Makuuchi  Tokihayate is from Kurihara City, Miyagi Prefecture, so he
received thunderous cheers on the dohyo as the jungyo hit his home
town. He became
the first rikishi from his prefecture to make it to Makuuchi in 27 years in
May last year, and won 10 matches  in March. Last year, he was a Juryo
rikishi on the tour, and this is his first time touring his hometown as a
Makuuchi rikishi. The crowd erupted in excitement every time his shikona
was called, and Tokihayate expressed his gratitude, saying, "I'm grateful
to everyone who came out with towels and fans, and to everyone who asked me
for an autograph." He mentioned his favorite local confection, "Yubeshi,
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yubeshi>" revealing his sweet tooth, saying,
"When I come to Sendai, they sell it at the station, so I buy some and eat
it on the Shinkansen on the way back. When I'm in Tokyo, I sometimes order
it online." He said he had eaten beef tongue the day before, and expressed
his anticipation for the Aki basho.  "I want to show forward moving power,"
he summed.
