Kotozakura and song

[Moti Dichne]

Kotozakura , who withdrew from Aki  due to a right knee injury, had 15 bouts against Yokozuna Oonosato at the Nishonoseki-ichimon rengo-keiko today.  Despite finishing with 3-12, he expressed a strong desire to enter Kyushu, saying, "I want to enter a basho when I can, I don't want to be kadoban*." In addition to an old injury to his left knee, he also had concerns about both knees, but laughed, "I think my balance has improved." His father and Oyakata Sadogatake said, "He never said a word about going kyujo. Judging from today's training, I think he'll be fine."

* I wrote this song, influenced by Kotozakura:

"I want to enter a basho when I can,

I  don't really want to be kadoban,

It never was a part of my plan,

Gotta prove that I'm a macho man,

My father used to be a shinpan,

He likes to listen to Steely Dan,

So come and help me, mina-san,

I don't really want to be kadoban!!"
