Kamitsuumi

Kakka is just a title here, already translated as H.E. (His Excellency). Kogure is his birth family name, and he removed it from his stage name, in order to get rid of the human element.

It's not a huge surprise. There are only so many ways (in general) to write 金 in cursive, and the shogi pieces have to have different calligraphy for the same 金 in order to differentiate the corresponding unpromoted piece. The last one (2021) was closer to nari-gin

Obviously a tribute kabaite to the recently passed Kitanofuji

Takayasu's belt work was superb today.

Both East and West rikishi, as Terunofuji and Takatoriki (along with the actual last rikishi Tokushoryu) counted as makujiri yusho

According to ja wiki, the top consecutive kachikoshi records are: 1. Musashimaru 55 (6 non-makuuchi) 2. Hakuho 51 3. Kitanoumi 50 4. Wakanohana II 28 4. Asahifuji 28

唯一無二の力士, surely

Wi Sung-oh

"They REEK!"

It's still there as the last character of his given name though
