Part 2 of the Daily Shincho (the tabloid) Nishonoseki beya story came out. The bottom line: the JSA knows, asked the people involved, they (including Takaseido) said it was all just fooling around, no harm done. Nishonoseki was reprimanded.

Here are some more details about the Nishonoseki scandals. Two notes: - There will be more details coming in, after the print edition of the weekly magazine is out. - It wasn't a beer bottle, it was a sake bottle, my apologies. (1/9)

Sigh. A new scandal, and this time the tabloid has hard evidence. A video from Nishonoseki beya, filmed in 2022, shows a drunken party that went a little too far. Someone ends up with a beer bottle up his rectum, and not by his own hands. https://buff.ly/4k87Vsf

New Yokozuna, new bow twirler. Akua and Kamito from Tatsunami beya are learning the twirl. Interestingly, another rikishi from Tatsunami beya, Tatsuosho, has already been trained for it. But he was kyujo last basho. Did he quit? Is his injury serious?

The Hakuho Cup (Feb 11) will be streamed on YouTube via this link: www.youtube.com/live/ihDRQoE... They plan to have Terunofuji as commentator for the Junior-High part of the competition, starting 15:25 Japan Time. (Japanese only)

Well, it's no longer confined to a tabloid. There is an official statement from Tobizaru's support group, addressed at supporters and fans. (1/6) https://buff.ly/4hLXCrP

So a friend with a good connection to the heya says that most of things reported about Tobizaru are lies, and if anything current tsukebito tends to forget his job a lot and TZ might get angry but that’s the extent of it. The hair loss is apparently a medical condition. No connection bullying.

This is an article in a tabloid (so should be taken with more than Ura amount of salt). Most of it is hints and speculations about the reasons for Hoshoryu's promotion, and Terunofuji's retirement being premature, etc., but I'll skip those details. (1/5) https://buff.ly/3Q1eU8Q

Terunofuji looks dapper. I hear this is actually an off-the-shelf suit, as his bespoke one is not ready yet. I wonder where in Japan they stock this size.
