@SumoZeki My favourite Takakeisho bout is Vs Midorifuji, Day 7, January 2023. Its full of feeling. A true slug fest.

The bow twirler drops the bow during the ceremony. But he uses his foot to pick it up as using the hand would touch the dohyo and be a loss / bad luck. He’s very expressive at the actions though.

If you copy the link and use translator in your browser, this is a good explainer for how pusillanimous the JSA has been to Enho to keep Hakuho out of Sumo.

なぜ元横綱白鵬はここまで嫌われるのか、旧宮城野部屋“完全消滅”で露呈した相撲協会の深い病巣と残酷な現実

掘り下げて記事にしてくれた事はとてもありがたい。だが気にくわない相手を排除するやり方がまかり通る以上、質の良い相撲界の向上は無いと思う。余りにも幼稚。 https://t.co/JzbCP8GpDh

[Hakkiyoi - Lets Learn Sumo @letslearnsumo]

@t_griffin55 I think he took over an active stable rather than starting afresh. The JSA have effectively cut off this option now for Enho.

[Hakkiyoi - Lets Learn Sumo @letslearnsumo]

Enho knows the JSA did it to screw over Myagino & stop him taking it over and the Myagino wrestlers back. I wonder if Terunofuji put pressure on the JSA due to his huge debt to build the new Isegahama stable. He cant really afford to lose the likes of Enho & Hakunofuji now.

＞ネットで発表を知ったという炎鵬は、

これ手続き的にアウトだろ。
執行部は当事者たちに通告一つしなかったんだから。
何が「部屋の問題なので」だよ。

@tachiai_blog The JSA just did him a solid by killing Myagino so they all have to stay permanently now. Word is that he too a bigger chunk of their prize money now too. No escape for the myagino lads now. And made sure Enho cant restart it. Bit of a dick move

[Hakkiyoi - Lets Learn Sumo @letslearnsumo]

@tesol81 @italianozeki It appears to be a bit of a dick move to lock Enho out of restarting the stable just as he earnt elder stock.

𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐨’𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐲𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠
On the 28th, the Japan Sumo Association (JSA) held a board of directors meeting at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo and announced that the temporary custody of Miyagino stable by Isegahama stable would be terminated effective that same day.

All wrestlers and personnel belonging to the former Miyagino stable will now officially become members of Isegahama stable. With this decision, Miyagino stable has officially ceased to exist.

The troubles surrounding Miyagino stable began during a board meeting on February 23, 2024, when the former Miyagino oyakata (former Yokozuna Hakuho) received disciplinary action for failing in his supervisory duties regarding a disciple's violent behavior. At that time, because he was deemed to lack the necessary qualifications and awareness required of a stablemaster, all Miyagino wrestlers and staff were placed under the custody of Isegahama stable—which belongs to the same ichimon. The arrangement was meant to provide guidance and education to Master Miyagino on how to properly run a stable and act as a mentor.

However, in June 2025, Miyagino resigned from the Japan Sumo Association. Following his departure, the JSA decided to continue holding the Miyagino wrestlers under Isegahama stable's custody for the foreseeable future. The board had noted that if an elder wishing to guide and nurture the Miyagino wrestlers made a formal request to the JSA in the future, the board would deliberate on it.

With this latest decision, the temporary custody arrangement has been dissolved, all wrestlers have officially become members of Isegahama stable, and Miyagino stable is no more.

The Japan Sumo Association cited the following reasons for this final decision:
1) More than two years have passed since the custody arrangement began.
2) One year is passing since the former Miyagino oyakata resigned.
3) No formal application or request to revive Miyagino stable had been submitted to the board of directors by this date.

Isegahama oyakata (former Yokozuna Terunofuji) stated, "In accordance with the decision, I will simply focus on doing my absolute best with what is right in front of us. From the very beginning, we talked about everyone working hard together as a single stable. We will continue to give it our all just as we have done until now."

Fujishima, director of public relations (former Ozeki Musoyama), explained the JSA's stance: "We are putting the wrestlers first. Today marks a definitive turning point."

Meanwhile, Magaki oyakata (former Makuuchi Ishiura), who was previously attached to the Miyagino stable, appeared taken aback: "It was sudden news, so I was surprised." Tightening his resolve, he added, "My sole focus has been on what I can do for the wrestlers who were left behind. That will remain my priority moving forward."

𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢: "𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞"
An alumnus of the former Miyagino stable expressed fierce resentment toward the decision. "Why do this right after Enho qualified as a stablemaster? This is nothing short of harassment," the alumnus said angrily. According to them, the transferred wrestlers only found out about the final decision through news reports. "The fact that absolutely no explanation was given in advance is a massive problem. To this day, they have been gritting their teeth and enduring hardships in another stable, holding onto the hope of reviving their own. This treatment is just too cruel," they complained bitterly.

On the 29th, Enho—who recently made his return to the sekitori ranks for the first time in three years—visited the Hokkoku Shimbun offices. He shared his thoughts on finishing the Summer Tournament (Natsu Basho) with an 8-7 winning record. Reflecting on a grueling tournament fought from the very bottom of the Juryo division, he recalled, "My ankles, shoulders, and neck all hurt. But my confidence that I could win never faded," expressing deep gratitude for the support from his hometown.

When asked about the decision made on the 28th to permanently dissolve his former home, Miyagino stable, he spoke sparingly: "It was very sudden, and I was shocked."

Wakatakamoto takes a Sumo Assistant role which is usually limited to 8 people. It is very hard to get so its good he stays within sumo.

[相撲関 @SumoZeki]

It seems Wakatakamoto, the elder brother of Wakatakakage and Wakamotoharu, has elected to retire. He joined sumo in 2009, and his highest rank was Makushita 7.

[Miguel Class @MigClass]

I think that's Chiyotairyū Hidemasa. Reached Komusubi and has a few gold stars over Kisenosato and Harumafuji.
