Sad to hear about his pass-away... He was rather prominent for a "minor" urakata and it is really heartwarming that after 30 years he is (was) still thought of such importance that he gets his own obituary in Nikkan Sports. Small nitpick: Those yobidashi ranks were introduced mid-1994 only. Before that they had the same ranks as tokoyama from 5th class up to 1st class - and both without the special class yet. They simply moved all 1st class yobidashi into the new ranks from tate down to juryo by seniority. He would have ended in the juryo group but never actually was there.

Just a little test if you all have been properly paying attention

... and almost exactly 61 years after another Araiso-beya turned into the the ichimon's eponym upon the retirement of the last holder. Back in 1961 it was Araiso -> Isegahama under Yokozuna Terukuni. It was a also a bit complicated back then as retiring Isegahama (Sekiwake Kiyosegawa) inherited the entity himself ca. 1930 and handed it over to Terukuni in 1953 already. However, they did not switch their kabu in the process, and so the entity's name changed to Araiso-beya for eight years. Kiyosegawa stayed as an affiliated oyakata right until his retirement and gave up the Isegahama name only then.

Hello gamers, the UDH entry form is ready now, and waiting for your selections. Rules in a (very small) nutshell: Guess the thirteen makuuchi rikishi you expect to have the fewest wins this basho. You may submit your entry at http://udh.seisa.de/udh_index.html. Once you have selected your team, please root for them as much as you can. The game was not intended to honor any failure, but to stimulate interest in the less successful rikishi. The deadline for your entries will be the first day of the basho (Sunday, November 14th) at 12pm Japanese Time. Good luck!

Final Standings Both yokozuna finish in the top 5 of the standings and continue their good form of September. A third one might emerge soon as Susanoo will be on a yokozuna run in January: a mere 11-4 is the target (after 15-0 Aki and 13-2 Kyushu).

That was a bug. End reason of Sanoyama term is same as start reason of Chiganoura term, a "KC" (kabu changed). The AO is a not-to-be-displayed marker for currently active oyakata -- technically: a non-vacant kabu with open enddate -- and should never appear in the list.
