[Moti Dichne]

The Nishonoseki rengo keiko was held today, which ended with a 15 bout face off between the two Ozeki, which ended with  a 9-6 win by Oonosato.”It was great keiko,” was said. 

Kotosakura, who welcomes the Grand Sumo Spring Venue (the first day of the 9th, Edion Arena Osaka), said, "It's not about winning or losing, but I was able to take sumo while attacking. Well, it's a flow," he said, showing a full-handed expression, said Google Translate, pretty goodly.

Takayasu appeared on the YouTube channel "Toyonoshima's Sumo-chan SUMO" hosted by ex-Toyonoshima (41). When asked about his memories of his senior, former Yokozuna Kisenosato (current Nishonoseki Oyakata), Takayasu expressed his gratitude, saying, "There are so many memories. Kisenosato really took care of me. We were both from Ibaraki, so he really loved me. He took me out to eat almost every day, and I ate a lot. I was able to gain weight thanks to Kisenosato." Takayasu also shared a memorable episode with Kisenosato. "When I won the makushita yusho and was then promoted to Juryo, he took me out that evening to dinner again. As we were leaving after the meal, there happened to be a passport photo machine. I don't know what he was thinking, but Kisenosato said, 'Yasu (Takayasu), let's take a commemorative photo!' and I was like, 'What, with this?!'...It's not a "fun picture taking" booth, it's a passport photo machine booth.. It's small, isn't it? So Kise sat on the chair in the middle. I popped my head in from the side like Hyokkorihan (a Japanese comic who sometimes pops into pictures..) and we took a photo together," he revealed.
