List above amended. The official list is now available for all divisions at https://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoMain/absence/.

Raishu 208 Posted January 11 (edited) M8 Roga (Futagoyama beya) He injured his foot/lower leg (?) during butsugari at the Soken, lending his chest to a lower ranker (was captured on video). He had to be replaced by another sekitori to finish the session and a yobidashi threw some salt into the ring. I am obviously not sure whether this is the exact reason for his absence, but I wouldn't be surprised. Edited January 15 by Raishu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikkan posted the yokozuna career overview - the first career pics I start to collect for the intai pics overview ZakZak posted the appropriate pic for the article guessing that the monkey sent him out for good o the last loss to Tobizaru led to 3 kyujo (2 full basho) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koorifuu 990 Posted January 16 Probably a coincidence this time. They probably settled their differences a few months ago since Tobizaru stopped going deliberately for his knees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 45,093 Posted January 17 Showtime did not appear for his Johnny Dunn bout today. He was on the way to his first yusho being 2-0 and all. Very regrettable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
