You mean, Yokozuna gonin gakari? I remember Harumafuji doing it in some exhibition event.

Nope. I'm sure they would have taken his picture if he was.

ヘルット @sumofollower.bsky.social · 8d

No, they said he resigned because of "money related trouble".

Hoshoryu is currently in Mongolia (with a Kazuto and Tokokei), and had an event held in honor of his Yokozuna promotion. Lots of photos here.

My point is, if the original publication had been "A tokoyama resigned because of extortion", you'd be saying "that's too vague, extortion of whom?".

1

ヘルット @sumofollower.bsky.social · 8d

Well, if they just said "extortion", the next question would be "how was he in a position to extort anybody". So you'd have to say it was a junior tokoyama, and the secret is out.

ヘルット @sumofollower.bsky.social · 8d

So you insist on knowing who it is? Well, I guess the damage is already done. He extorted money from a fellow tokoyama, a minor, from the same ichimon.

ヘルット @sumofollower.bsky.social · 9d

Well, the details are out (in Daily shincho), and yes, they pretty much doxxed the person (he is not from the heya, though). I suppose the JSA could have said "he took money from someone in the ichimon" and it wouldn't reveal him, but it still wouldn't explain anything.

Well, they said that revealing the details of the trouble would hurt the victim's privacy. I take that to mean that the nature of the "trouble" in itself doxxes the victim. So yes, it's vague on purpose.

ヘルット @sumofollower.bsky.social · 9d

Well, if a victim refuses to say he is a victim, you can't really tell. Maybe it's under duress, and maybe he really sees this thing as just part of a drunken party and doesn't feel violated.

The bottom line is, neither the Tokoyama nor Tomokaze (who was not a minor) were kicked out or arrested.

The rikishi involved said it was all in good fun, boys will be boys etc.

Side note: this Tokoyama has been involved in the butt-chugging scandal, i.e., stuffed a sake bottle into a rikishi's anus, and also drank beer despite being underage at the time.

Nishonoseki oyakata has been officially reprimanded by Chairman Hakkaku for negligent supervision.

The JSA says that, given previous occurrences of misbehavior there, Nishonoseki beya will be subject to extra "life guidance" monitoring from now on.

The Compliance Committee conducted an investigation but the Tokoyama has resigned before measures have been taken.

Details as to the nature of this "trouble" were not given, citing the privacy of the victim.

Reset your scandal meters, and refuel your indignation stoves.

A Tokoyama from Nishonoseki beya (not mentioned by name but it was Tokoni - SF) was reported for "money-related problems".

He added "The Taiho (大豊 - combination of kanji from the shikona of two rival Yokozuna - SF) era is upon us!".

Asked about Hoshoryu's henka, he said that "It came about because he wanted to win. Winning is an important goal in a match".

Chairman Oshima was pleased with the first Y vs Y playoff in 16 years: "This was brought about by reflection about the previous basho, and practice".
