[sumo] [Spoiler}New Banzuke

[Achim Pawelczyk]

The place for the oyakata on the banzuke is at the bottom, slightly
darker if you look at the pictures of rikishi holding one. That's where
old Tokitsukaze-oyakata was dropped and (Tokitsuumi-)Tokitsukaze is
listed among the present oyakata.
Some rule forbids to have the same person listed twice. If however a
rikishi retires after the banzuke conference on the Wednesday after each
 basho, then usually he is listed as a rikishi the next time.
I presume that never before a late-retired-rikishi who became an
oyakata/toshiyori was listed among the oyakata like in this case. (?)

Magaki-oykata (yokozuna Wakanohana II) was in joyful tears.
He is presently recovering from a brain hemorrhage, suffered March 13th.
He lost 30 kilo since then and appeared with a walking stick at the
press conference.
His wife died 2 years ago and he had subsequently developed a drinking
problem.
