In closing, he reminded Suzuki,
"There are people who think of sumo as the yokozuna--and as such, he becomes the only one they want to see.
Therefore, it is important that (Hoshoryu) do his best."

Comments
(It's no "kenjin-kai" picnic.)
Yokozuna(s) are often misunderstood, and most especially, Hakuho and Hoshoryu.
I wonder if the pressures and mulitple expectations (fans, sponsors, JSA, media, coaches, and themselves)on a yokozuna contribute to develop from what was once a fresh, young athlete with genuine personality, into a harsh and tough/angry man?
