A lot of these guys are built like adorable bowling balls like #Takakeisho was but to see them fight and know how Takakeisho did up in makuuchi, one can really grasp how talented a rikishi he was. #sumo

If rikishi were allowed to heal without fear of dropping down the rankings, the quality of sumo we would get would be so much higher. Instead, #Onosato gave out a kinboshi, #Takerufuji is back in juryo, and we have a thin Minatogawa(?) oyakata instead of a rotund battle hamster. #Takakeisho #sumo

Takakeisho a former sumo wrestler who now goes by the name Minatogawa

My favorite thing about the Hatsu Basho so far is seeing this face right here. #Takakeisho #貴景勝 #Minatogawa #Sumo
