The wide shows even call him still/again oyakata though (skipping the former-), and today NiTele's Miyane-ya after Takanoiwa had a long corner about the show yesterday, with his mother as guest http://www.miomio.tv/watch/cc405005/ http://news.walkerplus.com/article/167278/ at a similar show in 2013 Edited October 30, 2018 by Akinomaki 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,767 Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Many wideshows today reported in detail on Taka at the coal mining festival in Tagawa - work as tourist ambassador for the city, esp. Goody (-2:25h), Sukkiri (47-69m), Vivit (-13m), Miyane-ya (2:20h-2:31h), GogoSmile (3:11h-3:35h) and 5m. on NSta. Taka has gained 10kg since he retired from the NSK. Today is the farewell party for him of his Kyushu koenkai. People are are reported as thinking about ways to interest him into going into politics.

"Yes, it's true. He didn't tell me the exact details, but it probably stems from each of them having a career of their own for many years," said a friend. He has been living at the heya (while it was there..) lately and she had her own place and they have been separated for quite some time now. They were married in May of 1995. Their son was born a few months later. They seemed to be happy and she took great care of him during his year of absence due to that knee injury. After his retirement and the establishment of the heya she became the okamisan and was quite devoted to her job. These last few years rumors of problems between them had surfaced and were denied. He even uploaded a photo of them together smiling at a restaurant to his home page. Even as recently as three weeks ago, a photo from a festival of both of them looking friendly was posted. It turns out they were already divorced by then. The news of the divorce broke a day after the basho, probably at Takanohana's request, says the reporter. On 28/09/2018 at 18:20, Akinomaki said: And all kinds of rumors fill the article lists: Onomatsu put the pressure on him, financial problems, he (his son as well) one step away from divorce 49 minutes ago, Akinomaki said: Taka apparently handed in the divorce papers on the 25th last month: his comment: We wanted to graduate from being a couple vid The wide shows tomorrow will switch from Takakeisho to him alone 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,767 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) I thought I can catch up with things by now, but Taka provided again more than 100 new articles today His live appearance was on Sukkiri but of course all wide shows report the divorce - the full interview text: http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/201811270000319.html Apart from his son (23), whom he criticized for his TV appearances at HIS recent TV appearance ("Make shoes!") and who had "celebrated" his mum on his blog the past month(s), he has one 18y old daughter studying abroad and a 2nd 16y old daughter - both still below age 20 and thus so far safe from the media. marriage intai overview o o oo oo o o funeral of Futagoyama-oyakata o On 04/11/2018 at 18:21, Akinomaki said: a detailed report of Taka-Hanada in Tagawa - his ex-wife Keiko took part there as well o Edited November 28, 2018 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taka: Olympic guest commentator in 2020? o if he appears, ratings of the program are guaranteed to go up - Sukkiri (8-10:25 NiTele) on Tuesday went from 4.5% on Monday to 5.4% (with a 4 weeks average of 4.2%) http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/201811280000357.html Keiko might go into politics rather than him - for the elections next summer http://www.nikkan-gendai.com/articles/view/news/242561/2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,767 Posted December 8, 2018 Taka as usual does not come out of the (now just his private) heya to speak with the press - about Takanoiwa. He had commented somehow though about the "traitor". The timing of his divorce apparently was determined by his 2nd 16y old daughter also going abroad for studies - the first 18y old was already studying in the US for a while. He did wait till she left home end of September. http://www.news-postseven.com/archives/20181207_818974.html Taka is furious about his son's sloppy work as shoemaker - several claims by customers were reported - and wants him to concentrate on that - mother Keiko 景子 (her Kei- is the -kei- in Takakeisho) thinks it fine that her son should earn a living as TV personality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,767 Posted December 13, 2018 I will just use this thread now also for shoemaker Hanada - from the not rikishi thread: On 29/04/2017 at 14:26, Akinomaki said: he is dating A.ko Yagi (22), the daughter of ex-Fujinoshin, Jinmaku-oyakata of Kokonoe-beya, Takasago-ichimon of Hakkaku-rijicho. On 31/10/2017 at 15:20, Akinomaki said: Obviously Yuuichi didn't have a girlfriend because he already was married. Yesterday Hanada mentioned it on his radio show "BTW, I am married" - and claimed that his wife is just a member of the public, but apparently it is the daughter of Jinmaku. Like rumored all the way, it has now become known that Taka's son (23) followed the family tradition On 28/11/2018 at 18:48, Akinomaki said: this small guy today got the best fashion award of the best debutante of the year awards - Likely he'll follow the Hanada family tradition of getting divorced from wives older than they (the wife of Waka I was younger http://d.hatena.ne.jp/adlib/20050531) Married in January last year, reported as separated this August. Customers claim that shoes don't arrive, he was attached to the (performance arts-) geinou-office of a friend of his mother, but was dismissed in September because of continuous troubles (also a family tradition). Taka on the other hand: "I still think of my daughter-in-law as my daughter. The feeling of love for her and her family (Jinmaku-oyakata) is greater than before." (maybe he'll sever relations with his son instead) http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2018/12/13/gazo/20181212s00041000307000p.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
