SpoNichi reports that the Tokitsukaze ichimon may change its name to
Isenoumi.
Ichimon are 5 groups of heya. Tokitsukaze (oyakata name of the great
yokozuna Futabayama) is the newest, formed 1941 from the Futabayama-dojo,
with now 9 members.
Tokitsukaze has become the name of a crime affair. Isenoumi together with
Izutsu is the oldest (1756) heya in the ichimon. Isenoumi-oyakata occupies
presently also the high position of a riji in the sumo kyokai.
