Kaiho 10-4 (losing to Tosanoumi by oshi-taoshi) ------------------------------------------------------- (Facing his junior, Takamisakari also from Nihon University Sumo Club tomorrow) "On the Senshuraku, I imagine there will be a whole lot of his fans cheering for him, so for me it's like an 'Away' match." Tamanoshima 11-3 (over Kakizoe by hikiotoshi) --------------------------------------------------------- (Getting his 11th victory) "It's certainly been a while.

Jonosuke 28 Posted March 26, 2005 This is what I had in my Rikishi Talk and you can see Mado san and I are in a pretty good agreement (despite the fact that my source was different and had a slight different quote): Kokonoe Oyakata (his shisho) ------------------------------ (On Chiyotaikai) "When I read papers, I notice he's been uttering such idiotic comment. He is totally messed up in his head and sumo. I figure he's just about done for in the next basho. He might as well get a Makekoshi and go down." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
