    Sumo Kyokai revenue

    Announced at the Hyogi-inkai, a surplus for the 2nd year in a row - no surprise with the sumo boom now and the whole year a sell-out. A plus of 1445 million yen. Net assets up 1100 million yen, to 27.9 billion. The loss of 10 billion yen during corona is now 60-70% recovered. http://www.jiji.com/jc/article?k=2025032400893&g=spo Kyodo and NHK report a plus of 1158 million yen, all say it's ordinary revenue minus expenses, apparently different expenses used o Ordinary revenue 1446.6 million yen, 1300 million more than last year. Operating costs about 1314.8 million yen, increase of 270 million. o

He had liked what he saw from him at keiko and since last September Buyan is trainee at the heya, training there, but also continuing at high school in Kochi - somehow they managed to get the mandatory 6 months training period at the heya, after the Natsu shindeshi kensa he will have his debut in Nagoya (visa delay)

    Kotozakura would get to 2 with a day 15 win, Oshoma after a miserable start nearly could get to 100 with another win, but he has sponsorless Ryuden on day 15. Hiradoumi out of nowhere to the middle of the rankings, Ichiyamamoto out at last. Day 14 https://www.sumo.or.jp/pdf/honbasho/kansen/torikumi/2503_14.pdf 214: Onosato 154: Takayasu 141: Hoshoryu 121: Kotozakura 90: Oshoma 76: Hiradoumi 76: Abi 67: Kirishima 65: Endo 62: Midorifuji For day 15 Nagatanien only 4 on the last bout - apparently with already max=60, so they restrain their pack, like Tama Home: also only 4 instead of the standard 5. 3 each on the previous 3, 5 on Takayasu-Abi - the 2nd biggest pack, 3 on Takerufuji, 5 on Atamifuji, 4 on Endo.The 3rd biggest pack of the day is on the quite unimportant 2nd bout of the day, 8-6 Midorifuji vs. 6-8 Mitakeumi (he technically could get demoted with a loss). Tozaikai on Shonannoumi-Kinbozan, Kushikatsu on Daieisho-Churanoumi. day 13 - Oho - the biggest pack, but uncounted - not enough to join the rankings, also a win tomorrow is likely not enough for that o o Takayasu o

    I expected Onosato to win the remaining two, the last against Kotozakura. But maybe Aonishiki has to face him. NHK expects the ozeki bout to take place though.
