> Still waiting for the formal announcement. In the meantime, some background. There is a problem with acknowledging Hakuhou's Magaki name. "The decision is definitely not unanimous. I'm not saying he won't be acknowledged in the end, but still.. " said someone who was present during the discussions. Until 2014, the rijikai decided on these matters. Then the Kyokai went public and since then, there is a "Judging Committee " comprised of one delegate from each ichimon and an outsider-six people in all. They reach a decision, they notify the rijikai, and the decision is then finalized. Apparently, it's not going as smoothly as usual, with some members raising the hinkaku (dignity) question.  OTOH, other related people are saying the rijikai will have the final say and that there is no chance that his new name won't be recognized. As for the ichidai-toshiyori question, it was not mentioned. The papers are also saying Hakuhou plans on establishing his own heya and taking his guys with him after the current Miyagino reaches retirement age in August. No mention so far of inheriting the Miyagino name, or at least I haven't seen anything.
