The things people do to get their uncles to stop calling.

I'm working to drop the nickname nephew, I've learned he doesn't like it.
Perhaps
Throwshoryu
Yokoshoryu

Well, if you get to yokozuna you kinda earn to be called whatever you like.
well done

There's going to be a lot of attention and expectations on Hoshoryu now. The lone Yokozuna, he's young and relatively injury free. I hope the pressure doesn't get to him, especially coming into March.

what a great presentation.
i loved the focus on the undercurrrents of the sumo world, which extend way, waay outside the ring.
fascinating world, but obviously completely closed for dudes like me or basically everybody non japanese.

Hoshoryu's acceptance ceremony will be streaming live on YouTube in about 2 hours

It's really happening.



God, at certain points it's like seeing Asashoryu again.
