<<1. In parallel to the police investigation currently underway, the Kyokai should hold its own inquiry>>

Tokitsukaze
was interviewed by Kitanoumi, Musashigawa, Isenoumi and the Kyokai's
lawyers and maintained that "everything happened in the course of
keiko". "I think they went too far. A serious sentence is necessary",
countered Kitanoumi afterwards to the press. People close say a special
rijikai is imminent due to the seriousness of the matter. "I admit to
hitting him with a beer bottle the night before his death. The day of
his death, he had a 30 minute butsugari session where he was hit with a
metal bat and a branch on his buttocks, but I told the deshi to stop",
Tokitsukaze exp- lamed. As for the accusations of not assisting him
quickly enough, he said that he was watching him closely and the minute
things took a turn for the worse, he called for an ambulance and that
he was wiping his body with a cold towel.. 
No resignation papers were
submitted. "It's not for me to recommend to him what to do. He should
take responsibility and decide", said Kitanoumi.


<<5.
The Kyokai is advised to add outside experts to a committee the Kyokai
created yesterday to reconsider the ways rikishi are guided, trained
and instructed.>>>

Takasago was
originally planned to be a member, but he will not be. The three main
members are Isenoumi, Tomozuna and newly appointed Hasegawa + 5 other
Oyakata -one from each Ichimon, the likes of Nakamura and Matsugane.
The other external people will be nominated starting tomorrow.
