Some stables are already in Kyushu. Minato-beya is one of them. Nice looking dohyo. I wouldn't mind this for my living room.

First five minutes of watching NFL after Aki Basho. This league still gets pass interference wrong and their mono-ii makes it wrong-er. Click. So, what else is on?

"Return of the Mack" playing in the wild. (Intercom at Union Station) This is a sign. Good things will happen this weekend. #senshuraku #yusho

I got my yusho award. There's a small Ladurée stand in Penn Station. So, in the name of sumo, I am set. The blue one needs to be renamed but "Fruit Loops" is probably fraught with IP concerns. These are better than Costco, yes. But having made macarons from scratch, under $1.00 each is dispiriting.

Eisei lost his first bout but he did well in a tough fight with a great opponent. Good learning experience. Looked like Jōshōyu had lower position and thus better leverage.

The concept. Now give me money like they do for those silly VC projects that don't go anywhere. This will actually happen. I know because I went to Space Camp.

With the insane amount of money going to all things Space and AI, I plan to start the next chapter of Tachiai 2.0: Sumo in Space. We know the first combat in space will be hand-to-hand, grappling for precious asteroid-based resources. Just imagine chucking your opponent off a rock -- in space!🚀

Moved my sumo research to #Substack In #sumo, a yokozuna can't be demoted the way other ranks can. Once you’re at the top of the sumo rankings, the only way down is retirement #sumo #japan #basho #sumoscholar #sumo #onosato #yokozuna #japan #tokyo #sumoscholar

sumoscholar.substack.comThe Step Before Retirement, and How Close Onosato Stands to ItA yokozuna can't be demoted. Every other rank in professional sumo rises and falls with results. The top rank has only one way to end, and that’s retirement.

The Instagram algorithm knows me too well. There was an ad that appeared to explain what meat is in a cow. If I ask AI, 400lbs is the low end after much is trimmed away. It says it should be closer to 500lbs of actual meat. Why sumo related? C'mon y'all! You know my favorite yusho trophy is the cow!

Itsutsu-oyakata, former Akiseyama, is retiring. His kabu was on loan from Shimanoumi. Will Shimanoumi retire or loan his kabu again? It must be in high demand; remember the Supply and Demand graphs? hochi.news/articles/202...
