Update:
Hoshoryu's chosen dohyo-iri / rope style is Unryu, the same as Asashoryu.
He will be taught the ritual on the 30th by Musashigawa oyakata (former Musashimaru), following the custom, wherein a former Yokozuna from the same ichimon is the teacher.

Terunofuji’s retirement officially announced. He will stay in kyokai and use Terunofuji as his elder stock - a privilege he is allowed to have for 5 years (the he’ll need to find an existing open elder stock).

With Kotozakura and Hoshoryu both on rope runs, how likely are we to see two new Yokozuna in March? Taken individually, both men are in range of “normal” pre-Yokozuna careers. Since 1958, wrestlers promoted to Yokozuna have needed an average of 32 tournaments in makuuchi to achieve the rank.
