Toki's pre-Takasago history?

[Pikenoyama]

As I'm going through the older records of rikishi, I found that Asashoryu fought two times in Makuuchi with Toki (Nagoya 2001, Natsu 2002). As now they both belong to Takasago beya and therefore should not meet each other on the dohyo except for kettei-sen (sorry Toki, not your case B-) ). So I suppose that Toki came to Takasago from other heya :-P . Never heard about it and would like to! So if anyone can put some light into it, I'll be glad (Sign of approval) .

Nope. Toki is in Takasago since hatsu-dohyo. Asashoryu is the one who came to Takasago as his old heya Wakamatsu and Takasago merged. The new Takasago-oyakata is the old Wakamatsu-oyakata though.

:-P

Yeah, just look at Kintamayama's avatar. You will see Asashoryu in front of the Wakamatsu signboard.

Oh I see. Thanks a lot for explanation (Holiday feeling...)
