Oh brother. We have 15 year old twins joiningthe new recruits as well.
First set of twins since Haru 2005, and the second set of twins ever to
join together, but going to different heyas, Takashima and Tomozuna. The
Kigurashi? (木暮) brothers. They are identical twins, one (Akira?
Masahiro? the older) is 177 centimeters, 125 kilos, the other (Sadahiro
the younger)178 and 124 kilos. "I'd like to face my younger brother in a
playoffff..", said the other brother. They've been doing sumo since the
fifth grade. Their father manages a golf course, so they have been doing
that too, but their dream has always been Sumo. They differ in style as
well. The older one is an oshi type, the younger prefers yotsu. "The
eldest is gentle, the other is more active", said 47 year old mum. Older
one will be Takanomiya and the younger Kainomiya, utilizing part of
their mother's maiden name "Miyashita", plus the "Taka" from Takashima
and the "Kai" from Tomozuna respectively. "While I'm at it, I'm aiming
for Yokozuna!!", said one of them, but I can't tell the difference
between them so I don't know which one.

Love grows and so does Toyonoshima. He has grown by 2 centimeters, and
is now officially 1.70 meters. "It's 2 centimeters more., but I am not
happy! Me being small is my selling point!", he wailed. Still, he's
small, and will try to wriggle his way to Sanyaku come the basho.
