Akinomaki 40,761 Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) Taka has married again, last month, an only 1 year older ordinary woman of the public this time, which means no pics - they know each other since they were teens and from the wording looks like they had a relation then. http://www.sanspo.com/article/20230927-WKQQSB5NOJKLJE5ZKN4UD642PM/ Bunshun made a 3 hour interview with him: "She was my first love" http://bunshun.jp/articles/-/66010?page=2 They have it in 5 pages on their site and the printed tabloid - likely parts of it will appear later for free pics of finished relations o oo o o o o o o o oo Edited September 27, 2023 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her husband died in 2018. She wrote Taka a letter after she saw a program where he talked about his first date (with her). The general incorporated association Takanohana-dojo takanohanadojo.or.jp told all this to the media, he has no plans to give (more) interviews about the new marriage. http://www.zakzak.co.jp/article/20230928-WDNUQ3MINBPPFENKNDIYML7YNE/ the article also mentions that he still has his love for sumo and watched his (former) deshi on the way to his 4th yusho all 15 days (on TV) Edited September 28, 2023 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He dumped her (his first kinboshi#1) shortly after his first kinboshi and the real start of the Taka-hype - she already had signed letters with Hanada A-ko #1 the sumo slang for a pretty girl/woman Bunshun published a bit more from the interview - with both - and pics with her now and then, but not quite visible o oo o oo oo o o o o o o o Edited October 3, 2023 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
