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

Hidenoyama Oyakata (ex-Kotoshōgiku) announced his intention to start his own stable to his personal kōenkai. Heya construction is planned to finish by March next year.

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

The whole point of the "marrying into a kabu" system is that, for the oyakata, he cannot choose who to be his son, but at least he can choose his son-in-law (based on sumo ability) And the point of these minimum bashos is that the oyakata weren't very good with choosing son-in-laws

唯一無二の力士, surely

Wi Sung-oh

You seem to have misread the furigana. と is this font looks a lot like ご

His original demand was 480 million yen

The last time we had two tate-gyoji was 2015

"They REEK!"

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

Daily Shincho claims that Onosato forced the underaged rikishi to drink in the bathroom, and the current official announcement is a cover-up.

Kotomitsuki

He is now listed as san'yo.

I counted and there were only 3 urakata, so someone miscounted somewhere... https://www.sumo.or.jp/ResultRikishiDataSumoBeya/detail/18/ https://www.michinokubeya.com/heya.html

The newspapers presumably follow some sort of style guide based on the joyo kanji. They seem to be among the strictest followers, since their job is to communicate with the masses

Riji for the next term, not rijichō

Magaki oyakata (ex-Ishiura) to be sent to Asakayama-beya in the latest plan Asakayama oyakata (ex-Kaio) says it's "absolutely not" about shutting down Miyagino-beya permanently, but rather it's a temporary measure.

He's just finding partners for next basho

You are missing rikishi in Osaka-zumo that belonged to stables with links to the present myoseki. Kitajin, Nishiiwa (as Iwatomo in Osaka), Shiranui, Takasaki, and Takenawa were Osakan stables.
