Ichiyamamoto - A popular rikishi with witty talk and smooth skin, he was
recently featured in an interview with a beauty website ahead of this
basho, where he was described as "popular for his cheerful personality and
radiant skin."

 While getting his mage styled in the shitaku-beya, I asked Ichiyamamoto
about his beauty routine.

-What made you start paying attention to your beauty routine?

Ichiyamamoto: I have dry, rough skin. I started to worry about it once I
turned 30.

-Being a rikishi is a job where people see you, after all.

Ichiyamamoto: No, that's not the issue. It's just my rough skin. It's
because of my age. I decided to take good care of my skin.

-How did you learn?

Ichiyamamoto: I taught myself by watching stuff on YouTube. I also asked
beauty consultants.

-How many cosmetics do you have?

Ichiyamamoto: I have about 10 different types.

-How did you feel when you received an offer to do an interview about
beauty?

Ichiyamamoto: Wow, I was surprised.

-Do you take care of your skin during a basho when you get back to your
heya?

Ichiyamamoto: I do it when I get back to my heya. Actually, I should do it
here (in the dressing room) but...

How long do you spend on skincare?

Ichiyamamoto: About 10 minutes. The Haru Basho in March is known as the
"wild Haru Basho" due to the extreme temperature fluctuations (I thought it
was called that because of the many upsets there..), but it's also the
season for rough skin.

"I have to get home quickly," said Ichiyamamoto, quickly changing as usual
and leaving the venue. If he's quick, he'll take a bath and leave the
dressing room just five minutes after his match. But even though he's quick
to get changed, he takes more than twice as long to carefully care for his
skin after returning to his heya. [Masuda Kazuhiro]

Priceless.
