldonowaka posted here ;-) , You'll see the suspect is actually Kotomitsuki.

(and the supposed Takamisakari turns out to be Ama, while Toyonoshima is indeed Toyonoshima) :-)
