[sumo] (sumo)(spoiler) retirement

[Emmett Wayne]

I believe I saw from another source that since Tochiazuma is an Ozeki, he
can be Tochiazuma Oyakata for 3 years before he has to get an oyakata share.


That would allow dad to finish at 65, and still pass on the heya to
Tochiazuma then.

NHK's story says Tochiazuma plans to stay in the Kyokai as an oyakata, but
no specifics on an oyakata name, or whether his father will pass on Tamanoi
beya to Tochi right away.  However, since dad turns 63 this September and
will thus reach the mandatory retirement age of 65 in 2009, Tochi doesn't
have too long of a wait.  I reckon he'll be a coach/recruiter at the heya
for the time being.
