The Nishonoseki rengo keiko was held today, which ended with a 15 bout face
off between the two Ozeki, which ended with  a 9-6 win by Oonosato.”It was
great keiko,” was said.

Kotosakura, who welcomes the Grand Sumo Spring Venue (the first day of the
9th, Edion Arena Osaka), said, "It's not about winning or losing, but I was
able to take sumo while attacking. Well, it's a flow," he said, showing a
full-handed expression, said Google Translate, pretty goodly.

Takayasu appeared on the YouTube channel "Toyonoshima's Sumo-chan SUMO"
hosted by ex-Toyonoshima (41). When asked about his memories of his senior,
former Yokozuna Kisenosato (current Nishonoseki Oyakata), Takayasu
expressed his gratitude, saying, "There are so many memories. Kisenosato
really took care of me. We were both from Ibaraki, so he really loved me.
He took me out to eat almost every day, and I ate a lot. I was able to gain
weight thanks to Kisenosato." Takayasu also shared a memorable episode with
Kisenosato. "When I won the makushita yusho and was then promoted to Juryo,
he took me out that evening to dinner again. As we were leaving after the
meal, there happened to be a passport photo machine. I don't know what he
was thinking, but Kisenosato said, 'Yasu (Takayasu), let's take a
commemorative photo!' and I was like, 'What, with this?!'...It's not a "fun
picture taking" booth, it's a passport photo machine booth.. It's small,
isn't it? So Kise sat on the chair in the middle. I popped my head in from
the side like Hyokkorihan

comic who sometimes pops into pictures..) and we took a photo together," he
revealed.
