As arranged before his passing..... Kofuji-ICAN's rikishi pick is Ryuden (his highest ranking adapted rikishi).  Kofuji-ICAN's rank pick is Sandanme 77 West (the average of all his active adapted rikishi's ranks).  For every point he scores, a donation is made to the international cancer advocacy network (ICAN).

 For those curious, his adopted rikishi were always: rikishi with “kifuji” or “kofuji” in their shikona -- (Nishikifuji, Tsubakifuji, Masakifuji); and any rikishi from "Kofu-shi" in Yamanashi-ken -- (Ryuden).

 Keep the entrees coming...

On another note, Higohikari is not scheduled to fight on first two days. Whether that mean he's also kyuyo for the basho (or it's just weird scheduling) remains to be seen, but I'm curious as to what happens in that case since if he goes full kyuyo he'll drop of banzuke?

Are the lower division matches set?  I don't see them yet.  We've had years when the TORCH didn't get started until Haru.... I'll remain optimistic he'll go in Hatsu.

No TORCH MATCH on Day 1, so there's at least one extra day to update your picks or join the game!

 

 

shimodahito's picks: (rank) Makushita 12 West (rikishi) Kaishin

The first TORCH match is on day 3, so still about 15 hours to join the fun.  New players welcome.
