Akinomaki 40,246 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Kabuki stars Matsumoto Koshiro (72) and his eldest son Ichikawa Somegoro (41) will appear as two rikishi in the play "Futatsu Cho-Cho Kuruwa-nikki", as Nurekami Chogoro and Hanaregoma Chokichi. The father wins their bout - he wants to use a different technique each day of performance, kotenage first, then utchari, ... - 24 days in a row.Both are sumo fans of course, the son is the same age as Takanohana and was a fan of Chiyonofuji, the father of Chiyonoyama, Kagamisato and Yoshibayama.http://www.hochi.co.jp/entertainment/20140826-OHT1T50248.html.http://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2014/08/27/0007275786.shtmlhttp://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20140826/oth14082618130023-n1.html Edited August 28, 2014 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
