Akinomaki 40,775 Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) This week a repeat of the first 14 episodes of the NHK morning drama series Hirari from Uchidate Makiko has started https://www.nhk.jp/p/ts/6X3V93R3K8/ about a sujo (before they existed) in a sumo-beya at the start of the Waka-Taka boom, with NSK cooperation On 25/09/2020 at 16:24, Akinomaki said: Quote Wakanoumi Masateru II was active during the 60's and 70's, highest rank was Maegashira 2, looks like his Intai was in 78(?) after that he became an elder and left the association in 1992, not sure what happened to him after that. The Japanese version of the page you provided tells the details https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/若ノ海正照 He became Otake-oyakata http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Kabu.aspx?rikishi=4083, since the kabu was owned by Taiho, attached to Taiho beya (would be better if the DB showed that instead of the same 2 heya as Wakanoumi I). He had to leave the NSK to make room for Ozutsu, then had a "Chanko Wakanoumi" restaurant (closed down https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1313/A131303/13008016/), and appeared as sumo coach in the NHK morning drama Hirari - he died of heart failure at age 49 a few years later. Father of Kachimori and Wakashoho Wakanoumi trained the actors - all without sumo experience - and later also appeared in the drama https://www2.nhk.or.jp/archives/search/special/detail/?d=asadra011 NHK commentator before Kitanofuji, Dewanishiki also appeared https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ひらり_(テレビドラマ) https://mydramalist.com/25291-hirari Schedule: https://www.nhk.jp/p/ts/6X3V93R3K8/schedule/ To record Spoiler youtube-dl --hls-use-mpegts -q -o Hirari.mp4 https://redlabmcdn.s.llnwi.net/nv02/ryowa2hd/tracks-v1a1/mono.m3u8 Edited December 23, 2022 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
