But of course, I just couldn't resist...

Asakoryu and Asasuiryu got new kesho-mawashi from Meitoku High School, each in his shikona's color.

But... Geri couldn't resist, and neither can I 😁 .

Sad, even shocking, news for those who follow the lower divisions: the very popular gyoji, Shikimori Kazenosuke, is no longer on the JSA's employees list. The circumstances are as yet unclear.

In the banzuke meeting held earlier today, 5 rikishi were promoted from Makushita to Juryo (the rest of the banzuke will be revealed Sept. 1):

Takasago beya: Asanoyama, Asahakuryu, Asasuiryu (Morning Green Dragon, formerly Ishizaki).

Oshima beya: Kyokukaiyu.

Sakaigawa beya: Nishinoryu.

Golden reaction from the oyakata channel...

Wakaikari, upon his promotion, has been renamed "Fujinokawa" - "River of Wisterias".

Yes, this "Fuji" (藤) means "wisteria", not Mount Fuji.

Shikona containing "river" used to be very common, but nowadays they have become a rarity.

Kusano celebrates his Makuuchi promotion with a fresh chon-mage.

The beast has been tamed.

This is the new Isegahama beya location. It's in Tatekawa, Sumida City, much closer to Ryogoku than the previous location in Koto City. This is, of course, from Google Street View, so it doesn't show the new (temporary) sign.

I think there is something you don't understand about kabu exchange.

He could absolutely not get Hakuho's kabu if Hakuho wasn't willing and happy to give it to him.

These two sure look like enemies, don't they.

Now awaiting Wednesday.

Satonofuji has retired. He planned it to coincide with Isegahama's mandatory retirement.

お疲れ様でした。

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.

Mom, dad, two uncles, lots of relatives.

And a fish.

Asashoryu's reaction: "It's all in the genes of these two people."
