    Yokozuna Hoshoryu

    Saw a chart earlier on the debut records of every yokozuna in the 6-basho era and Chiyonofuji started with a 1-2-12, so if the Nephew bombs out in March he can always say he's in good company.

    His goal for this year in the picture is listed as "Aim to become the yokozuna of the entertainment world", which might be a tad difficult considering Toyonoshima switched over to being a tarento after leaving the NSK...

    Hatsu 2025 discussion (results)

    When Oho and Hoshoryu were first coming up, I felt like Oho had the right physique but not enough technique yet, and Hoshoryu was the other way around; all he needed was to bulk up a bit more and he'd be set. Well, the latter has happened, and maybe Oho is finally starting to evolve (or that busted orbital bone that left the hematoma above his right eye knocked a little more sumo sense into him). Should make the first Grandson Bowl where both of them are sanyaku some interesting watching next time, if nothing else. KTZ trying to clear kadoban and Oho out for revenge from Day 8.

    Bald rikishi

    With a name and condition like that I half expected him to be a Shikihide lad, but I'll support him just the same.

    Year in review kind of book or magazine

    I've bought two sumo "directories" on trips to Japan in the past (the official title in Japanese is 大相撲力士名鑑); they show all the stables and have headshots of who's in them, and they have a year in review section at the end, but it's pretty short, just a one-page summary of what happened at each basho, and how everyone on the makuuchi banzuke did for that basho, day by day, with the white and black circles. There's also a picture guide to all the kimarite and a sumo glossary at the end, but the whole book's in Japanese, of course. That's the closest thing I can find to what you mentioned, but I'm sure there's probably others out there for sale.
