Yamanashi 3,839 Posted January 16 So far he's the rikishi who most looks like Lex Luthor (sorry, Rekus Rothoru). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigKahunaMan 4 Posted January 16 With a name and condition like that I half expected him to be a Shikihide lad, but I'll support him just the same. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raishu 208 Posted January 17 If I remember correctly, the last completely bald rikishi was Taikomaru who fought for Azumazeki beya between 2004-2012. https://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=6036 At the end of his career, he started to have some hormonal treatment and some hair had started growing, but he appeared with a cleanly shaved head for his dampatsu-shiki - which was basically a handshake event according to his Japanese Wikipedia entry.

Koorifuu 989 Posted January 18 Definitely celeb material! He's still got a full head of hair on his kyokai profile picture, so the disease must've struck very recently. Hope he goes far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
