Curiosities: that time half a stable went AWOL because the stablemaster's wife was being too harsh on them.
A comprehensive gallery featuring head shots and bios of rikishi, oyakata, gyoji, yobidashi and more (correct to the beginning of 2022). Pre-bout rituals explained; What do the gyoji say?
Thanks to the maintainer of this page for providing these images! Click the name of the shimpan to see what they look like. (You may need to middle-click it to open the link in a new window.)
Izutsu (former Toyonoshima) is taking over Edagawa's old spot! Otherwise, same as before.
Members of this senior group join up with other shimpan groups to act as head shimpan after the juryo ring entrance ceremony & intermission.
Kumegawa (komusubi Kotoinazuma) is either kyujo or has stopped doing head shimp duties.
If shimpan start to drop out like last basho, expect to see one or more of these folks: Hatachiyama (komusubi Tochinohana), Minato (maegashira 2 Minatofuji), Shiranui (komusubi Wakakoyu), Takadagawa (sekiwake Akinoshima) and senior Fujishima (ozeki Musoyama)
Yobidashi prior to the juryo-ranked yobidashi (Soichi) aren't listed on the daily program.
