Shimpan groups

We have the same shimpan as May 2022!

Members of this senior group join up with other shimpan groups to act as head shimpan after the juryo ring entrance ceremony & intermission.

Yobidashi info

Yobidashi prior to the juryo-ranked yobidashi (Soichi) aren't listed on the daily program. For non-sekitori yobi included on the program, I'm either recording who appears when from the footage or making educated guesses based on previous rosters.

Yobidashi images and bios

The official program only lists yobidashi from Soichi onwards. Here's links to screencaps of each yobi, including onscreen bios in Japanese: Jin, Takeru, Shintaro (MIA), Yuma, Kenta, Hiroshi, Yuji, Hiromasa, Tsurutaro, Shigejiro, Shin, Naoki, Setsuo, Yuto, Kohei, Shunsuke, Mamoru, Teruya.
